description
Aartuks are intelligent plant creatures that live to wage war. Beholders destroyed their original home world and scattered the survivors across the Material Plane. These survivors formed small nomadic cells.
Aartuk cells can be found throughout Wildspace, including aboard spelljamming ships whose former crews were either murdered or forcibly ejected by a band of aartuks.
An aartuk's body is shaped like a five-pointed star and is covered with thick, flexible bark. The tips of its branch-like extremities end in suction cups that allow the creature to climb on vertical surfaces and along ceilings. Each suction cup houses three retractable pseudopods that are used to manipulate small objects.
The head of an aartuk surmounts a 6-foot-tall stalk that can be extruded from the center of the star. The head contains the aartuk's sensory organs, including a long tongue that the creature uses as a weapon.
An aartuk continues to grow throughout its long life. Aartuk elders can be as large as 12 feet in diameter.
An aartuk's preferred method of attack is to shoot forth its gooey tongue and use it to drag enemies to ward the center of its body so that it can batter them with its powerful branches. It can also spit pellets of radiant energy.
Aartuks have no deities of their own, but certain groups have adopted various gods of war and vengeance, including Gruumsh, Hextor, and Sargonnas.
The Aartuk language is made up of rustling sounds, snaps, pops, and hisses. It has no written form.
