I think llum has the right idea. In fact I think someone with better crunch should totally restat this and we can work out an awesome monster... and then of course someone is obligated to use it.

This reminds me of Brown Jenkins.

[ooc=The Cat With Hands]
An abberation of unknown origins, the Cat With Hands is so named because firstly it's larval form looks and behaves almost exactly like a cat. The second part of it's namesake comes from the old folk tale surrounding the beast in which it steals the hands of thieves as punishment for their crimes.

The actual beast fits the tale fairly well, though its reasons are not near as noble as reprimanding crooks. Found in and around dark, wet places such as abandoned wells, cellars, and caves, the cat with hands is always on the lookout for new prey to harvest from. Finding a potential victim they lure them with meowing, and if still appearing as a cat, with their looks. Regardless of how they lure them, once they are within range, the cat with hands pounces upon the victim and absorbs one of their body parts as its own. Whether it be their hands, their face, or anything else, the cat takes on that part's appearance and their prey finds themselves without that part. In the end the cat will devour it's now disabled prey. Some say it finds great pleasure in the terror of its helpless meal in these last moments.

Notes:
- Starts out with the exact same stats as a house cat, except that it gets the absorb ability.
- On a successful grapple the cat attempts to absorb a feature of its foe. The opponent may make a will save to resist.
- There are 6 parts that can be absorbed, each individual one causing an impairment to the opponent and giving the cat with hands an additional hit die.
Eyes: Blindness
Tongue: Silenced
Left/Right Hand: Cannot cast spells or hold items with that hand
Left/Right Foot: Slowed to 1/2 ground movement speed
- For each part absorbed the cat with hands loses 1 charisma. After it has absorbed 3 parts, each part beyond the third causes the cat to gain 3 charisma.
- After it has absorbed 1 of each part it takes on the appearance of a human and attempts to find a mate. As the cat with eyes is always male this process ends in its target dieing as the next generation of its spawn bursts from their mother's belly, devouring them.
