On a success, the nihileth drops to 1 hit point instead. Dual State A nihileth exists upon the Material Plane in one of two forms and can switch between them at will. In its material form, it has resistance to damage from nonmagical weapons. In its ethereal form, it is immune to damage from nonmagical weapons. The creature's ethereal form appears as a dark purple outline of its material form, with a blackish-purple haze within. A nihileth in ethereal form can move through air as though it were water, with a fly speed of 40 feet. Void Aura The undead nihileth is surrounded by a chilling cloud. A living creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of a nihileth must make a successful DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be slowed until the start of its next turn. In addition, any creature that has been diseased by a nihileth or a nihilethic zombie takes 7 (2d6) cold damage every time it starts its turn within the aura. Infecting Telepathy If a creature communicates telepathically with the nihileth, or uses a psychic attack against it, the nihileth can spread its disease to the creature. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom save or become infected with the same disease caused by the nihileth's tentacle attack. Nihileth 's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the nihileth can take a lair action to create one of the magical effects as per an aboleth, or the void absorbance action listed below. The nihileth cannot use the same effect two rounds in a row. - Void Absorbance: A nihileth can pull the life force from those it has converted to nihilethic zombies to replenish its own life. This takes 18 (6d6) hit points from zombies within 30 feet of the nihileth, spread evenly between the zombies, and healing the nihileth. If a zombie reaches 0 hit points from this action, it perishes with no Undead Fortitude saving throw. Regional Effects The regional effects of a nihileth’s lair are the same as that of an aboleth, except as following. - Water sources within 1 mile of a nihileth’s lair are not only supernaturally fouled but can spread the disease of the nihileth. A creature who drinks from such water must make a successful DC 14 Constitution check or become infected. Multiattack The nihileth makes three tentacle attacks or three withering touches, depending on what form it is in. Tentacle (Material Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target creature is hit, it must make a successful DC 14 Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The disease has no effect for 1 minute; during that time, it can be removed by lesser restoration or comparable magic. After 1 minute, the diseased creature's skin becomes translucent and slimy. The creature cannot regain hit points unless it is entirely underwater, and the disease can only be removed by heal or comparable magic. Unless the creature is fully submerged or frequently doused with water, it takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes. If a creature dies while diseased, it rises in 1d6 rounds as a nihilethic zombie. This zombie is permanently dominated by the nihileth.

The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the nihileth until the nihileth dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target. The charmed target is under the nihileth's control and can't take reactions, and the nihileth and the target can communicate telepathically with each other over any distance. Whenever the charmed target takes damage, the target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also repeat the saving throw when it is at least 1 mile away from the nihileth. Void Body The nihileth can reduce the damage it takes from a single source to 0. Radiant damage can only be reduced by half. A nihileth can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The nihileth regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Detect The aboleth makes a Wisdom (Perception) check. Tail Swipe The aboleth makes one tail attack. Psychic Drain (Costs 2 Actions) One creature charmed by the aboleth takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage, and the aboleth regains hit points equal to the damage the creature takes. The nihileth cannot use the same effect two rounds in a row. A nihileth can pull the life force from those it has converted to nihilethic zombies to replenish its own life. This takes 18 (6d6) hit points from zombies within 30 feet of the nihileth, spread evenly between the zombies, and healing the nihileth. If a zombie reaches 0 hit points from this action, it perishes with no Undead Fortitude saving throw. The regional effects of a nihileth's lair are the same as that of an aboleth, except as following Water sources within 1 mile of a nihileth's lair are not only supernaturally fouled but can spread the disease of the nihileth A creature who drinks from such water must make a successful DC 14 Constitution check or become infected.

Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage and the target must make a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become diseased.

The creature cannot regain hit points unless it is at least partially underwater, and the disease can only be removed by heal or comparable magic. Unless the creature is either fully submerged or frequently doused with water, it takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes.

Void Body The nihilethic zombie can reduce the damage it takes from a single source by 1d12 points. This reduction cannot be applied to radiant damage.

On a failed saving throw, the creature has its pain threshold lowered, so that it becomes vulnerable to all damage types until the end of its next turn.

A creature that averts its eyes can't see the angatra for one full round, when it chooses anew whether to avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the angatra in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. Ancestral Wrath The angatra immediately recognizes any individual that is descended from its tribe.

Damage taken by one is split evenly between both, with the original target of the attack taking the extra point when damage doesn't divide evenly. Any other baneful effect, such as ability damage, affects both equally. Innate Spellcasting The angel's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: guidance, light, purify food and drink, spare the dying 3/day: cure wounds, scorching ray (5 rays) 1/day: bless, daylight, detect evil and good, enhance ability, hallow, protection from evil and good Magic Resistance The angel has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. After using this trait in sand terrain, the anubian can Hide as part of this movement even if under direct observation. Anubians can sand step under doors or through similar obstacles, provided there's a gap large enough for sand to sift through. Vulnerability to Water For every 5 feet the anubian moves while touching water or for every gallon of water splashed on it, it takes 2 (1d4) cold damage.

Each creature in that area takes 21 (5d8) fire damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. Ichorous Infusions Behtu war parties carry 1d6 vials of ichorous infusions. They often ingest an infusion before an ambush. For the next 2d6 rounds, the behtus gain a +4 bonus to their Strength and Constitution scores and quadruple their base speed (including their climb speed). Behtus also take a -4 penalty to their Intelligence and Wisdom scores for the duration of the infusion. A non-behtu character who ingests a behtu infusion becomes poisoned and takes 10 (3d6) poison damage; a successful DC 14 Constitution saving throw against poison reduces damage to half and negates the poisoned condition.

If the save succeeds, the target also becomes immune to further exhaustion from beli arrows for 24 hours (but any levels of exhaustion already gained remain in effect). A character who gains a sixth level of exhaustion doesn't die automatically but drops to 0 hit points and must make death saving throws as normal. The exhaustion lasts until the target recovers fully from the cold damage.

If the blemmyes takes 20 damage or more during a single turn from a creature inside it, the blemmyes must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the swallowed creature, which falls prone in a space within 5 feet of the blemmyes. The blemmyes can have only one target swallowed at a time.

While in vortex form, the boloti can enter another creature's space and stop there in vortex form. In this liquid form, the boloti still takes normal damage from weapons and magic. A creature in the same space as the boloti at the start of the creature's turn takes 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage unless it makes a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. If the creature is Medium or smaller, a failed saving throw also means it is grappled (escape DC 11).

At 0 hp, a few surviving sets of bones scatter, and must spend months to create a new collective. Innate Spellcasting The bone collective's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: chill touch 3/day: animate dead (up to 5 skeletons or zombies) Swarm A bone collective can act as a swarm (composed of smaller elements), or it can grant a single member (called an exarch) control, acting as a singular creature. Changing between forms takes one action. In its singular form, the collective can't occupy the same space as another creature, but it can perform sneak attacks and cast spells. In swarm form, the bone collective can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and it can move through openings at least 1 foot square. It can't change to singular form while it occupies the same space as another creature. It uses its skills normally in either form. Multiattack The bone collective makes two claw attacks, or one claw and one bite attack, or one swarm attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Swarm|8|8d12+5 Wyrmblood Venom (Injury) Bone collectives create a reddish liquid, which they smear on their fangs. The freakish red mouths on the tiny skeletons are disturbing, and the toxin is deadly. A bitten creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned and take 1d6 Charisma damage. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw every four hours, taking another 1d6 Charisma damage for each failure, until it has made two consecutive successful saves or survived for 24 hours. If the creature survives, the effect ends and the creature can heal normally. Lost Charisma can be regained with a lesser restoration spell or comparable magic.

Claw|4|2d6+2 White Ghost Shivers A living creature that is injured by or makes physical contact with a creature carrying the white ghost shivers must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw at the end of the encounter to avoid becoming infected. This disease manifests after 24 hours, beginning as a mild chill, but increasingly severe after a day, accompanied by a fever. Hallucinations are common, and the fright they induce lends the disease its name. At onset, the infected creature gains two levels of exhaustion that cannot be removed until the disease is cured by lesser restoration, comparable magic, or rest. The infected creature makes another DC 11 Constitution saving throw at the end of each long rest; a successful save removes one level of exhaustion. If the saving throw fails, the disease persists. If both levels of exhaustion are removed by successful saving throws, the victim has recovered naturally.

The target is knocked 20 feet back and must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. The target's shadow stays in the space the target was originally in, and acts as an undead shadow under the command of the psoglav demon. If the creature hit with the shadow stealing ray flees the encounter, it is without a natural shadow for 1d12 days before the undead shadow fades and the creature's natural shadow returns. The undead shadow steals the body of its creature of origin if that creature is killed during the encounter; in that case, the creature's alignment shifts to evil and it falls under the command of the psoglav. The original creature regains its natural shadow immediately if the undead shadow is slain. A creature can only have its shadow stolen by the shadow stealing ray once per day, even if hit by the rays of two different psoglav demons, but it can be knocked back by it every time it is hit.

Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (2d10 + 9) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) fire damage. Bite|17|2d10+9 Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (2d10 + 9) slashing damage.

Each creature in that cone takes 21 (6d6) fire damage plus 21 (6d6) acid damage, or half damage with a successful DC 24 Dexterity saving throw. Immolating Corona Mechuiti's fiery crown explodes into a burst of yellow-green flames. All creatures within 30 feet of Mechuiti take 10 (3d6) fire damage plus 10 (3d6) acid damage, or half damage with a successful DC 24 Dexterity saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the creature also catches fire and takes 3 (1d6) fire damage at the start of each of its turns while on fire. A creature can use an action to extinguish a fire on itself or on another creature within 5 feet. Frightful Presence Each creature of Mechuiti's choice that is within 120 feet of Mechuiti and aware of it must succeed on a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Mechuiti's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Mechuiti can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Mechuiti regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Move Mechuiti moves up to half its speed, using any move it wishes.

