@LizzieV: Well, you can just teleport away. Or use Greater Teleport or Plane shift on it. Otherwise, yes -- Methu doesn't have much he can do against a swarm of evil creatures either, in hindsight. Typically there's lots of stuff you can do against a summon, but not in this case given its a 'natural' outsider.<br/><br/>I was also curious if we're actually using this creature as written though, versus as intended. For example -- the fact that it 'alters form' with equipment suggests it's a creature that can generate literally anything -- including magical items, or hell, artifacts. Also whether or not that same ability also is 'polymorph', and grants abilities of the new form as well (since it has no limitations to what it can turn into, except for size).
