[QUOTE="freyar, post: 4314509, member: 40227"] No joke! These are weird and confusing critters. Here's how I read the transforming bit. The orcs would turn into immortal aruchai for one day, which they spend on the Material Plane, then get sucked back to Limbo and get turned back into orcs, though now CN. The original aruchai are still wandering around Limbo somewhere and nothing ever happened to them. Clearly, we need to make some sense of this. There are some monsters with "take over the bodies of the dead" abilities (yellow musk creeper maybe?), and I'll see about looking some up. I actually think that the parasites might be part of the aruchai that are just disconnected. Seriously, these are practically aberrations, like a gibbering mouther. Yeah, this is weird, too. I'm not sure how much sense this ability really makes in 3e speak. Actually, let's deal with type first: anyone else think this might be an aberration, or are we going with ooze? [/QUOTE]
