{{Tsrwotc}}{{Source|[[Paizo Publishing]]}}In the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [[fantasy]] [[role-playing game]], the '''alkilith''' is an [[Outsider (Dungeons & Dragons)|outsider]], a [[Demon (Dungeons & Dragons)|demon]] of the tanar'ri breed. They are sentient blobs of [[Abyss (Dungeons & Dragons)|abyssmal]] pollution and corruption that are used by Demon Lords for missions in the most dangerous and inhospitable regions of the Abyss.
==Typical physical characteristics==
An alkilith appears as a shivering blob of phosphorescent green corruption surrounded by a cracked, leathery coating that constantly oozes, secretes, hardens, and splits open. Dark, swollen eye-globules dot the surface of its body. Though alkiliths are at least as large as a [[Human (Dungeons & Dragons)|human]], they can shape their amorphous bodies to fit through cracks as small as 1 inch wide. There seems to be no upper limit to an Alkilith's size however; planar travelers tell stories of alkiliths the size of lakes in the deepest reaches of the Abyss. Despite their gelatinous shape, alkiliths can move at a respectable speed.
==Society==
==Combat==
Alkiliths can attack up to four times a round with [[pseudopodWikipedia:Pseudopod|pseudopods]]s of [[acid]]ic slime. These hideous creatures take great pleasure in corrupting and polluting their environs, and they have been known to ignore attackers for a chance to corrupt a pool of fresh water.
In addition to the acidic pseudopods, an alkilith can assume the form of a cloud of noxious green vapor that damages those within it.
Alkiliths also have numerous spell-like abilities, the ability to command [[Ooze (Dungeons & Dragons)|oozesooze]]s, and once per day, they can summon a [[hezrou]].