Qorgeth, Demon Lord Of The Devouring Worm G fiend (demon),tome of Beasts chaotic evil 21 (natural armor) 370 (20d20+160) 50 ft., burrow 50 ft., climb 30 ft. 29 6 26 9 19 18 Dex +5, Con +15, Wis +11, Cha +11 Perception +11 cold, fire, lightning poison; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons blinded, charmed, exhaustion, frightened, poisoned blindsight 120 ft., tremorsense 120 ft. 21 all, telepathy 120 ft. 23 Innate Spellcasting Qorgeth's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material or somatic components. At will: detect magic, black tentacles 3/day each: dispel magic, fear, insect plague (biting worms) 1/day each: earthquake, teleport Legendary Resistance (3/Day) If Qorgeth fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Tunneler Qorgeth can burrow through solid stone at its full speed. It leaves a 15-foot-diameter tunnel in its wake. Magic Resistance Qorgeth has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons Qorgeth's weapon attacks are magical. Qorgeth's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Qorgeth takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Qorgeth can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - Until initiative count 20 on the following round, Qorgeth twists space through the tunnels of its lair. Any creature other than a demon that tries to move must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or move half its speed in a random direction before getting its bearings; it can then finish moving as it wants. - A section of ceiling in the lair collapses, raining debris onto a 20-foot-radius area. Each creature in the area must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 18 (4d8) bludgeoning damage and be restrained until the end of its next turn. - Thick tangles of demonic worms erupt in the space of up to three creatures Qorgeth can see within 60 feet. Each targeted creature is attacked once by the worms (Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target; Hit: 14 (4d6) piercing). Regional Effects The region containing Qorgeth’s lair is warped by the demon lord’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Tunnels within 5 miles of the lair attract all manner of worms and vermin, including purple worms. These creatures are ravenous and violent. - Within 1 mile of the lair, food rots and spontaneously erupts with maggots. One day worth of food carried by creatures spoils every 24 hours it remains in the area. It is impossible to forage for food in this area. - Dead bodies within 1 mile of the lair decay quickly. Any corpse is reduced to bones in 24 hours. Magic that prevents decay staves off this decomposition normally. Anointing the body with holy water prevents decomposition for one day but no longer. If Qorgeth dies, conditions in the area surrounding the lair return to normal over the course of 1d10 days. Multiattack Qorgeth makes one bite attack, two crush attacks, and one stinger attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (2d12 + 9) piercing damage. A target creature of Large size or smaller must succeed on a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by Qorgeth. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, and takes 16 (3d10) necrotic damage at the start of each of Qorgeth's turns. Qorgeth can have any number of creatures swallowed at one time. If Qorgeth takes 50 damage or more in a single turn from a creature it has swallowed, it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, who land prone within 10 feet of Qorgeth. If Qorgeth dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained, and can escape the corpse by spending 30 feet of movement, exiting prone. Bite|16|2d12+9 Crush Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (2d10 + 9) bludgeoning damage. A target creature is also grappled and restrained (escape DC 19) until Qorgeth moves. Qorgeth can grapple up to two creatures at once; at least one of Qorgeth's crush attacks must be directed against each creature it has grappled. Crush|16|2d10+9 Stinger Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d6 + 9) piercing damage, and the target takes 33 (6d10) poison damage and is poisoned for 1 hour; a successful DC 23 Constitution saving throw reduces poison damage by half and negates the poisoned condition. A creature that fails the save by 10 or more is also paralyzed for as long as the poisoned condition lasts. Stinger|16|4d6+9 Qorgeth can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Qorgeth regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Shriek All creatures within a 60-foot cone that can hear Qorgeth must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Death Roll (2 actions) Qorgeth moves half its speed and makes one Crush attack. Any structures or objects in spaces Qorgeth moves through take double Crush damage automatically. Devour (3 actions) Qorgeth makes one bite attack. Derro Fetal Savant T humanoid,tome of Beasts chaotic evil 15 (cage) 2 (4d4-8) 5 ft. (0 in cage) 1 1 6 6 12 20 Wis +3, Cha +7 Perception +3 psychic charmed, frightened darkvision 60 ft. 13 - 4 Enchanted Cage The iron cage that holds the fetal savant provides cover for the creature. The cage (AC 19, 10 hp) is considered an equipped object when borne by a derro and cannot be attacked directly. In addition, the cage protects the occupant from up to 20 spell levels of spells 4th level or lower but provides no protection to those outside of the cage. Spells of level 5 or higher take full, normal effect against the cage and its occupant. Once the cage protects against 20 or more spell levels it is rendered non-magical. If exposed to direct sunlight for over one hour of cumulative time it is destroyed. Madness A derro fetal savant's particular madness grants it immunity to psychic effects. It cannot be restored to sanity by any means short of a wish spell or comparable magic. A derro fetal savant brought to sanity gains 4 points of Wisdom and loses 6 points of Charisma. Vulnerability to Sunlight A derro fetal savant takes 1 point of Constitution damage for every hour it is exposed to sunlight, and it dies if its Constitution score reaches 0. Lost Constitution points are recovered at the rate of 1/day spent underground or otherwise sheltered from the sun. Babble The sight of potential host bodies so excites the fetal savant that it babbles and giggles madly and childishly, creating an insanity effect. All sane creatures that start their turns within 60 feet of the fetal savant must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be affected by confusion (as the spell) for 1d4 rounds. This is a psychic effect. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same fetal savant's babbling for 24 hours. This action cannot be taken when the fetal savant is using Soul Exchange. Soul Exchange As an action, the fetal savant can attempt to take control of a creature it can see within 90 feet, forcing an exchange of souls as a magic jar spell, using its own body as the container. The fetal savant can use this power at will, but it can exchange souls with only one other creature at a time. The victim resists the attack with a successful DC 13 Charisma saving throw. A creature that successfully saves is immune to the same fetal savant's soul exchange for 24 hours. If the saving throw fails, the fetal savant takes control of the target's body and ferociously attacks nearby opponents, eyes blazing with otherworldly light. As an action, the fetal savant can shift from its host body back to its own, if it is within range, returning the victim's soul to its own body. If the host body or fetal savant is brought to 0 hit points within 90 feet of each other, the two souls return to their original bodies and the creature at 0 hit points is dying; it must make death saving throws until it dies, stabilizes, or regains hit points, as usual. If the host body or fetal savant is slain while they are more than 90 feet apart, their souls cannot return to their bodies and they are both slain. While trapped in the fetal savant's withered body, the victim is effectively paralyzed and helpless. Derro Shadow Antipaladin S humanoid (derro),tome of Beasts chaotic evil 18 (breastplate and shield) 82 (11d6+44) 30 ft. 11 18 18 11 5 14 Str +3, Wis +0, Cha +5 Perception +0, Stealth +7 darkvision 120 ft. 10 Derro, Undercommon 5 Evasive Against effects that allow a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, the derro takes no damage on a successful save, and only half damage on a failed one. Insanity The derro has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Magic Resistance The derro has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Shadowstrike The derro's weapon attacks deal 9 (2d8) necrotic damage (included in its Actions list). Spellcasting The derro is a 5th level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The derro has the following paladin spells prepared: 1st level (4 slots): hellish rebuke, inflict wounds, shield of faith, wrathful smite 2nd level (2 slots): aid, crown of madness, darkness, magic weapon Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the derro shadow antipaladin has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Multiattack The derro makes two scimitar attacks or two heavy crossbow attacks. Scimitar Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) necrotic damage. Scimitar|7|1d6+4 Heavy Crossbow Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target, Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) necrotic damage. Heavy Crossbow|7|1d10+4 Infectious Insanity (Recharge 5-6) The derro chooses a creature it can see within 30 feet and magically assaults its mind. The creature must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be affected as if by a confusion spell for 1 minute. An affected creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Arbeyach L fiend (devil),tome of Beasts lawful evil 17 (natural armor) 275 (22d10+154) 40 ft., burrow 20 ft., climb 40 ft., fly 80 ft.

Magic Resistance Arbeyach has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons Arbeyach's weapon attacks are magical. Innate Spellcasting Arbeyach's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 22, +14 to hit with spell attacks). Arbeyach can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: poison spray 3/day each: fog cloud, stinking cloud 1/day each: cloudkill, contagion, insect plague Fear Aura Any creature hostile to Arbeyach that starts its turn within 20 feet of it must make a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw, unless Arbeyach is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to Arbeyach's Fear Aura for the next 24 hours. Aura of Virulence Creatures that would normally be resistant or immune to poison damage or the poisoned condition lose their resistance or immunity while within 120 feet of Arbeyach. All other creatures within 120 feet of Arbeyach have disadvantage on saving throws against effects that cause poison damage or the poisoned condition. Swarm Prince Arbeyach can communicate with spawns of Arbeyach and all vermin and insects, including swarms and giant varieties, within 120 feet via pheromone transmission. In a hive, this range extends to cover the entire hive. This is a silent and instantaneous mode of communication that only Arbeyach, spawn of Arbeyach, insects, and vermin can understand. All these creatures follow Arbeyach's orders and will never harm the devil. Multiattack Arbeyach makes one bite attack and two claw attacks. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with Arbeyach rot. The cursed target is poisoned, can't regain hit points, its hit point maximum decreases by 13 (3d8) for every 24 hours that elapse, and vermin attack the creature on sight. If the curse reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies and immediately transforms into a randomly chosen swarm of insects. The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or comparable magic. Bite|13|2d8+6 Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage. Claw|13|1d8+6 Vermin Breath (Recharge 5-6) Arbeyach exhales vermin in a 120-foot line that's 10 feet wide. Each creature in the line takes 54 (12d8) poison damage, or half damage with a successful DC 22 Dexterity saving throw. Each creature that fails this saving throw must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with Arbeyach rot (see the Bite attack). In addition, Arbeyach summons a swarm of insects (of any type) at any point of the line. The swarm remains until destroyed, until Arbeyach dismisses it as a bonus action, or for 2 minutes. No more than five swarms of insects can be summoned at the same time. Arbeyach can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Arbeyach regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Move Arbeyach moves up to half its speed, using any movement mode it wishes. Poison Arbeyach targets a creature within 120 feet. If the target isn't poisoned, it must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned. The poisoned target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Spell (Costs 2 Actions) Arbeyach casts a spell. Spawn Of Arbeyach M fiend (devil),tome of Beasts lawful evil 17 (natural armor) 78 (12d8+24) 40 ft., climb 20 ft. 18 15 15 10 13 12 Wis +4 Perception +4, Stealth +5 poison poisoned darkvision 60 ft., tremorsense 60 ft. 14 Infernal 5 Hive Mind Spawn of Arbeyach share a bond with other members of their hive that enhances their hive mates' perception. As long as a spawn is within 60 feet of at least one hive mate, it has advantage on initiative rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks. If one spawn is aware of a particular danger, all others in the hive are, too. No spawn in a hive mind is surprised at the beginning of an encounter unless all of them are. Innate Spellcasting The spawn of Arbeyach's spellcasting ability is Charisma. The Spawn of Arbeyach can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 1/day: conjure animals (only swarms of insects) Scent Communication. Spawn of Arbeyach can communicate with each other and all swarms of insects within 60 feet via pheromone transmission. In a hive, this range extends to cover the entire hive. This is a silent and instantaneous mode of communication that only Arbeyach, spawn of Arbeyach, and swarms of insects can understand. As a bonus action, the spawn of Arbeyach can use this trait to control and give orders to one swarm of insects within 60 feet. Multiattack A Spawn of Arbeyach makes one bite attack and two stinger attacks. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) poison damage. Bite|7|2d6+4 Stinger Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Stinger|7|1d6+4 Ia'affrat L swarm of Tiny elementals,tome of Beasts lawful evil 17 (natural armor) 170 (20d10+60) 5 ft., fly 40 ft.

