The Minion of Taranokk is a slightly smaller version of Taranokk.
Outside of combat the Minion of Taranokk will help Xalthon with its goals if both have gotten to the Great Wheel, otherwise it will attempt to find the strongest host for its embed ability, especially one that can restore Taranokk. In combat it uses its illusions to take advantage of its enemies, makes them fight each other with manipulation spells, or directly attacks them with blight if it doesn't know enough about them. Once it runs out of spells it uses its reflect light for the remainder of combat. If it has time before combat it will gear up with armor of agathys or protection from evil and good. |
