Planar Bestiary
Creatures shaped by surviving the cataclysmic end times of their own worlds, evaclasts have appeared in familiar planes from very far across the multiverse, possibly even the Planes of Mirror and Shadow where alternate parallel realities cancel each other out in sometimes apocalyptic fashion. Some people suggest evaclasts are not from our universe at all, but rather entities of the Far Realm. However, the few times that aberrations from outside the multiverse and evaclasts have met, they predate each other as they would any other creature.
When an evaclast appears, they may claim to serve the "Tribunal of Havoc." Little is known of such an entity, but rumors suggest that wherever this tribunal shows up, universal doom follows—doom so all-encompassing that news of the destruction rarely leaks beyond the fallen plane or world. However, an evaclast is more than a messenger. They may ultimately prove to be the reason everything is falling apart in the first place.
Motive: Hungers for flesh
Environment: Worlds of the Material Plane, as lone arbiters of doom, or with a zombie entourage
Health: 33
Damage Inflicted: Moderate wound (7 points)
Armor: 3
Movement: Short; long when flying
Modifications: Perception as level 9
Combat: The evaclast attacks twice each round with their fists (or twice by spitting tooth-like projectiles at targets within long range), inflicting a moderate wound (5 points) plus an additional 2 points of damage from acid.
Once each day, the evaclast can turn one of their successful acidic fist attacks into a death touch as part of the same attack action. If a damaged target fails a Might defense task, they take 20 points of damage from a flare of necrotic energy. If killed, the victim rises as a zombie under the evaclast's control.
The evaclast can spin up a necrotic vortex every few rounds. Creatures within immediate range that fail a Speed defense task take 7 points of Speed damage (ignores Armor).
The evaclast regains 5 points of health each round. If the evaclast takes radiant damage, this regeneration is suppressed for one round.
An evaclast is immune acid and electricity attacks.
Interaction: Whatever their origin, evaclasts can be judged only by their actions. Which, so far, involve consuming every other mortal, fiend, celestial, aberration, beast, or other creature they run across. Eating, they say, is the only joy left to them after the deaths of everything they once knew. (Deaths, some suggest, that might have been caused by the evaclasts themselves.)
Use: A long-standing prophecy of doom seems one step nearer when an evaclast arrives.
Loot: An evaclast may possess a few destructive cyphers, such as a pearl of detonation (massive) and possibly a horrific artifact taken from a destroyed world, such as a sphere 23.

GM Intrusion: The evaclast attacks twice more with their fists, or uses their ability to spin up a necrotic vortex, even if they've already taken an action or if it isn't their turn.
GM Intrusion: The evaclast uses magic to turn a victim within short range to stone for one round, even if the evaclast has already taken an action or if it isn't their turn.