Ia'Affrat can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: fire bolt, poison spray 3/day each: burning hands, invisibility, ray of enfeeblement, ray of sickness 1/day each: bestow curse, contagion, harm, insect plague, fireball Inhabit Ia'Affrat can enter the body of an incapacitated or dead creature by crawling into its mouth and other orifices. Inhabiting requires 1 minute, and the victim must be Small, Medium, or Large. If Ia'Affrat inhabits a dead body, it can animate it and control its movements, effectively becoming a zombie for as long as it remains inside. Ia'Affrat can abandon the body as an action. Attacks against the host deal half damage to Ia'Affrat as well, but Ia'Affrat's resistances and immunities still apply against this damage. In a living victim, Ia'Affrat can control the victim's movement and actions as if using dominate monster (save DC 19) on the victim. Ia'Affrat can consume a living victim; the target takes 5 (2d4) necrotic damage per hour while Ia'Affrat inhabits its body, and Ia'Affrat regains hit points equal to the damage dealt. When inhabiting a body, Ia'Affrat can choose to have any spell it casts with a range of self, target the inhabited body rather than itself. The skin of a creature inhabited by Ia'Affrat crawls with the forms of the insects inside. Ia'Affrat can hide this telltale sign with a Charisma (Deception) check against a viewer's passive Insight. A greater restoration spell or comparable magic forces Ia'Affrat to abandon the host. Smoke Shroud Ia'Affrat is shrouded in a 5-foot-radius cloud of dark smoke. This area is lightly obscured to creatures other than Ia'Affrat. Any creature that needs to breathe that begins its turn in the area must make a successful DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its turn. Bites Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. Hit: 21 (6d6) piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage plus 14 (4d6) poison damage, or 10 (3d6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage if Ia'Affrat has half of its hit points or fewer. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Bites|10|6d6 Smoke Jump Ia'Affrat can travel instantly to a space in sight where there's smoke. Whirlwind (Recharge 4-6) Each creature in Ia'Affrat's space must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. Each creature that fails takes 28 (8d6) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage plus 14 (4d6) poison damage and is flung up 20 feet away from Ia'Affrat in a random direction and knocked prone. If the saving throw is successful, the target takes half the bludgeoning damage and isn't flung away or knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes an object, such as a wall or floor, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it traveled. If the target collides with another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.

Magic Resistance Mammon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons Mammon's weapon attacks are magical. Mammon's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Mammon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Mammon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - Mammon infuses a pile of treasure in his lair with life. It becomes an earth elemental made of precious metals and gems. The elemental acts immediately and lasts until destroyed or until Mammon uses this action again. - Stacked piles of treasure shift and slide, collapsing onto a creature Mammon can see. The creature is restrained until initiative count 20 on the following round, or until it or an adjacent ally uses an action to make a successful DC 18 Strength check to free it. - Mammon magically teleports from one area of treasure to another within 150 feet. Regional Effects The region containing Mammon’s lair is warped by the archdevil’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Treasure in the possession of creatures other than Mammon turns to worthless materials such as lead, wood, or gravel, after spending 24 hours within 1 mile of the lair. The resulting junk resumes its valuable form when Mammon claims it, or by means of a wish spell or comparable magic. - Creatures that spend more than 1 hour within 1 mile of Mammon’s lair become obsessed with gaining the most generous payment or portion of wealth in any dealing unless they succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. A creature that saves successfully is immune to this effect for 24 hours. The effect can be removed by a greater restoration spell or comparable magic. - Any naturally occurring treasure in Mammon’s home plane reverts to worthless junk if removed from the plane. Similarly, any mundane item left behind transforms into something fantastically valuable, as long as it remains on the plane. If Mammon dies, conditions in the area surrounding the lair return to normal over the course of 1d10 days. Multiattack Mammon makes three attacks. Purse Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) radiant damage Purse|14|7d8+6 Molten Coins Ranged Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, range 40/120 ft., one target.

Molten Coins|14|3d6+6 Your Weight In Gold (Recharge 5-6) Mammon can use this ability as a bonus action immediately after hitting a creature with his purse attack. The creature must make a DC 24 Constitution saving throw. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly petrified by being turned to solid gold. Otherwise, a creature that fails the saving throw is restrained. A restrained creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature receives a greater restoration spell or comparable magic. Mammon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Mammon regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. Attack Mammon makes one purse or molten coins attack. Make It Rain! Mammon casts gold and jewels into a 5-foot radius within 60 feet. One creature within 60 feet of the treasure that can see it must make a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature must use its reaction to move its speed toward the trinkets, which vanish at the end of the turn. Deep Pockets (3 actions) Mammon recharges his Your Weight In Gold ability. Totivillus, Scribe Of Hell M fiend (devil),tome of Beasts lawful evil 19 (natural armor) 299 (26d8+182) 40 ft., fly 60 ft. 18 18 24 26 22 18 Dex +11, Con +14, Int +15, Wis +13, Cha +11 Arcana +15, History +15, Investigation +15, Perception +13, Religion +15 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons fire, poison poisoned truesight 30 ft., darkvision 60 ft. 23 Common, Celestial, Draconic, Infernal, Void Speech; telepathy 120 ft. 24 Devil's Sight Magical darkness doesn't impede the devil's darkvision. Fear Aura Any creature hostile to Totivillus that starts its turn within 20 feet of him must make a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw, unless Totivillus is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, it is immune to the devil's Fear Aura for the next 24 hours. Spellcasting Totivillus is a 20th-level spellcaster who uses Intelligence as his spellcasting ability (spell save DC 23, +15 to hit with spell attacks).

If the text is damaged or destroyed, he is ejected from it without suffering damage. Trust Aura Totivillus projects a 25-foot-radius trust aura. As long as Totivillus is talking, creatures in that area find his utterances so fascinating and compelling that they must make a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of their turns; if the saving throw fails, they can't attack Totivillus directly until the start of their next turn. This effect ends immediately and can't be renewed for 1 minute if Totivillus attacks physically. Devils are not immune to this aura. Multiattack Totivillus makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d12 + 4) slashing damage. Claw|11|4d12+4 Hellfire Bolt (Recharge 5-6) Ranged Spell Attack: +15 to hit, range 120 ft., one target.

The target must make a successful DC 23 Dexterity saving throw or receive a devil's mark: a tattoo in the shape of Totivillus's personal seal. All devils have advantage on spell attacks made against the devil.marked creature, and the creature has disadvantage on saving throws made against spells and abilities used by devils. The mark can be removed by remove curse if the caster also makes a successful DC 23 spellcasting check. The mark reveals itself as desecrated to detect evil and good. It often shifts its position on the body, especially when it's concealed (and usually at the most inconvenient moment). Because such marks are sometimes placed on those who've made pacts with devils, NPC paladins and clerics might assume that any character bearing a devil's mark is in league with evil forces. Cast a Spell (Costs 3 Actions) Totivillus casts a spell from its list of prepared spells, using a spell slot as normal.

If the devil wins, the grappled creature is dragged into the devil's stomach maw, a mass of churning gears, razor teeth, and whirling blades.

Wormkiller Rage Wild dogmole packs are famed for their battles against monsters in the dark caverns of the world. If the dogmole draws blood against vermin, a purple worm, or other underground invertebrates, it gains a +4 boost to its Strength and Constitution, but suffers a -2 penalty to its AC. The wormkiller rage lasts for 3 rounds. It cannot end the rage voluntarily while the creatures that sent it into a rage still lives. Multiattack The dogmole makes one claw attack and one bite attack.

Ferocity (1/Day) When the dogmole juggernaut is reduced to 0 hit points, it doesn't die until the end of its next turn. Powerful Build A dogmole juggernaut is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to it (such as during grapple checks, pushing attempts, and tripping attempts, but not for the purposes of squeezing or AC). It gains advantage against magical pushing attempts such as gust of wind or Repelling Blast. Wormkiller Rage Wild dogmole juggernaut packs are famed for their battles against the monsters of the dark caverns of the world. If a dogmole juggernaut draws blood against vermin, purple worms, or other underground invertebrate, it gains a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution but suffers a -2 penalty to AC. The wormkiller rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1+ its Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round). It cannot end the rage voluntarily while the creatures that sent it into a rage still live. Multiattack The dogmole juggernaut makes one claw attack and one bite attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (1d12 + 5) piercing damage.

