A few of the creatures from the Far Realm are known, such as Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu, but there are many more who have never before been known to the inhabitants of the Wheel. Taranokk is one of these creatures, an elder evil. Appearing as a floating ruby, it is thought to be actual flesh and blood, hence being an aberration. Taranokk has an alliance with Xalthon, strange since both are very evil.
Outside of combat Taranokk uses its spell slots to cast scrying and dream, to stake out targets. After using up its spell slots in this way, it will cast Foresight and begin to rest. Its goal in these spells is to get the strongest possible host for its embed ability, or to help Xalthon with its goals if both have gotten to the Great Wheel. 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, flesh to stone and power word stun 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 foresight, conjure elemental and armor of agathys. As a last resort it can cast plane shift, otherwise it will usually save it. |
