Description
A Forn demon can do the following at will:
- polymorph self into gnome, coin, or jewel,
- Mind Blank,
- Nystul's magical aura,
- gate in a quasit (25% chance of success), and
- Comprehend Language
Forn demons look like tapeworms in their true form -- 1/4 inch wide, very thin, and about a foot long. If left undisturbed on the skin of an animal, they can ooze through the skin over a 2 hour period.
Once inside, they make their way to the brain (4 hour journey from a human foot, e.g.) and consume it.