He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: alter self, invisibility 3/day each: darkness, dimension door, haste Multiattack The domovoi makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Running Doppelrats The hardest part of this monster is the sheer volume of attacks they generate. To model this, run them in groups of 4 for attack purposes and have those groups all use the same +5 to attack and do 1d4 damage. That way you need not roll 20 times for all of them, and you reduce the number of rolls required by a factor of 4. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage. Bite|5|1 Arcane Doubling (recharges after 10 minutes) A doppelrat under duress creates clones of itself at the beginning of its turn. Each round for 4 rounds, the number of live doppelrats quadruples but never exceeds 20. For example, when the doppelrat triggers arcane doubling, 1 rat becomes 4; at the start of the rat's next turn, those 4 become 16; and at the start of the rat's third turn, those 16 become 20, the maximum allowed. If one of the duplicates was destroyed between the original doppelrat's 1st and 2nd turns, then the surviving 3 would become 12, and so on. Each duplicate appears in the same space as any other rat, can either move or take an action the round it appears, and has 4 hit points and AC 13. Any surviving duplicates perish 1 minute (10 rounds) after the first ones were created. If the original doppelrat dies, its clones stop duplicating but the preexisting clones remain until their time expires. A creature can identify the original doppelrat from its duplicates as an action by making a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Nature) or Wisdom (Perception) check. Doppeling Disease At the end of a dopplerat encounter, every creature bitten by a doppelrat or its duplicates must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or contract the degenerate cloning disease. During each long rest, the diseased creature grows and sloughs off a stillborn clone. The doppeling process leaves the diseased creature incapacitated for 1 hour, unable to move and barely able to speak (spellcasting is impossible in this state). When the incapacitation wears off, the creature makes a DC 12 Constitution saving throw; it recovers from the disease when it makes its second successful save. Humanoid clones created by the disease cannot be brought to life in any manner. Dorreq M aberration,tome of Beasts neutral evil 15 (natural armor) 93 (17d8+17) 20 ft., climb 15 ft. 19 19 13 11 8 6 Dex +6 Intimidation +2, Perception +3, Stealth +8 acid, cold, lightning darkvision 60 ft. 13 Void Speech 4 Innate Spellcasting The dorreq's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 10). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 3/day each: blink, dimension door, haste, shatter Wasteland Stride. This ability works like tree stride, but the dorreq can use it to sink into and appear out of any sandy or rocky ground, and the range is only 30 ft. Using this ability replaces the dorreq's usual movement. Multiattack The dorreq makes two tentacle attacks and one bite attack. If both tentacle attacks hit, the target is grappled (escape DC 14). Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) piercing damage. Bite|6|4d8+4 Tentacle Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If both tentacles hit the same target in a single turn, the target is grappled (escape DC 14) and pulled within reach of the bite attack, if it was farther than 5 feet away. The target must be size Large or smaller to be pulled this way. The dorreq can maintain a grapple on one Large, two Medium, or two Small creatures at one time. Tentacle|6|1d8+4 Entanglement Any creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of a dorreq must make a successful DC 14 Dexterity saving throw each round or be restrained by the dorreq's tentacles until the start of its next turn. On its turn, the dorreq can ignore or freely release a creature in the affected area. Adult Cave Dragon H dragon,tome of Beasts neutral evil 18 (natural armor) 243 (18d12+126) 40 ft., climb 40 ft., Earth Glide 26 12 24 12 12 20 Dex +6, Con +12, Wis +6, Cha +10 Perception +10 acid, poison, thunder poisoned blindsight 120 ft. 20 Common, Darakhul, Draconic, Dwarvish, Goblin 16 Darkness Aura An adult or older cave dragon can generate an aura of darkness that fills its space and the surrounding 20 feet. This darkness prevents normal vision and darkvision from functioning. Blindsight and truesight function normally. Activating or deactivating the aura is a bonus action. Earth Glide An adult cave dragon glides through stone, dirt, or any sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish glides through water. Its burrowing produces no ripple or other sign of its presence and leaves no tunnel or hole unless the dragon chooses to do so; in that case, it creates a passageway 15 feet wide by 10 feet high. The spell move earth cast on an area containing an earth-gliding cave dragon flings the dragon back 30 feet and stuns the creature for one round unless it succeeds on a Constitution saving throw. Legendary Resistance (3/Day) If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Innate Spellcasting The dragon's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: detect magic, speak with dead 3/day each: blur, counterspell, darkness, web 1/day each: dispel magic, hold person Cave Dragon's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action for one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - The ceiling collapses above one creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature takes 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone and restrained (by fallen debris); damage is halved and the creature is not restrained if it makes a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. The creature is freed when it or an adjacent ally uses an action to make a successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check. - A ten foot-wide, ten foot-long crack opens in the cavern floor where the dragon wishes. Any creature occupying that space must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall 20 feet, taking 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (3d4) piercing damage from the jagged stones at the bottom. - The dragon summons a swarm of insects as if it had cast insect plague, filling a 20-foot radius sphere within 90 feet of the dragon. Creatures that are in the affected space or that enter it take 22 (4d10) piercing damage, or half damage with a successful DC 18 Constitution saving throw. The swarm lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Regional Effects The region containing a legendary cave dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Poisonous and odorless gases suddenly fill passages and caverns, and just as quickly disperse, within six miles of the dragon’s lair. - Flash flooding turns tunnels into death traps as tremors create fissures in the stone within six miles of the lair. On the surface, ponds drain away, and long-dry creek beds break their banks in flood. - Swarms of vermin within one mile of the lair increase in both size and number as they try to escape the dragon’s endless and undiscriminating hunger. If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days. Multiattack The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d6 + 8) plus 3 (1d6) poison damage. Bite|13|3d6+8 Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.

Tail|13|2d8+8 Frightful Presence Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6) The dragon exhales a cone of black poison gas in a 60-foot cone. Each target in that area takes 56 (16d6) poison damage and is poisoned if it is a creature; a successful DC 18 Constitution saving throw reduces damage by half and negates the poisoned condition. The poisoned condition lasts until the target takes a long or short rest or it's removed with lesser restoration or comparable magic. Ruff Spikes When a creature tries to enter a space adjacent to a cave dragon, the dragon flares its many feelers and spikes. The creature cannot enter a space adjacent to the dragon unless it makes a successful DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the creature can keep moving but only into spaces that aren't within 5 feet of the dragon and takes 10 (3d6) piercing damage from spikes. The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Detect The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check. Reset Ruff Spikes The dragon can use its ruff spikes as a reaction again before its next turn. Tail The dragon makes a tail attack. Swift Bite (Costs 2 Actions) The dragon makes two bite attacks.

The cloud spreads around corners and the area is lightly obscured. Each creature in the cloud must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A blinded creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. - The ground erupts with volcanic force at a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. Any creature within 20 feet of the point must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and trapped in the ground. A creature trapped in this way is restrained and can’t stand up. A creature can end the restraint if it or another creature takes an action to make a successful DC 15 Strength check. - A wall of fire rises up from the ground within 120 feet of the dragon.

Friendships are easily broken and criminal acts are common. - Temperatures rise within 6 miles of the lair. Crops wither, producing famines. - Sulfur geysers form in and around the dragon’s lair.

Void Dragon's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to generate one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - The dragon negates natural gravity within its lair (an area affected by its gravitic breath is unaffected). Creatures drift 10 feet away from the ground over the course of a round and are restrained. Flying creatures can move at half speed, unless they have the (hover) tag or use magical flight, in which case they move normally. This effect persists until initiative count 20 on the following round. - The Void briefly overlaps the dragon’s lair in a 20-foot-radius sphere of blackness punctuated by deep blue streaks and pinpoints of light. The sphere is centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of the dragon. The area spreads around corners, is heavily obscured, and contains no air (creatures must hold their breath). Each creature in the sphere when it appears must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) cold damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.

Space itself repels the creatures to their original positions. Each creature takes 16 (3d10) force damage and is knocked prone, or takes half as much damage and is not knocked prone with a successful DC 15 Strength saving throw.

Clues are inadvertently discovered, slips of the tongue hint at a hidden truth, and creatures become morbidly curious for forbidden knowledge. - Light is muted within 6 miles of the lair. Nonmagical illumination, including sunlight, can’t create bright light in this area. - Visitations from otherworldly beings occur and disembodied voices whisper in the night within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair. Celestials, fey, and fiends of CR 2 or lower can slip into the world in this area. If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

A creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more it is driven insane.

If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Aura of Madness for the next 24 hours.

When a creature starts its turn within the area or enters it for the first time in a turn, including when the dragon creates the field, it must make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure the creature is restrained. On a success the creature's speed is halved as long as it remains in the field. A restrained creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its turn.

After each long rest, the creature must repeat the saving throw. If it fails, the victim takes 1d3 Dexterity damage and is paralyzed for 24 hours; if the saving throw succeeds, the creature takes no damage and feels well enough to act normally for the day. This continues until the creature dies from Dexterity loss, recovers naturally by making successful saving throws after two consecutive long rests, or is cured with lesser restoration or comparable magic. After the disease ends, the victim recovers 1d3 lost Dexterity with each long rest; greater restoration or comparable magic can restore it all at once.

On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. While frightened in this way the creature must move away from the dullahan, and can only use its action to Dash. If the creature is affected by the dullahan's Deathly Doom trait, it is restrained while frightened instead.

Interposing Glare When the dullahan is hit by a melee attack it can move its severed head in front of the attacker's face. The attacker is affected by the dullahan's Baleful Glare immediately.

Since its coating of dust, sand, and gravel can't be hidden, it usually disguises itself as a terrain feature or eroded ruin. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Adhesive (Object or Terrain Form Only) The dune mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A creature adhered to the dune mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 15). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Unending Hunger An eater of dust can devour any substance with its mawblade, regardless of composition, and never get full. It can even gain nourishment from eating dust or soil (hence the name given to the race by various fiends). If an eater of dust's mawblade is ever stolen, lost, or destroyed, it slowly starves to death. Weapon Bond A mawblade is part of the eater of dust.

The hit point reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest and drinks abundant water or until it is affected by greater restoration or comparable magic.

Its spawned elementals continue fighting whatever enemies attacked the elemental locus; if no enemies are present, they defend the locus's area. Massive The elemental locus is larger than most Gargantuan creatures, occupying a space of 60 by 60 feet. Its movement is not affected by difficult terrain or by Huge or smaller creatures. Other creatures can enter and move through the elemental locus's space, but they must make a successful DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check after each 10 feet of movement.

Leadership (recharges after a Short or Long Rest) The enchantress can utter a special command or warning to a creature she can see within 30 feet of her. The creature must not be hostile to the enchantress and it must be able to hear (the command is inaudible to all but the target creature). For 1 minute, the creature adds a d4 to its attack rolls and saving throws. A creature can benefit from only one enchantress's Leadership at a time. This effect ends if the enchantress is incapacitated.

