Depending on how the Grimalkin was made determines its special abilities, it has one of the following as well as Poison Immunity:

  • Bloodcurdling Howl: up to 3 times per encounter. Opponents within 15’ must Save or take 2d4 Thunder damage.
  • Necrotizing Claws:if a target is struck by the Grimalkin’s poisonous claws they must Save vs. Poison or a limb will rot off in 2-5 days unless cured with Cure Disease or Remove Curse.
  • Regeneration: it quickly recovers hit points at the rate of 1d4 per round unless the damage is done by fire, lightning, or acid.
  • Resistance: Fire
  • Immunity: all Grimalkin are immune to Poison

Blighted Grimalkin are familiars that have been separated from their witch, they are a disturbing omen that foreshadow grim events. Plagues, crop failures, still borns are said to be caused by their presence. They appear as undead cats, with matted fur, hollow eyes and a nauseous stench.

If slain on a full blood red moon in autumn, in the presence of its witch it can come back as a blighted grimalkin with a Bloodcurdling Howl.

If it is buried in a cursed graveyard, it may come back as an undead with Necrotizing Claws.

If the witch it is bonded to dies by decapitation the grimalkin also dies, and comes back with the power of Regeneration.

If the witch it is bonded to dies by fire the grimalkin dies of a heartbreak, and comes back with the fury of hell in its eyes and it is Resistant to Fire.
