Entity: Lantern Surki

Source Howl of the Wild pg. 49 ^2.1

The nodes in your abdomen are particularly luminous. You can use an Interact action to shed light from your abdomen in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for the next 20 feet). This is a magical light effect with a level equal to your own. You can change the color of the light or extinguish it with another Interact action.

• **Evolution** Your abdominal nodes have evolved into a pair of secondary limbs that project a magical focusing lens. You gain the Lantern Beam action.
  **Lantern Beam** ([light](/Traits.aspx?ID=640), [fire](/Traits.aspx?ID=604), [magical](/Traits.aspx?ID=644)) **Requirements** Your lantern light is shining; **Effect** Your lenses focus your light into a searing beam. You deal 5d4 fire damage to all creatures in a 30-foot line, with a [basic](/Rules.aspx?ID=329) Reflex saving throw against the higher of your class DC or spell DC. Your lantern light then extinguishes, and you can't use this ability or use your lantern light again for 1d4 rounds. At 11th level and every two levels thereafter, the damage increases by 1d4.
• **Evolution** Secondary light emitters grow from your shoulder nodes that flash in time with your lantern. You gain the Lantern Strobe action.
  **Lantern Strobe** ([light](/Traits.aspx?ID=640), [magical](/Traits.aspx?ID=644), [visual](/Traits.aspx?ID=727)) **Frequency** once per hour; **Effect** As you pulse your lantern, your emitters flash erratically, disorienting your opponents that see it. Each opponent in a 15-foot cone must attempt a Fortitude save against your class DC or spell DC (whichever is higher). On a failure, the creature is [dazzled](/Conditions.aspx?ID=65) for 1 round. On a critical failure, the creature is [blinded](/Conditions.aspx?ID=59) for 1 round and dazzled for the following round.
