A target hit by this attack must succeed at a DC 23 Reflex save or be dazzled for 1 round. Protective Tablets (Ex) As a reaction to taking energy damage, an ursolha can gain resistance 10 against that damage type that lasts until the beginning of the ursolha’s next turn. This resistance applies to the damage that triggered the reaction. An ursolha cannot use this ability if they are grabbed. Description The construct-like floating obelisks known as ursolhas usually stand around 15 feet tall and weigh several dozen tons. Each of the four sides of their bodies have a vertical row of three glowing, circular eyes. A mass of twitching tentacles protrudes from their base, much like an aberrant cephalopod, though they generally don’t use these for locomotion. Scattered strange tablets covered in indecipherable glowing runes orbit about them and can absorb energy attacks. Despite their appearance, an ursolha is a living being, though some of their traits lead many scholars to believe they are partially synthetic, much in the same way as androids. Their coloration can range from sandy browns to stone grays. There have been only a handful of reports of ursolha encounters, and no two of these rendezvous have been the same. Ursolhas have been reported digging up artifacts, harvesting fruit, pouring over data slates, dissecting living creatures, and performing a wide array of other activities. They’ve both worked peacefully with individuals and attacked others on sight. No one is certain what drives ursolhas, and while they are clearly intelligent beings capable of understanding a number of languages, they rarely speak anything other than their own tongue, Ursolhan, which has proven difficult to translate. Some xenolinguists who have spent extended periods studying the rare language have reported being plagued with terrible nightmares and waking visions.
