Cilops seem to require no sleep and will
track their prey for week without stopping. Their unique
object reading ability allows them to touch an object and
then associate that object with an individual. While they
ordinarily track by scent, if they are in danger of losing a
trail, they will use their sensitivity to psychic impressions.
This ability allows a cilops to detect the psychic residue
of its prey and to resume tracking. Its danger sense ability
generally prevents the cilops from being ambushed or
surprised by its prey
When the cilops engages in combat, it uses its antennae
to stun its opponent. The cilops can also deliver a vicious
series of bites. The cilops will concentrate its attack on
one individual until it is disabled before turning its
attention to another threat.

Cilops are relentless hunters who are prized by the
templars of all the city-states for their unique tracking
abilities. The creatures look like enormous centipedes that
reach lengths exceeding 15’. Their segmented bodies are
long and flat and form a hard exoskeleton. Their hooked
legs allow them to crawl onto virtually any surface and
to scale walls with ease. Their oval heads have a large
single compound eye and three pairs of pincerlike jaws.
Two prehensile antennae grow from either side of the jaws
and reach lengths of 3’ to 5’. Cilops have a protective
coloration that reflects their native terrain. The cilops of
the salt flats often display a chalky blue-white to steel gray
color while the cilops of the rocky badlands vary from rust
orange to dark brown.
