Ibn-i Fer’ekh
The Ibn-i Fer’ekh is a five-foot worm, a miniature replica of the Great Worm Fer’ekh, which those who have made a pact with Fer’ekh can summon to their side.1
The worm is one of the Voidborn. It perceives without eyes and through the trembling of the ground, and it speaks only by telepathy.2
Abilities
The Ibn-i Fer’ekh can sense the presence of sentient organic life within a mile of it. Closer by, it knows exactly how many humanoids are near and the general direction in which they lie, though not their precise positions. It can burrow through solid rock, leaving a narrow tunnel in its wake.2
The worm can enter the body of a willing humanoid through the mouth. Once inside, it cannot be detected by magical means. It seizes its prey by constricting it, and its bite is venomous.2
