Black Fog Cloud (Su): A Lesser Spirit centipede can cough up a poisonous cloud of black fog as a standard action. The cloud extends in a spread centered on the spirit centipede with a radius of 10 feet. A centipede is immune to the effects of its own cloud. Any creature that comes in contact with a black fog cloud must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 12) or suffer the effects of the cloud. The effects depend on the centipede's current form.

The black fog cloud obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures within 5 feet of an enemy have one-half concealment, so attacks from that enemy have a 20% miss chance. Creatures farther away from an enemy have total concealment, imposing a 50% miss chance, and attackers can't use sight to locate the target. Spirit centipedes have no sight advantage within the cloud. A black fog cloud disperses after 1d4 rounds.

Alternate Form (Ex): A lesser spirit centipede is a smaller version of the greater variety. It can assume three different forms - centipede, snake, and toad. Changing form is a full-round action.

Spirit Subtype

Spirit creatures include some fey and elementals (nature spirits), outsiders (celestial spirits), undead (ghosts and ancestors), and even dragons. Spirit creatures are nor necessarily incorporeal, despite their name - in the worlds of Oriental Adventures, some spirits are as much flesh and bone as humans are. The only game effect of the spirit type modifier is that spirit creatures are all affected by spells such as commune with greater spirit, invisibility to spirits, and protection from spirits.
