Vrolikai
A demon born from countless devoured souls drains the life of anyone who lingers near its gaze, raising the drained dead as ghouls.
Powerful vrolikais command the untamed armies of demonkind, uniting them behind their one unifying desire for death and destruction. Unlike other demons, the dreaded vrolikai doesn't form directly from a single soul—they instead manifest when a demon devours so many damned souls that their own individual desires are lost in the sinful cacophony.
In play
Death-Stealing Gaze (aura, divine, visual) 30 feet. When a non-demon ends its turn in the aura, it must attempt a DC 38 Fortitude save. If it fails, it becomes drained 1. A creature that dies while it has drain from a vrolikai's gaze rises as a ghoul the next midnight.
