**feat gained from victim.
Extract (Ex): If S'rurrus begins her turn with all four tentacles attached and successfully maintains her hold, she automatically extracts the opponent's brain, instantly killing that creature.
Frightful Presence (Ex): This ability takes effect automatically whenever S'rurrus attacks or charges. Each creature within a radius of 360 feet that has 37 or fewer Hit Dice must make a successful Will save (DC 36) or become panicked for 4d6 rounds (if it has 4 or fewer HD) or shaken for 4d6 rounds (if it has 5 or more HD). A potentially affected creature that makes its saving throw is immune to S'rurrus's frightful presence for 24 hours.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, S'rurrus must hit a Small to Large creature with tentacle attack. After a successful grab, she can try to attach her remaining tentacles with a single grapple check. The opponent can escape with a single successful grapple check, but S'rurrus gets a +2 circumstance bonus for every tentacle that was attached at the beginning of the opponent's turn.
Mind Blast (Sp): At will, S'rurrus can produce a 60-foot-long cone. Anyone caught in this area must make a successful Will save (DC 23) or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. S'rurrus can quicken this ability three times per day.
Psionics (Sp): At will -- astral projection, charm monster, detect thoughts, levitate, plane shift, suggestion. Caster level 8th; save DC 17 + spell level. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Lore (Ex): At will, S'rurrus can make a special lore check to recall esoteric information from the brains of those she has consumed.
Regeneration (Ex): Damage dealt to S'rurrus is treated as subdual damge, which automatically heals at a rate of 5 hit points per round. Fire and acid deal normal damage to her, which doesn't go away. Attack forms that don't deal hit point damage ignore regeneration, and she does not regain hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation.
Telepathy (Su): S'rurrus can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.
True Seeing (Su): S'rurrus continuously uses true seeing as the spell cast by a 12th-level cleric.