It begins existence bound to its creator, but a free emerald eye can bind itself to another creature as in the Bind action. Immutable Form The emerald eye is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. Slash Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (5d4 + 2) slashing damage. Slash|4|5d4+2 Attraction (Recharge 5-6) An emerald eye can compel one creature to move toward a particular person or object. If the creature fails a DC 13 Charisma saving throw, it feels a powerful compulsion to move toward whatever the emerald eye chooses. The target creature must be within 25 feet of the emerald eye when attraction is triggered, but the creature is then free to move beyond this range while remaining under the effect. Nothing seems out of the ordinary to the creature, but it does not knowingly put itself or its allies in harm's way to reach the object. The creature may attempt another DC 13 Charisma saving throw at the start of each of its turns; a success ends the effect. Bind (3/Day) The emerald eye can bind itself psychically to a creature with an Intelligence of 6 or greater. The attempt fails if the target succeeds on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. The attempt is unnoticed by the target, regardless of the result. Telepathic Lash (3/Day) An emerald eye can overwhelm one humanoid creature within 25 feet with emotions and impulses the creature is hard-pressed to control. If the target fails a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw, it is stunned for 1 round. Empty Cloak M construct,tome of Beasts unaligned 13 (natural armor) 45 (10d8) 0 ft., fly 40 ft. 18 14 10 10 10 1 Dex +4, Con +2 Stealth +4 fire bludgeoning poison charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 10 understands Elvish and Umbral but can't speak 1/2 Diligent Sentinel Empty cloaks are designed to watch for intruders. They gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks. Shadow Construction Empty cloaks are designed with a delicate shadow construction. They burst into pieces, then dissipate into shadow, on a critical hit. Wrapping Embrace Empty cloaks can share the same space as one Medium or smaller creature. The empty cloak has advantage on attack rolls against any creature in the same space with it. Razor Cloak Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage. Razor Cloak|6|1d8+4 Shadow Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) bludgeoning damage. Shadow Slam|6|1d4+4 Shadow Snare Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: Large or smaller creatures are restrained. To escape, the restrained creature or an adjacent ally must use an action to make a successful DC 14 Strength check. The shadow snare has 15 hit points and AC 12. Eonic Drifter M humanoid (human),tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 13 (leather armor) 65 (10d8+20) 30 ft. 9 14 14 18 11 13 Arcana +6, History +6 10 Common, Eonic, Giant, Sylvan 1 Multiattack The eonic drifter can either use Drift Backward or make two attacks with its time warping staff. The eonic drifter's future self (if present) can only use Drift Forward. Time Warping Staff Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d10 + 2) bludgeoning damage. Time Warping Staff|4|1d10+2 Drift Backward (1/Day) A future self of the eonic drifter materializes in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of the drifter. The future self has the eonic drifter's stats and its full hit points, and it takes its turn immediately after its present self. Killing the original eonic drifter makes its future self disappear. If the present self sees its future self die, the eonic drifter must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. There is no effect if the save succeeds. If the saving throw fails, roll 1d6 to determine the effect on the eonic drifter: 1 = frightened, 2 = incapacitated, 3 = paralyzed, 4 = unconscious, 5 or 6 = has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. These effects last 1d4 rounds. Drift Forward (2/Day) The future self makes a time warping staff attack against a target. If the attack hits, instead of causing bludgeoning damage, both the target and the attacker jump forward through time, effectively ceasing to exist in the present time. They reappear in the same locations 1d4 rounds later, at the end of the present self's turn. Creatures occupying those locations at that moment are pushed 5 feet in a direction of their own choosing. The target of the drift (but not the future self) must then make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw, with effects identical to those for the eonic drifter witnessing the death of its future self (see Drift Backward). The future self doesn't reappear after using this ability the second time; only the target of the drift reappears from the second use. This does not trigger a saving throw for the present self. Erina Scrounger S humanoid (erina),tome of Beasts neutral 12 (leather armor) 22 (4d6+8) 20 ft., burrow 20 ft. 9 12 14 13 10 11 poison darkvision 60 ft. 10 Common, Erina 1/4 Keen Smell The erina has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Antler Glaive Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d10 + 2) slashing damage and the target must make a successful DC 13 Strength saving throw or either be disarmed or fall prone; the attacking far darrig chooses which effect occurs. Antler Glaive|4|1d10+2 Enchanted Glaive Maneuvers A far darrig can magically extend or shrink its antler glaive as a bonus action to give it either a 10-foot or 5-foot reach. Fate Eater M aberration,tome of Beasts neutral 16 (natural armor) 182 (28d8+56) 40 ft., climb 40 ft. 18 12 14 18 16 9 Con +5 Arcana +7, History +7, Insight +6, Religion +7 charmed, unconscious truesight 60 ft. 13 telepathy 100 ft. 6 Innate Spellcasting The fate eater's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 1/day each: blink, hallucinatory terrain Visionary Flesh Eating the flesh of a fate eater requires a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. If successful, the eater gains a divination spell. If failed, the victim vomits blood and fails the next saving throw made in combat. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (5d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 11 (2d10) necrotic damage. Bite|7|5d8+4 Spectral Bite When a fate eater scores a critical hit against a target, it damages not only the creature but also the threads of its fate, changing the character's past or future. The target must roll 1d6 on the chart below for each critical hit that isn't negated by a successful DC 15 Charisma saving throw: 1- Seeing the Alternates: Suffers the effects of the confusion spell for 1d4 rounds 2- Untied from the Loom: Character’s speed is randomized for four rounds. Roll 3d20 at the start of each of the character’s turns to determine his or her speed in feet that turn 3- Shifting Memories: Permanently loses 2 from a random skill and gains 2 in a random untrained skill 4- Not So Fast: Loses the use of one class ability, chosen at random 5- Lost Potential: Loses 1 point from one randomly chosen ability score 6- Took the Lesser Path: The character’s current hit point total becomes his or her hit point maximum Effects 3-6 are permanent until the character makes a successful Charisma saving throw. The saving throw is repeated after every long rest, but the DC increases by 1 after every long rest, as the character becomes more entrenched in this new destiny. Otherwise, these new fates can be undone by nothing short of a wish spell or comparable magic. Fear Smith M fey,tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 17 (natural armor) 123 (19d8+38) 40 ft., climb 15 ft. 11 17 14 11 15 18 Wis +6 Intimidation +6, Stealth +7 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from weapons that aren't made of cold iron charmed, frightened blindsight 30 ft. 12 Common, Elvish, Sylvan 10 Distortion Gaze Those who meet the gaze of the fear smith experience the world seeming to twist at unnatural angles beneath their feet. When a creature that can see the fear smith's eye starts its turn within 30 feet of the fear smith, the creature must make a successful DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become disoriented. While disoriented, the creature falls prone each time it tries to move or take the Dash or Disengage action. To recover from disorientation, a creature must start its turn outside the fear smith's gaze and make a successful DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. To use this ability, the fear smith can't be incapacitated and must see the affected creature. A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes at the start of its turn to avoid the effect. In that case, no saving throw is necessary but the creature treats the fear smith as invisible until the start of the creature's next turn. If during its turn the creature chooses to look at the fear smith, it must immediately make the saving throw. Hidden Eye The fear smith has advantage on saving throws against the blinded condition. Innate Spellcasting The fear smith's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 16). The fear smith can innately cast the following spells, requiring no verbal or material components: At will: detect thoughts, fear 2/day each: charm person, command, confusion Magic Resistance The fear smith has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Multiattack The fear smith makes three claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 creature. Hit: 16 (2d12 + 3) slashing damage. If the target is disoriented by Distortion Gaze, this attack does an additional 13 (3d8) psychic damage and heals the fear smith by an equal amount. Claw|7|2d12+3 Heartstopping Stare The fear smith terrifies a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned for 1 round and take 13 (3d8) psychic damage and heal the fear smith by an equal amount. Fellforged M construct,tome of Beasts lawful evil 15 (natural armor) 135 (18d8+54) 30 ft. 14 12 17 12 14 15 Str +8 acid, cold, fire, lightning necrotic, poison charmed, exhaustion, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 12 any languages it knew in life 5 Expelled Spirit While the fellforged body was made to bind spirits, the wraith within is vulnerable to turning attempts. Any successful turn attempt exorcises the wraith from its clockwork frame. The expelled wraith retains its current hp total and fights normally. The construct dies without an animating spirit. Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the fellforged has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Unnatural Aura All animals, whether wild or domesticated, can sense the unnatural presence of fellforged at a distance of 30 feet. They do not willingly approach nearer than that and panic if forced to do so, and they remain panicked as long as they are within that range. Multiattack The fellforged makes two necrotic slam attacks. Necrotic Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the total damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Necrotic Slam|5|2d8+2 Violent Escapement With little regard for the clockwork bodies they inhabit, fellforged wraiths can stress and strain their mechanisms in such a violent manner that flywheels become unbalanced, gears shatter, and springs snap. As a bonus action, this violent burst of gears and pulleys deals 7 (2d6) piercing damage to all foes within 5 feet who fail a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. Each use of this ability imposes a cumulative reduction in movement of 5 feet upon the fellforged. If its speed is reduced to 0 feet, the fellforged becomes paralyzed. Fext M undead,tome of Beasts any alignment 17 (natural armor) 60 (11d8+11) 30 ft. 14 16 1 14 12 18 Dex +6, Wis +4, Cha +7 Perception +4 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage with nonmagical weapons charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 14 the languages spoken by its patron 6 Innate Spellcasting The fext's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15).

Magic Weapons The fext's weapon attacks are magical. Patron Blessing A fext is infused with a portion of their patron's power. They have an Armor Class equal to 10 + their Charisma modifier + their Dexterity modifier. Multiattack The fext makes two melee or ranged attacks. Eldritch Blade Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6+2) slashing damage plus 16 (3d10) force damage. Eldritch Blade|5|2d6+2 Eldritch Fury Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 60/200 ft., one creature. Hit: 25 (4d10 + 3) force damage. Eldritch Fury|6|4d10+3 Bear King M fey (shapechanger),tome of Beasts lawful neutral 18 (natural armor) 133 (14d8+70) 40 ft. 21 10 20 12 17 16 Str +9, Dex +4, Wis +7 Athletics +9, Intimidation +7, Perception +7 cold poison; bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing from nonmagical weapons that aren't made of cold iron poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 17 Common, Elvish, Giant, Sylvan 12 Alternate Form As a bonus action, the Bear King can assume the form of a shaggy grizzly bear, or a hybrid of his humanoid and bear forms. In alternate form the Bear King's size increases to Large, and he can make bite and claw attacks. He remains in this form until he returns to human form as a bonus action or he falls unconscious or dies. Keen Smell The Bear King has advantage on Perception (Wisdom) checks that rely on smell. Legendary Resistance (3/day) If the Bear King fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Regeneration (Alternate Form only) The Bear King regains 10 hit points at the start of his turn if he has at least 1 hit point. Bear King's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Bear King takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Bear King can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - The Bear King magically conjures up a swarm of eight giant bees (use giant wasp statistics) to defend his lair. The bees act immediately, and on initiative count 20 in subsequent rounds. The bees remain until they’re killed or until the Bear King dismisses them as an action. The Bear King can use this action again, but no more than eight giant bees can be present at a time. - The Bear King targets a creature within the lair that he can see. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be magically transformed into a brown bear as if by a polymorph spell. At the beginning of its turn, a transformed creature repeats the saving throw. If it fails, the creature must use its action to attack one of the Bear King’s foes. If it succeeds, the effect ends and the creature returns to its normal form. The effect lasts until the creature succeeds on the saving throw or until the Bear King uses this lair action again. - The Bear King causes the ground in a 20-foot radius to tremble and shake. Any creatures in the affected area must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or suffer 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and fall prone. The ground continues to tremble until initiative count 20 on the following round, during which time the area is difficult terrain. Regional Effects The region surrounding Gloaming Crag is warped by the Bear King’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Within 10 miles of the Bear King’s lair, creatures have disadvantage on saving throws made to avoid contracting lycanthropy from a werebear. - Bees within 10 miles of the Bear King’s lair are easily agitated quick to attack. Insect swarms (bees or hornets) are common in the area, but they tend to ignore locals. - Emotions within 5 miles of the Bear King’s lair run high. Arguments quickly descend into physical scuffles and enjoyable get-togethers are likely to become raucous carousing or even brawls. If the Bear King dies, conditions in the area surrounding the lair return to normal over the course of 1d6 days. Multiattack The bear king makes two ranged attacks or two melee attacks. In hybrid or grizzly bear form he can also make one additional bite attack. Bite (Grizzly or Hybrid Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) piercing damage. A target creature other than a construct or undead must make a successful DC 17 Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns or lose 10 (3d6) hit points from blood loss. Each time the Bear King hits the wounded creature with this attack, the hit point loss increases by 10 (3d6). A creature can take an action to staunch the bleeding on itself or an adjacent ally with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The bleeding also stops if the creature receives any magical healing. Bite|9|1d10+5 Claws (Grizzly or Hybrid Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage. Claws|9|2d6+5 Maul (Human or Hybrid Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. A creature hit by two maul attacks in the same turn must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or fall prone. Maul|9|2d6+5 Javelin (Human Form Only) Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) piercing damage. Javelin|9|1d5+5 The Bear King can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Bear King regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. Melee Attack The Bear King makes a claw or maul attack. Honey Toss The Bear King reaches into the jar he carries at his side and hurls a glob of honey at a target within 30 feet as a ranged weapon attack (+9 to hit). If the attack hits, the creature is restrained (escape DC 17). Frightful Roar (2 actions) The Bear King lets out a bloodcurdling roar. All creatures within 90 feet who can hear the Bear King must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A creature that makes its save, or who the effect ends for, is immune to the Frightful Roar for 24 hours. The bear king's allies are unaffected. Lord Of The Hunt M fey,tome of Beasts lawful neutral 18 (natural armor) 229 (27d8+108) 40 ft. 21 18 19 14 18 15 Str +11, Wis +10, Cha +8 Athletics +11, Perception +10, Survival +10 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from weapons that aren't made of cold iron cold, poison exhaustion, charmed, frightened, poisoned blindsight 10 ft., darkvision 60 ft. 20 Common, Draconic, Elvish, Sylvan 18 Expert Rider While the Lord of the Hunt is mounted, any attack directed at his steed targets the rider instead. The steed uses the Lord of the Hunt's saving throws. If the mount succeeds on a saving throw against a damaging effect, it takes no damage. Innate Spellcasting The lord of the hunt's innate spellcasting ability score is Charisma (save DC 16). The Lord of the Hunt can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components. At will: druidcraft, hunter's mark, phantom steed 3/day each: commune with nature, conjure volley 1/day: conjure fey (conjured creatures vanish if the Lord of the Hunt's concentration is broken) Legendary Resistance (3/day) If the Lord of the Hunt fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Magic Weapons The Lord of the Hunt's weapon attacks are magical. Lord of the Hunt's Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Lord of the Hunt takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Lord of the Hunt can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - The Lord of the Hunt chooses a point he can see within the lair. Plants erupt from the ground in a 20-foot radius surrounding that point, creating difficult terrain. Any creatures in the area at the start of their turn, or who enter the area for the first time on a turn, must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained by the vines and take 13 (3d8) poison damage. A creature can be freed if it or an adjacent ally uses an action to make a successful DC 15 Strength check. This effect lasts until the Lord of the Hunt uses this lair action again, or dies. - The Lord of the Hunt lets out a war cry. A creature the Lord can see within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. - The Lord of the Hunt magically marks a target he can see within 120 feet. The Lord has advantage on attack rolls against the marked target. The mark lasts until initiative count 20 on the following turn. Regional Effects The region containing Lord of the Hunt’s encampment is warped by his magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Game animals become plentiful within 3 miles of the lair. Wisdom (Survival) checks to hunt for food are made with advantage, but patrols from the Wild Hunt don’t take kindly to poachers. - Domesticated animals within 3 miles of the lair become skittish and fearful. They are more difficult to handle and flee the area if left to their own devices. - Areas of natural terrain within 3 miles of the lair subtly rearrange themselves to create game trails through even the densest wilderness.

