Attachment (Ex): Dwarf Astel Monarchs deal 1 point of permanent Wisdom drain. Item Slot (Ex): Dwarf Astel Monarchs attach to the shoulder slot. This other worldly insectoid creature looks like a ruffled silk cloak resembling tattered, wispy wings when attached to a creature. Anytime the wearer falls asleep (whether the sleep is natural or brought on by a magical effect), the symbiont immediately transforms into sticky strands that envelop the wearer’s body, hardening into a solid silk cocoon. While wrapped in the cocoon the wearer gains a +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor and is protected from critical hits and sneak attacks as if subject to the heavy fortification armor ability (75% chance for normal damage on a critical hit). The cocoon opens and transforms back into a cloak once the wearer awakens. Telepathy (Su): A Dwarf Astel Monarch can communicate telepathically with its host, if the host has a language.
