Description Icon.png

Though a thick coating of astral frost prevents this parasite from squirming, you feel an immense psychic weight writhe and roil within. It has languished in the Sea of Dead Gods for countless millennia -- learning, gathering potential. It is something old ready to become new again. It is ready for evolution.

Notes

  • The tadpole can be eaten, communed with or destroyed. The last of which is only an option if you've avoided consuming tadpoles so far. Eating or communing with the tadpole will result in the party member receiving its powers; however, if it is eaten, it cannot be communed with by other members of the party.
  • Any character who communes with (or eats) the tadpole will change in appearance, gaining prominent black veins over their entire body.