The beams each illuminate a 10-foot radius with dim light. These moon beams last until the Moonlit King uses this action again, or until he dies. - The Moonlit King chooses a point he can see within 100 feet. Disembodied whispers speaking of despair and failure fill a 30-foot radius from that point. All creatures other than fiends in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until initiative count 20 on the following round. - The Moonlit King magically summons four shadow demons. The demons appear in unoccupied spaces the Moonlit King can see within 60 feet. The demons act immediately and remain until initiative count 20 on the following round.

If the target is a creature in a form other than its natural form, it takes an additional 22 (4d10) radiant damage and must succeed on a DC 19 Charisma saving throw or revert to its natural form. When the moon bolt hits a target, moonlight glows in a 10-foot radius from that point, creating dim light. The light is stationary and lasts until the end of the Moonlit King's next turn. Moon Bolt|11|4d10 Fearful Shadows (Recharge 5-6) The Moonlit King magically animates the shadows of all foes within 60 feet of himself. The animated shadows attack the creatures who cast them. All affected creatures in the area take 35 (10d6) necrotic damage, or half damage with a successful DC 19 Dexterity saving throw. A creature that fails the saving throw also loses 1d4 points from its Strength score. A creature reduced to 0 Strength is unconscious until it regains at least 1 point of Strength.

The summoned devil appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as an ally of its summoner, and can't summon other devils. It remains for 10 minutes, until its summoner dies, or until its summoner dismisses it as an action. Shadow Slip The Moonlit King takes on the quality of his manifest delusions when he is targeted by an attacker he can see. He becomes nearly insubstantial, so that the attack roll is made with disadvantage. If the attack hits, the Moonlit King takes half damage. The Moonlit King can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Moonlit King regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn. Staff The Moonlit King makes a crystal staff attack.

All bright light sources in the lair shed only dim light to their normal bright light radius, and dim light sources are extinguished. This lasts until the Queen dismisses the effect or dies. - An opaque wall of writhing shadows springs up from a solid surface within 120 feet of the Queen. The wall is up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. Each creature in the area must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 18 (4d8) necrotic damage. Creatures in the wall’s space are pushed 5 feet out of the wall’s space, appearing on whichever side of the wall they choose. A creature can move through the wall, but the semimaterial shadow resists intrusion. For every foot a creature travels through the wall, it must spend 4 feet of movement. Furthermore, any creature that, during its own turn, occupies any part of the wall’s space takes 18 (4d8) necrotic damage, or half damage with a successful DC 15 Constitution saving throw. Each 10-foot section of wall has AC 5, 15 hit points, vulnerability to radiant damage, resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage, and immunity to cold, poison, and psychic damage. The wall lasts until the Queen uses this lair action again, or until she dies. - The Queen targets one creature within 60 feet of her and assails its mind with visions of hopelessness and despair. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until initiative count 20 on the next round. Regional Effects The region containing the Queen of Night and Magic’s lair is warped by her magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Shadows come to life within 6 miles of the Queen’s lair. Most of the time these living shadows are unnerving and nothing more, but when a creature acts against the interests of the Queen, the shadows can interfere and cause any relevant die roll to be made with disadvantage. - Magic saturates the area within 6 miles of the lair, causing minor random effects similar to a prestidigitation cantrip. - The Queen of Night and Magic can cast her senses to any area containing darkness, dim light, or shadows within 6 miles of her lair, similar to a clairvoyance spell. While the Summer Court rules, the regional effects of the Queen’s lair extend into the Winter Palace, but they are diminished and weaker than normal. During the Winter Court’s reign, the Winter Palace is not subject to the regional effects. If the Queen of Night and Magic dies, conditions in the area surrounding the lair gradually return to normal over the course of 2d10 days. Multiattack The Queen of Night and Magic makes three attacks with her rapier or with star strike. Rapier Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Unravel The Queen of Night and Magic targets a creature, object, or magical effect that she can see. For every spell affecting the target, the Queen makes a Charisma check; the DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the spell is dispelled. Sudden Fraying When the Queen of Night and Magic is targeted by a spell or included in a spell's area, she can use her Unravel ability on it. The Queen does not need to see a spell to target it with this reaction, but she must be able to see at least some portion of an area or object affected by the spell. The Queen of Night and Magic can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Queen of Night and Magic regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn. Cantrip The Queen of Night and Magic casts a cantrip.

Legendary Resistance (3/day) If Nicnevin fails a saving throw she can choose to succeed instead. Token of Favor As an action, Nicnevin can cut a lock of her copper hair and twist it into a token for a creature she chooses. As long as that creature carries the token, it gains the magic resistance trait (see above). Nicnevin can revoke her favor at any time as a bonus action. When that happens, the creature loses the benefit of the token and, if Nicnevin wishes, the creature also has disadvantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects for 24 hours.

Creatures not in their natural form have disadvantage on the saving throw, and if they fail, they revert to their natural form immediately (this does not affect any shape-changing effect created by Nicnevin). - A wall of softly glowing crystal springs up from a solid surface in the lair. The wall is 60 feet long, 10 feet high, 5 feet thick, blocks line of sight, and sheds dim light out to 10 feet. Creatures within the wall’s area when it appears must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 14 (4d6) radiant damage. The creature is pushed out of the wall’s space to whichever side it chooses. Each 5-foot section of the wall has AC 15, 10 hit points, resistance to fire, slashing, and piercing damage, immunity to poison and psychic damage, and vulnerability to thunder. The wall lasts until Nicnevin uses this action again or dies. - Until initiative count 20 on the following round, any creatures other than fey who attempt to cast a spell must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or the spell fails and the spell slot is expended. A creature becomes aware of this effect the moment it begins casting a spell, and it can choose to take a different action instead. Regional Effects The region containing Nicnevin’s lair is warped by the queen’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Calling Nicnevin’s name under the light of the moon within 10 miles of her lair draws Nicnevin’s attention (as if she cast a scrying spell). She may visit the supplicant and hear a request, especially if the request is repeated on multiple nights. For 24 hours after the invocation, Nicenvin has a connection to the area that allows her to target it with teleportation circle. - Despite the weather, the moon is always visible for most of the night within 10 miles of the lair. Cloud cover has many breaks, or the moon’s light sharply penetrates the clouds. - Silvery fog is common within 10 miles of the lair, and strange whispers are heard within the mist.

The River King chooses a 10-foot-wide path up to 60 feet long. Each creature in the path of the water must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. Creatures that fail the save are swept 20 feet down the path of the water and take 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage. - The River King targets a creature he can see within 60 feet. That creature’s mouth and throat fill with river water. The creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a success, the creature manages to hold its breath, but on a failure, it begins to suffocate. A suffocating but conscious creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Flood Blast|8|4d8 Grasping Whirlpool (Recharge 5-6) The River King magically creates a swirling vortex of water centered on a point he can see within 60 feet. The vortex fills a cylinder with a 10-foot radius and 15 feet high. Creatures in the area must make a successful DC 16 Strength saving throw or take 11 (2d10) bludgeoning damage and be restrained and unable to breathe.

This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the following round. - The snow and ice of the lair shimmer and gleam, catching the light and flashing it into the eyes of the Snow Queen’s foes. Attack rolls against the Snow Queen and her allies within the lair have disadvantage until initiative count 20 on the following round. Regional Effects The region containing the Snow Queen’s lair is warped by the fey lady’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Within 10 miles of the lair, snow and ice resist melting. Snow and ice can be melted only with prolonged contact with fire. - The sky is overcast most of the time within 10 miles of the lair, and snowfall is common.

Contractibility and Conductivity Certain spells and effects function differently against feyward trees: A magical attack that deals cold damage slows a feyward tree (as the slow spell) for 3 rounds. A magical attack that deals lightning damage breaks any slow effect on the feyward tree and heals 1 hit point for each 3 damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the tree to exceed its full normal hp, it gains any excess as temporary hp. The tree gets no saving throw against lightning effects.

False Appearance While the frostveil remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a formation of frost and ice. Windborne While in blowing wind, the frostveil can fly with a speed of 30 feet. In a strong wind this speed increases to 60 feet. Multiattack The frostveil makes three tendril attacks. Tendril Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

A frostveil can't attack while it has a creature engulfed. Damage from attacks against the frostveil is split evenly between the frostveil and the engulfed creature; the only exceptions are slashing and psychic damage, which affect only the frostveil. Spirit Spores (recharge 6) In distress, frostveils release a puff of psychotropic spores in a 10-foot cloud around themselves. Creatures within the cloud of spores must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw against poison or suffer hallucinations, as per a confusion spell, for 1d3 rounds.

