White slaad

White slaadi were a rare and powerful variety of slaad.

Description
White slaadi appeared as frightening, humanoid toads with pale skin so white that it seemed to glow when hit by even faint light.

Personality
White slaads were creatures of pure chaos, more in touch with the true principle of chaos than the common slaads, and were focused on studying an art form even more deadly than that of the macabre-obsessed death slaads, namely the manipulation of raw chaos. They also possessed a unique and uncanny understanding of time, realizing that time itself was merely an illusion that could, if briefly, be broken.

Abilities
White slaadi were immensely powerful and dangerous, more so than most other slaadi, their very blood oozing with pure chaos. The chaos they harnessed burnt through everything it touched like acid, quickly and persistently destroying it with not even spells like magic circle against chaos being able to fully protect from the degradation. They could infect others with it by biting them, spew gobs of chaos at enemies up to away, and even their mere touch could transfer the substance. The destructive slaads could break things with incredible ease and their attacks had a tendency to stun and daze those they struck.

They were also reported to have the ability to split themselves into temporal duplicates, weaker copies of themselves pulled from the past and future into the present with the same goals. They could only manifest a limited number of replicas at once, typically six, and once all were defeated the original would suddenly appear within a few feet of the last defeated clone.

Otherwise, white slaads possessed many of the same powers as the death slaadi, with similar, yet more ruinous, spell-like abilities, the ability to take on a humanoid form and the power to summon other slaads, namely gray or death slaads.

Combat
White slaads occasionally trained to be fighters, sometimes wielding enchanted weapons but only if they were on par with their natural powers. They often charged directly into combat trying to daze opponents and splitting into copies when pressured.

Ecology
White slaadi were native to the plane of Limbo. When a death slaad survived for more than a century, they retreated into isolation for at least a year. The death slaad would return after transforming into a white slaad.

White slaadi who survived for more than a century were capable of transforming into a black slaad through a similar process.
