| (Explicitly classifying pennaggolans as an exotic variety of vampire is technically a Ravenloft-specific thing, but I doubt anyone will see it as a stretch.)

| Characters with ranks in [[Knowledge (religion)]] can learn more about a creature’s pennaggolan nature. Characters need to make a separate Knowledge check to learn about the base creature. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

| 17 This grotesque floating head trailing a mass of bloody internal organs is a pennaggolan, a [[vampire|vampiric undead]] creature that feeds on the [[blood]] of the living. This result reveals all [[undead]] traits. Pennaggolans speak the [[languages]] they knew in [[life]].
| |
| | |
| 22 Pennaggolans attack by wrapping their glistening entrails around a victim’s throat. The pennaggolan drains blood with its bite as it strangles its victim. Victims who die from a pennaggolan’s blood drain and are allowed to remain unburied for three days rise as new pennaggolans themselves.

| 27 A pennaggolan can [[dominate]] the weak-minded simply by looking into their eyes. Pennaggolans are tough and quickly recover from most wounds, but magic weapons can pierce their supernatural defenses. A pennaggolan can [[imposter|pose]] as the mortal it was in life by stuffing its entrails back into its [[body]]. While so disguised, a pennaggolan cannot be turned and its malignant spirit is hidden from magical [[scrying]].
| |
| | |
| 32 A pennaggolan is resistant to [[cold]], [[electricity]], and [[turning]]. Pennaggolans typically pose as [[mortal|mortals]] by day, but when the [[sunset|sun sets]], their heads and entrails tear free to feed upon the living. The creature’s entrails bloat once exposed to the open air, so a pennaggolan must soak its entrails in [[vinegar]] to fit them back into its body. While a bodiless pennaggolan roams free, its hollow, unattended body lies helpless. Unlike other vampires, a pennaggolan is mystically bound to its body rather than to a [[grave]]. If a pennaggolan’s body is destroyed while its head roams, the pennaggolan wastes away and is permanently destroyed within a few days.

| 37 Many different strains of [[vampirism]] exist — this is simply one of the most hideous.
