- The voice is not an illusion and cannot be dispelled, disbelieved or seen through. It is genuinely that person's voice, and the kushtaka got it honestly.

- Quick 3 / Tough 2 / Mind 1
You hear a child crying from the shoreline, or a woman calling your name from the trees, and it is your name, and it is her voice. The kushtaka takes the drowning and the lost, and it does not eat them - it changes them, into more kushtaka, which is why there are so many and why some of them sound like people you buried. Copper turns them. So do dogs. Nobody on that coast travels without one or the other.
Special Attack
In a Voice You Know: 100 ft, no line of sight, it calls in the voice of someone the target loves. Save Wis Mind, fail save roll 2d6+3 psychic and the target moves toward the sound, into water or timber, cooldown 2 rounds. Otter Claws: slashing, melee 5 ft, +4 to hit, 2d6+3, and a second set, 2d6+3.
Special Defense
Copper and Dogs: any copper object brandished at one, or any dog present and barking, drives it back 30 ft and prevents it using In a Voice You Know that round. Both are common, cheap and known to every local. Takes, Does Not Kill: a creature it drops to 0 HP is not dead. It is taken. The party has some days to get them back and nobody will be able to tell them exactly how long.
