Description
An Aeorian absorber is a quadrupedal panther-like creature the size of a horse. It has heavy claws and canine teeth proportionately longer than that of a cat, but too small to be considered saber teeth. The most distinctive feature of an Aeorian absorber is the long red tail that also serves as an eye stalk for a lidless red eye at its end. It has a weirdly colorful patterned body with elements of maroon and teal.

When the absorber takes damage from a spell, it takes only half the damage. The other half is reflected back at the caster unless they succeed on a dexterity saving throw. It is immune to necrotic and radiant damage.

Appearances
The Mighty Nein found an absorber intact within its containment tube within the ruins of A2 on Foren in Eiselcross. Later, they battled a pair of absorbers within the ruins of Aeor, along with a reverser.
