A cunning cloak appears to be a length of fabric. It has natural flexibility to appear circular, semicircular, square, rectangular, or triangular and may assume the appearance of tablecloths, curtains, valances, tapestries, rugs, blankets, or clothes like skirts and cloaks. It is rare, but not unheard of, to find them curled up like a bolt of cloth. They also possess a limited ability to shift in color, but only darker tones.
They may independently choose their own places to hunt, but they are also used as traps by owners of fortresses and strongholds if the structure is to be left uninhabited for some time.
Special Abilities
Engulf: Depending on its location relative to prey, it may fly, drop, or wrap itself around the victim, who must make a save vs. Breath Weapon or be engulfed. Once engulfed, the captured individuals’ limbs cannot move.
Claws: Present but hidden in the cunning cloak are two claws (1d4 each) which can be used to stab its prey, defend itself.
Damage Split: Attacks on this creature will result in damage being split between the cunning cloak and the victim. Fire or cold attacks cause full damage to both.
Suffocation: Enveloped persons will suffocate to death in 1d4+1 rounds unless freed.
