It is at least 20 feet long, with lumpy metallic skin, several clusters of tentacle-like arms, and two massive eyes that give off a brilliant light.\r\n\r\n[b]Gazing Meditation: [\/b]Once it emerges from the ground or the larger machine it infests, the sentinel stares in one direction, locking its gaze on a particular machine, ruin feature, or precious component for hours, days, or even weeks at a time, as if in contemplation. It breaks eye contact only if it attacks another creature, or when its strange meditation ends and it departs.\r\n\r\n[b]Directional Threat or Reasonable Entity:[\/b] If approached from almost any direction, a zulerin sentinel is a dangerous threat. However, if approached from the front (the direction of its gaze), it remains peaceful and open to interaction unless attacked. These creatures speak a variety of languages with a mechanical voice and, if approached straight on, will engage with characters. A zulerin sentinel may provide an interesting piece of information, but only if the PCs bring it salvage from the machine, ruin, or feature on which it has locked eyes. For reasons it won\u2019t elaborate, it can\u2019t move any closer.","suggestedenvironment":"[i]Technological[\/i]","ac":"18 (natural armour)","hitpoints":"247 ([roll:15d12+90])","strength":"28","dexterity":"10","constitution":"22","intelligence":"14","wisdom":"10","charisma":"14","movement":"30","fly":"","hover":"","burrow":"20","swim":"","climb":"","senses":"blindsight 30 ft., tremorsense 60 ft., passive Perception 19","skills":"Perception +9","savingthrows":"Dex +4, Con +8, Wis +5, Cha +7","damagevulnerabilities":"lightning","damageresistances":"","damageimmunities":"necrotic, poison, psychic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks that aren't skymetal (adamantine)","conditionimmunities":"charmed, deafened, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned","spellcasting":"","atwill":"","onceperday":"","twiceperday":"","thriceperday":"","specialabilities":"[i][b]Tunneler.
