Inspired by the work of A.E.Van Vogt, coeurls are vaguely feline predators with twin tentacles. They are black in colour. They feed on what they call the “id” of living creatures—by this they mean their essential life force, not “id” in the Freudian sense. Owing to their alien nature Coeurls are hard to target, hence their low armour class and their ability to roll all saving throws at +6. They can communicate telepathically, though they rarely do so.
Coeurls hate blink dogs (q.v.) and will hunt them down and kill them if possible.