Bound The al-Aeshma must always be anchored to the earth. Even in gaseous form or sandstorm form, part of it must always touch the ground. The al-Aeshma's maximum altitude while flying is 50 ft. If it is not touching, it loses its immunities and gains vulnerability to lightning and thunder. Elemental Demise When an al-Aeshma dies, its body disintegrates into a swirling spray of coarse sand, leaving behind equipment it was wearing or carrying. Ill Wind As a bonus action when in gaseous form, the al.Aeshma can befoul its space with a choking scent. When the al-Aeshma moves through another creature's space in gaseous form, the creature must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated until the end of its next turn. Ill Wind lasts until the al-Aeshma leaves gaseous form or chooses to end the ability as a bonus action. Innate Spellcasting The al-Aeshma's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: detect evil and good, detect magic, thunderwave 3/day each: destroy food and water (as create food and water, but makes food and drink unpalatable), tongues, wind walk 1/day each: creation, gaseous form, insect plague, invisibility, major image Regeneration The al-Aeshma regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If it takes fire or radiant damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of its next turn. The al.Aeshma dies only if it starts its turn at 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate. Multiattack The al-Aeshma makes three scimitar attacks. Scimitar Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage, plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage. Scimitar|9|2d6+5 Dust Devil A 5-foot-radius, 30-foot-tall cylinder of sand magically forms on a point the al-Aeshma can see within 120 feet of it. The dust devil lasts as long as the al-Aeshma maintains concentration (as if a spell). Any creature but the al-Aeshma that enters the dust devil must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be restrained by it; any number of creatures may be restrained this way. At the start of a restrained creature's turn, it takes 7 (2d6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The al-Aeshma can move the dust devil up to 60 feet as an action; restrained creatures move with it. The dust devil ends if the al-Aeshma loses sight of it. A creature can use its action to free a creature restrained by the dust devil, including itself, by making a DC 18 Strength check. If the check succeeds, it moves to the nearest space outside the dust devil.

A gerridae takes one point of damage for every hour spent on dry land. Multiattack The gerridae makes one bite attack and one claw attack.

Savage Hunger A beggar ghoul that hits with its bite attack against a creature that hasn't acted yet in this combat scores a critical hit. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage. Bite|4|2d6+2 Claws Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

A paralyzed target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Claws|4|2d4+2 Bonepowder Ghoul S undead,tome of Beasts neutral evil 18 (natural armor) 195 (26d6+104) 30 ft. 10 20 18 19 15 18 Dex +9, Con +8, Wis +6, Cha +8 Perception +6, Stealth +9 cold, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons necrotic, poison charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 16 Common, Darakhul, Draconic, Dwarvish 12 Amorphous The bonepowder ghoul can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. Coalesce Whenever a bonepowder ghoul drains life force from victims with Gravedust, it can use that energy transform its shape into a more solid form and maintain it. The new form is Small and semi-transparent but roughly the shape of a normal ghoul. In this form, the ghoul isn't amorphous and can't form a whirlwind, but it can speak normally and manipulate objects. The altered form lasts for 1 minute for every point of necrotic damage it delivered against living foes. Turning Defiance The bonepowder ghoul and any other ghouls within 30 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead. Innate Spellcasting The bonepowder ghoul's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: chill touch, darkness, dispel magic, ray of enfeeblement 3/day: blindness/deafness, circle of death (7th level; 10d6) 1/day: finger of death Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) plus 1d4 Strength damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1d4 + 1 rounds. If the target creature is humanoid, it must succeed on a second DC 19 Constitution saving throw or contract darakhul fever. Bite|9|3d8+5 Gravedust A bonepowder ghoul can project a 40-ft. cone of grave dust. All targets within the area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw to avoid taking 4d8 necrotic damage, and must make a second DC 17 Constitution saving throw to avoid being infected with darakhul fever. Whirlwind (Recharge 5-6) A bonepowder ghoul can generate a whirlwind of bones and teeth. All creatures within a 20-foot cube take 66 (12d10) slashing damage and are drained of 1d6 Strength; a successful DC 17 Dexterity saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the Strength loss. The whirlwind dissipates after one round. Ghoul, Darakhul M undead,tome of Beasts neutral evil 16 (scale mail; 18 with shield) 78 (12d8+24) 30 ft. 16 17 14 14 12 12 Deception +3, Stealth +5 necrotic poison charmed, exhaustion, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 11 Common, Darakhul 3 Master of Disguise A darakhul in a prepared disguise has advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks made to pass as a living creature. While using this ability, the darakhul loses its stench. Stench Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the darakhul must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. A successful saving throw makes the creature immune to the darakhul's stench for 24 hours. A darakhul using this ability can't also benefit from Master of Disguise. Sunlight Sensitivity The darakhul has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight and on attack rolls while it, the object it is trying to see or attack in direct sunlight. Turning Defiance The darakhul and any ghouls within 30 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead. Darakhul Fever Spread mainly through bite wounds, this rare disease makes itself known within 24 hours by swiftly debilitating the infected. A creature so afflicted must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw after every long rest. On a failed save the victim takes 14 (4d6) necrotic damage, and its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction can't be removed until the victim recovers from darakhul fever, and even then only by greater restoration or similar magic. The victim recovers from the disease by making successful saving throws on two consecutive days. Greater restoration cures the disease; lesser restoration allows the victim to make the daily Constitution check with advantage. Primarily spread among humanoids, the disease can affect ogres, and therefore other giants may be susceptible. If the infected creature dies while infected with darakhul fever, roll 1d20, add the character's current Constitution modifier, and find the result on the Adjustment Table to determine what undead form the victim's body rises in. Adjustment Table Roll Result: 1-9 None; victim is simply dead 10-16 Ghoul 17-20 Ghast 21+ Darakhul Multiattack The darakhul bites once, claws once, and makes one war pick attack. Using a shield limits the darakhul to making either its claw or war pick attack, but not both. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage, and if the target creature is humanoid it must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or contract darakhul fever. Bite|5|2d8+3 Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead, it must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. A paralyzed target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a humanoid creature is paralyzed for 2 or more rounds (the victim fails at least 2 saving throws), consecutive or nonconsecutive, the creature contracts darakhul fever. Claw|5|2d6+3 War Pick Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.

Spellcasting The emperor is a 17th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting attribute is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks). The emperor knows the following sorcerer spells: Cantrips (at will): blade ward, chill touch, message, prestidigitation, shocking grasp, true strike 1st level (4 slots): magic missile, shield 2nd level (3 slots): mirror image, phantasmal force 3rd level (3 slots): fear, fireball 4th level (3 slots): blight, dimension door 5th level (2 slots): cloudkill, hold monster 6th level (1 slot): circle of death 7th level (1 slot): finger of death, teleport 8th level (1 slot): power word stun 9th level (1 slot): power word kill Sunlight Sensitivity While in direct sunlight, the emperor has disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Turn Resistance The emperor has advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead. Emperor Of The Ghouls' Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Emperor takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects. The Emperor can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - Until initiative count 20 on the following round, all creatures other than undead and constructs who take necrotic damage take an additional 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. - The emperor targets a creature within 30 feet that he can see. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 18 (4d8) necrotic damage. The emperor regains hit points equal to the damage. - A wall of ice springs up from a surface within 100 feet of the emperor. The wall is 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. A creature in the wall’s space when it appears must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) cold damage; then the creature is pushed to either side of the wall (the creature’s choice). Each 5-foot section of the wall has AC 10, 15 hit points, resistance to piercing and slashing damage, immunity to cold, poison, and psychic damage, and vulnerability to fire damage. The wall lasts until the emperor uses this action again, or dies. Regional Effects The region around the emperor’s lair is warped by its magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Creatures within 1 mile of the lair who are infected with darakhul fever have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws against spells and effects generated by ghouls or darakhul. - Dead bodies within 1 mile of the lair have an 80 percent chance to reanimate as skeletons or zombies 24 hours after their death. These undead never attack ghouls or dharakul, but instinctively obey their commands. - Phantom lights appear within 10 miles of the lair, more frequently the closer they are to the lair. The lights shed dim light out to 10 feet. Undead within such a light gain 1d6 temporary hit points at the start of their turn; the light can’t raise an undead’s hit points above 150 percent of its normal hit point maximum. If the emperor dies, conditions in the area surrounding the lair return to normal over the course of 1d10 days. Multiattack The emperor makes one bite attack and two claw attacks. He can make one attack with its scepter in place of a claw attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage, and a creature must make a successful DC 18 Constitution saving throw or contract darakhul fever (see page 215).

This reduction lasts until the target has no exhaustion levels. Withering Turban|5|1d4+3 Drought (1/Day) The gray thirster draws the moisture from a 20-foot radius area centered on itself. Nonmagical water and other liquids in this area turn to dust. Each creature that is neither undead nor a construct in the area takes 9 (2d8) necrotic damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw. Plants, oozes, and creatures with the Amphibious, Water Breathing, or Water Form traits have disadvantage on this saving throw.

Mock the Dying Death saving throws made within 60 feet of the jester have disadvantage. Turn Resistance The jester has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead. Joker's Shuffle (recharge 6) The jester forces one Medium or Small humanoid within 60 feet to make a DC 17 Charisma saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the jester and the target exchange locations via teleportation and an illusion causes them to swap appearance: the jester looks and sounds like the target, and the target looks and sounds like the jester. The illusion lasts for 1 hour unless it is dismissed earlier by the jester as a bonus action, or dispelled (DC 17). Killing Joke (recharge 6) The jester performs an ancient, nihilistic joke of necromantic power. This joke has no effect on undead or constructs. All other creatures within 60 feet of the jester must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. Those that fail fall prone in a fit of deadly laughter. The laughter lasts 1d4 rounds, during which time the victim is incapacitated and unable to stand up from prone. At the end of its turn each round, an incapacitated victim must make a successful DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be reduced to 0 hit points. The laughter can be ended early by rendering the victim unconscious or with greater restoration or comparable magic. Ridicule Hope (recharge 4-6) When a spell that restores hit points is cast within 60 feet of the jester, the jester can cause that spell to inflict damage instead of curing it.

The creature takes 26 (3d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage immediately plus 13 (2d12) acid damage at the start of each of the gug's turns. A swallowed creature is no longer grappled but is blinded and restrained, and has total cover against attacks and other effects from outside the gug. If the gug takes 75 points of damage in a single turn, the swallowed creature is expelled and falls prone next to the gug. When the gug dies, a swallowed creature can crawl from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement. Throw The gug throws one creature it has grappled. The creature is thrown a distance of 2d4 times 10 feet in the direction the gug chooses, and takes 20 (2d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage (plus falling damage if they are thrown into a chasm or off a cliff). A gug can throw a creature up to Large size. Small creatures are thrown twice as far, but the damage is the same.

