This floating creature has numerous writhing tentacles protruding from a body that is hidden inside an enormous shell. The colors of its body shift slowly between grays, greens, and even deep purples._
**Otherborn.** Kachlians form in the space between spaces, birthed where madness prevails. They find their way to the darkened caverns beneath the ground through portals of chaos and darkness—breaches in the fabric of reality caused by concentrations of turmoil, despair, and insanity.

**Eater of Souls.** The kachlian consumes the souls of creatures, preferring intelligent and enlightened prey. When it consumes a creature, the creature’s soul is torn to pieces. The kachlian absorbs the parts it considers valuable into its own being and discards the rest. These partial souls often combine into a twisted amalgam of spirits called a Open Game License
