Drawn to the light of distant stars, these creatures invade Wildspace systems and lay waste to worlds. After feeding on the minds and bodies of a world\u2019s inhabitants until it is sated, a cosmic horror usually returns to the void, where it falls into a deep sleep, drifting aimlessly until hunger or some other stimulus awakens it.\r\n[in]Cosmic horrors are among the most powerful creatures spawned by the Far Realm. No two of them have the same appearance, but they have certain qualities in common. Each one is roughly 100 feet long or tall, and its physical form is a seemingly impossible conglomeration of eyes, mouths, wings, tentacles, and less recognizable organs and appendages.[\/in]","suggested_environments":"Astral Plane","armor_class":"15","hit_points":"280","strength":"27","dexterity":"10","constitution":"25","intelligence":"24","wisdom":"15","charisma":"24","base_movement_units":"","base_movement_in_ft":"50","fly_movement_in_ft":"100","burrow_movement_in_ft":"","swim_movement_in_ft":"","climb_movement_in_ft":"","senses":"[tooltip:If you have Darkvision, you can see in Dim Light within a specified range as if it were Bright Light and in Darkness within that range as if it were Dim Light.
