__NOTOC__
A '''murky soul siphon''' can be found in the Scatter in the Rift. This is an undead entity subsisting upon the souls of the living. Classified as a semi, it uses various debuff spells to set up its foes for easier consumption. Its attacks have a chance to drain spirit and they also make use of a maneuver-based grasp to suck spirit from characters.

Though it has a vaguely humanoid shape, the soul siphon is unlike anything that inhabits the walking world -- rather, it resembles something that escaped from the fevered nightmares of the deranged. Completely hairless, its skin is a dirty pink hue, blemished with ruddy patches. Where its face should be, there is nothing more than a sunken cavern, as if a stone giant's fist made an impression in the creature's head, crushing all of its features and leaving nothing but a gaping black void. Its arms are elongated, and instead of hands, it has scythe-shaped blades of bone and flesh. Its legs seem to be twisted, causing it to walk with an awkward gait.

==Hunting strategies==
Upon a successful attack, the murky soul siphon has a subsequent CS maneuver that attempts to immobilize and drain spirit from the victim. This maneuver may be blocked by a shield. An example of this maneuver:
<div {{log|margin-right=350px}}>
The shadows of a murky soul siphon's face briefly resolve into a gaping maw filled with concentric rows of teeth that attempt to close on you!<br>
 AS: +476 vs DS: +296 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +68 = +272<br>
 ... and hits for 66 points of damage!<br>
 Crack to the head swells eye shut.<br>
 You are stunned for 5 rounds!<br>
 CS: +467 - TD: +356 + CvA: -8 + d100: +74 - +5 == +172<br>
 Warding failed!<br>
A silvery strand wends itself away from your body, darkening into dingy shadows as it is consumed by the gaping void in the soul siphon's face!
</div>

Other [[creature maneuver]] attack:
<div {{log|margin-right=350px}}>
A murky soul siphon scuttles at you awkwardly, slashing rapidly and violently with its bladed forearms!<br>
You are unable to predict where any of the siphon's erratic attacks will land as you take the full brunt of its bloody assault!<br>
Coming in at an awkward angle, the siphon right arm hits you!<br>
 ... 25 points of damage!<br>
 Slash strikes your right eye.<br>
 Seems there was a brain there after all.
</div>
This maneuver can be deflected by a [[shield]].

==Other information==
Murky soul siphons are extraplanar beings.

==Messaging==
<i>A murky soul siphon staggers forward, head listing to one side, and it swings its arms in wide arcs, cutting the air so that it whistles with each swipe.

A murky soul siphon scythes its bladed arms together, creating a strident grating sound.</i>
