Amygdala

==Summary==
 is a monstrous entity with a spider-like body, a short tail and a head which is is very similar to a part of the brain called the Amygdaloid, with many bulbous eyes that bulge when it uses its arcane attack. It has six-fingered hands on its eight arms, and reptilian talons on its two legs.
Amygdala appears to be one of the most revered Great Ones as numerous statues of it can be found in the Cathedral Ward and Yahar'gul, Unseen Village. A much larger statue that appears to be part of a shrine is located in the Church of the Hypogean Gaol.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*Frenzy: A status effect that is the result of a target being forced to process information incomprehensible to humans, such as information about the Great Ones, Eldritch Truth, or Cosmos. This effect is a twofold form of damage, as when this occurs to a living being they will rapidly devolve into utter madness mentally, while physically their blood will begin to violently erupt out of various random points on their body as spears of solidified Frenzied Coldblood.
**Blue Light: Amygdala grabs the opponent and forces them to interact face to face with it while exuding a pale blue light from its head. The result of this is Frenzy.
*Pinpoint Lasers: Amygdala fires multiple small bursts of light in a frontal cone-shaped area. Each crates a delayed explosion after landing.
*Straight Laser: Sweeps a long-range laser forward, then backward in a straight line. A series of explosions follow the laser's path.
*Oscillating Laser: Sweeps a laser forward in a zigzag pattern, followed by a series of explosions along the same path one second later.
*Acid Pool: Excretes a pool of acid onto the ground below its head; quickstep away in any direction.
*Large Acid Pool: Excretes a large amount of acid from its head and shakes it to either side; quickstep backward.
*Stomp: Tries to step on the enemy for heavy damage.
*Low Arm Swing Combo: Sweeps the ground in front of it with one of its front-most arms. If the enemy is close enough, Amygdala will follow up with a 2nd sweep from the same direction, followed by a palm smash.
*Flailing Combo: Smashes and claws wildly at the ground beneath it.
*Forward Palm Thrust: Lurches upwards, then does a right palm thrust followed by a left, with both attacks reaching close to the ground. Followed by a multi-arm smash targeting the perimeter of Amygdala's "underbelly".
*Arm Smash: Lifts four arms above its head before smashing them down flat in front of itself.
*Jump: Jumps high into the air before coming crashing down, damaging anyone it lands on.
*Downward Pincer Swipe: Raises all of its arms up with hands pointed downwards, then brings one pair of arms down to attack the space beneath it from opposite directions. May repeat this attack in quick succession.
*Energy Punch: Charges energy on its hands and slams the ground in front of it.
*Arm Club: Tears off two of its arms and uses them as clubs, extending the range of its melee attacks.
*Vortex Grab: Amygdala creates a swirling vortex in its hands in order to grab those that stray into its range. Amygdala can use the same vortex to amplify its physical damage as well.
