In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the adherer (/ædˈhɪərər/ [[Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key|ad-TEMPLATE:SMALLCAPS-ər]][1]) is a type of humanoid creature.
Publication history[edit]
The creature first appeared as the gluey in White Dwarf #7 (June/July 1978). The adherer then appeared in the original first edition Fiend Folio (1981).[2]
The adherer appeared in the second edition Fiend Folio Monstrous Compendium supplement (1992).[3]
Description[edit]
While the adherer is described as having a mummy-like appearance, it is not technically undead. Instead it is a humanoid covered with loose folds of white skin that is said to secrete an adhesive substance which causes weapons employed against it to be reduced in effectiveness and to stick to its body.
Other publishers[edit]
The adherer appeared in the Tome of Horrors (2002) from Necromancer Games.[4] It was also updated for both Pathfinder[5] and the Swords & Wizardry[6] games. An expanded entry for Adherer also appears in Castles & Crusades Classic Monsters the Manual.[7]
The adherer appeared in Paizo Publishing's book Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 3 (2011), on page 8.[8] The adherer is also fully detailed in Paizo's Misfit Monsters Redeemed (2010), on pages 4–9.[9]
