Spells: Banelars have the spellcasting abilities of a 6th-level cleric (with access to the Evil, Magic, and Water domains) and a 6th-level wizard. All of a banelar's spells have only verbal components, and a banelar can cast a single spell every round as a free action while attacking.
Poison (Ex): Those hit by a banelar's bite or tail attack must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 18) or be injected with poison. The initial damage is 2d4 points of temporary Constitution damage and the secondary damage is unconsciousness for 1d3 hours. As a side effect of the poison, the victim's skin turns blue around the wound.
Magic Items: Banelars collect magic items and use them freely. Their tentacles can wear or manipulate amulets, rings, wands, rods, potions, and similar small items.
Resist Petrification (Ex): Banelars gain a +3 bonus on their saving throws to resist petrification.
A banelar's physical attacks are its bite and the stinger at the end of its tail, both of which inject venom into its prey. Banelars have a wide range of magical abilities to complement these attacks as well.
