This hulking horror walks ape-like on tremendous metal-plated limbs. Fused to its back via tangled ribs and glowing hoses, a malformed humanoid shape writhes under the weight of its own engorged cranium.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Broadcast (Su)

Aloadai possess a selective type of long-distance telepathy. All aloadai can communicate telepathically with all other aloadai within 3 miles. They can also communicate telepathically with other creatures within 50 ft.

Dual Psyche (Ex)

An aloadai is a single creature with two minds, connected but independent. In combat, an aloadai rolls initiative twice, adding its Intelligence modifier to the first roll and its Dexterity modifier to the second. The first initiative check represents the mind’s initiative; on this turn, the mind has one standard action for purely mental actions, such as casting spells or using its spell-like abilities. The second initiative check represents the body’s initiative; on this turn, the aloadai can take a full round of purely physical actions, such as using its slam attack, or attempting combat maneuvers or Athletics checks.

Fast Healing (Ex)

An aloadai’s fast healing is suppressed for 1 round when it is dealt damage from a silver or good-aligned weapon or spell.

Lead the Choir (Su)

When two aloadai come within 100 feet of each other, their minds and bodies automatically synchronize. They use the same initiative counts, with both of the minds and bodies rolling twice and taking the higher result. This effect also lets the two work in synchronization; if the two bodies attack the same creature, they use the same die rolls, but roll twice and take the higher result for each attack. If the two minds both target the same area or creature with a spell, creatures affected by both effects take a -2 penalty on their saving throws against this spell. Only two aloadai can be linked in this way. Finally, if there are two or more aloadai or terpsikhore within 100 feet of each other, they share a collective readiness. If one of these creatures is aware of a particular danger, they all are; no creature in this group is flat-footed unless all of them are.

Mystic Aegis (Su)

An aloadai adds its Intelligence modifier to saving throws against spells cast by a mystic or from a mystic source (such as spell-like abilities granted by the Mystic Connection feat). In addition, all creatures with the kyton subtype gain a bonus against such spells and to their Armor Class equal to half of this bonus (usually +2). When an aloadai rolls a Will saving throw, it rolls twice and takes the higher result.

Unnerving Gaze (Ex)

A creature that succumbs to a aloadai’s unnerving gaze becomes filled with paranoia and sees enemies everywhere.

It is treated as being flanked by all enemies for 1 round.