The hag can grapple one or two creatures at a time. Also see Face Peel. Blood-Drinking Hair|9|3d8+5 Claws Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (4d6 + 5) slashing damage.

It takes 3 (1d6) necrotic damage if the saving throw fails, but the effect ends on a successful save. Face Peel The blood hag peels the face off one grappled foe. The target must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the face is torn off; the target takes 38 (8d6 + 10) slashing damage and is stunned until the start of the hag's next turn. If the save succeeds, the target takes half damage and isn't stunned. Heal, regeneration, or comparable magic restores the stolen features; other curative magic forms a mass of scar tissue. The peeled-off face is a tiny, animated object (per the spell-20 HP, AC 18, no attack, Str 4, Dex 18) under the hag's control. It retains the former owner's memories and personality. Blood hags keep such faces as trophies, but they can also wear someone's face to gain advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks made to imitate the face's former owner.

Failure on the saving throw leaves the character stunned until the start of its next turn. Multiattack A mirror hag can use its Reconfiguring Curse and make one melee attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (4d8 + 3) piercing damage, or 39 (8d8 + 3) piercing damage against a stunned target.

It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: invisibility 2/day each: hallucinatory terrain, major image Mimicry The sand hag can mimic animal sounds and humanoid voices. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations only with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check. Scorpion Step The sand hag walks lightly across sandy surfaces, never sinking into soft sand or leaving tracks. When in sand terrain, the sand hag ignores difficult terrain, doesn't leave tracks, and gains tremorsense 30 ft. Multiattack The sand hag makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion. Claw|7|1d8+4 Scouring Sirocco (Recharge 5-6) The sand hag generates a blast of hot wind in a 30-foot line or a 15-foot cone. Creatures inside it take 14 (4d6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage and are blinded for 1 minute; a successful DC 14 Constitution saving throw halves the damage and negates the blindness. A blinded creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The affected area (line or cone) is heavily obscured until the end of the sand hag's next turn. Change Shape The hag polymorphs into a Small or Medium female humanoid, or back into her true form. Her statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. She reverts to her true form if she dies.

Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage. Talons|6|2d6+3 Hovering Darkness An owl harpy that hovers in flight can shake a fine, magical dander from her wings over a creature within 20 feet and directly below her. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or fall unconscious and be poisoned for 10 minutes. It wakes up if it takes damage or if a creature uses an action to shake it awake, but waking up doesn't end the poisoning. Luring Song The owl harpy sings a magical melody. Every humanoid and giant within 300 feet of the harpy that can hear the song must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the song ends. The harpy must use a bonus action on its subsequent turns to continue singing. It can stop singing at any time. The song ends if the harpy becomes incapacitated. While charmed by the harpy, a target is incapacitated and ignores the songs of other harpies. A charmed target that is more than 5 feet away from the harpy must move at its highest rate (including dashing, if necessary) along the most direct route to get within 5 feet of the harpy. The charmed creature doesn't maneuver to avoid opportunity attacks, but it can repeat the saving throw every time it takes damage from anything other than the harpy. It also repeats the saving throw before entering damaging terrain (lava or a pit, for example), if the most direct route includes a dangerous space. A creature also repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. A successful saving throw ends the effect on that creature and makes the creature immune to this harpy's song for 24 hours.

Sepulchral Scrying (1/Day) An invisible magical eye is created under the haugbui's control, allowing it to watch its territory without leaving the burial mound. The eye travels at the speed of thought and can be up to 5 miles from the haugbui's location. The haugbui can see and hear as if it were standing at the eye's location, and it can use its innate spellcasting abilities as if it were at the eye's location. The eye can be noticed with a successful DC 18 Wisdom (Perception) check and can be dispelled as if it were 3rd-level spell. Spells that block other scrying spells work against Sepulchral Scrying as well.

Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the haugbui has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

The deposited egg grows for 2 weeks before hatching. If the implanted victim is still alive, it loses 1d2 Constitution every 24 hours and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. After the first week, the victim is incapacitated and blinded. When the egg hatches after 2 weeks, an immature horakh erupts from the victim's head, causing 1d10 bludgeoning, 1d10 piercing, and 1d10 slashing damage.

If the whelp was attacked, this reaction occurs after the attack is made but before damage is done. Nearby creatures and objects are pushed to the nearest available space and must make a successful DC 15 Strength saving throw or fall prone. Weapons, armor, and other objects worn or carried by the hulking whelp grow (and shrink again) proportionally when it changes size. Overcome by raw emotion, it sets about destroying anything and everything it can see (which isn't much) and reach (which is quite a lot). The transformation lasts until the hulking whelp is unaware of any nearby creatures for 1 round, it drops to 0 hit points, it has 5 levels of exhaustion, or it's affected by a calm emotions spell or comparable magic. The transformation isn't entirely uncontrollable; people or creatures the whelp knows and trusts can be near it without triggering the reaction. Under the wrong conditions, such as in a populated area, a hulking whelp's Unleashed Emotion can last for days. Multiattack The hulking whelp makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. Slam|8|3d8+5 Quick Step A hulking whelp can move 20 feet as a reaction when it is attacked. No opportunity attacks are triggered by this move. Hundun L celestial,tome of Beasts chaotic good 18 (natural armor) 153 (18d10+54) 40 ft., fly 40 ft. 20 14 16 4 20 18 Con +7, Wis +9, Cha +8 Athletics +9, Insight +9, Perception +9 lightning, thunder; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons acid, psychic blinded, charmed, deafened, exhaustion, frightened, stunned, unconscious blindsight 60 ft. 20 understands Celestial and Primordial, but cannot speak intelligibly 10 Brainless Hunduns are immune to any spell or effect that allows an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw. Trying to contact or read a Hundun's mind confuses the caster as the spell for 1 round. Dance of Creation Hunduns can perform an act of magical creation almost unlimited in scope every 1d8 days. The effect is equivalent to a wish spell, but it must create something. Enlightening Befuddlement When a hundun's confusion spell affects a target, it can elect to use the following table rather than the standard one: 1d100 Result 01-10 Inspired: Advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws 11-20 Distracted: Disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws 21-50 Incoherent: The target does nothing but babble or scribble incoherent notes on a new idea 51-75 Obsessed: Target is recipient of geas to create a quality magical object 76-100 Suggestible: Target receives a suggestion from the hundun Innate Spellcasting The hundun's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 17). It can cast the following spells, requiring no material components: Constant: confusion (always centered on the hundun), detect thoughts At will: create or destroy water, dancing lights, mending, prestidigitation 3/day each: compulsion, dimension door, black tentacles, irresistible dance 1/day each: awaken, creation, heroes' feast, magnificent mansion, plant growth, reincarnate, stone shape Magic Weapons The hundun's weapon attacks are magical. Multiattack The hundun makes four slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. Slam|9|3d6+5 Ice Maiden M fey,tome of Beasts lawful evil 16 (natural armor) 84 (13d8+26) 30ft. 12 17 15 19 13 23 Con +5, Cha +9 Deception +9, Persuasion +9, Stealth +6 fire bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons cold darkvision 60 ft. 11 Common, Giant, Sylvan 6 Chilling Presence Cold air surrounds the ice maiden. Small non-magical flames are extinguished in her presence and water begins to freeze. Unprotected characters spending more than 10 minutes within 15 feet of her must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer as if exposed to severe cold. Spells that grant protection from cold damage are targeted by an automatic dispel magic effect. Cold Eyes Ice maidens see perfectly in snowy conditions, including driving blizzards, and are immune to snow blindness. Ice Walk Ice maidens move across icy and snowy surfaces without penalty. Snow Invisibility In snowy environments, the ice maiden can turn invisible as a bonus action. Magic Resistance The ice maiden has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Innate Spellcasting The ice maiden's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). She can innately cast the following spells: At will: chill touch, detect magic, light, mage hand, prestidigitation, resistance 5/day each: endure elements (cold only), fear, fog cloud, misty step 3/day each: alter self, protection from energy, sleet storm 1/day: ice storm Multiattack The frost maiden makes two ice dagger attacks. Ice Dagger Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage. Ice Dagger|6|1d4+3 Flurry-Form The ice maiden adopts the form of a swirling snow cloud. Her stats are identical to an air elemental that deals cold damage instead of bludgeoning. Icy Entangle Ice and snow hinder her opponent's movement, as the entangle spell (DC 17). Kiss of the Frozen Heart An ice maiden may kiss a willing individual, freezing the target's heart. The target falls under the sway of a dominate spell, his or her alignment shifts to LE, and he or she gains immunity to cold. The ice maiden can have up to three such servants at once. The effect can be broken by dispel magic (DC 17), greater restoration, or the kiss of someone who loves the target. Snowblind Burst In a snowy environment, the ice maiden attempts to blind all creatures within 30 feet of herself. Those who fail a DC 17 Charisma saving throw are blinded for 1 hour. Targets that are immune to cold damage are also immune to this effect. Idolic Deity S construct,tome of Beasts neutral evil 17 (natural armor) 90 (12d6+48) 0 ft., fly 30 ft. 14 20 18 10 11 20 Wis +3 Deception +8, Stealth +8 fire cold; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons poison charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 10 telepathy 60 ft. 8 Stealth in darkness The idolic diety gains an additional +3 to Stealth (+11 in total) in dim light or darkness. Apostasy Aura The idolic deity's presence causes devout followers to doubt their faith. A cleric or paladin that can see the idolic deity and wishes to cast a spell or use a class feature must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the spell or class feature is spent as if it was used, but it has no effect. Incorporeal Movement The idolic deity can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. Shadow Stealth While in dim light or darkness, the idolic deity can take the Hide action as a bonus action. Multiattack The idolic deity uses Seduce the Righteous and makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) psychic damage. Slam|8|1d6+5 Seduce the Righteous The idolic deity targets one creature it can see within 30 feet. The target has disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, or ability checks (the idolic deity chooses which) until the end of its next turn. A protection from evil and good spell cast on the target prevents this effect, as does a magic circle. Imy-Ut Ushabti M monstrosity,tome of Beasts neutral 15 (chain shirt) 97 (15d8+30) 30 ft. 17 14 15 6 10 5 Wis +2 fire bludgeoning exhaustion, frightened darkvision 60 ft. 10 Common (Ancient Nurian) 3 Regeneration The imy-ut ushabti regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. Rent wrappings A creature that touches or deals slashing or piercing damage to an imy-ut ushabti while within 5 feet of the creature shreds its delicate linen wrappings, releasing a flurry of skittering scarabs. The attacking creature must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw to avoid them. On a failure, these beetles flow onto the attacker and deal 3 (1d6) piercing damage to it at the start of each of its turns. A creature can remove beetles from itself or from another affected creature within reach by using an action and making a successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. The beetles are also destroyed if the affected creature takes damage from an area effect. Ceremonial Greatsword Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage, and the target must make a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 5 (2d4) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Ceremonial Greatsword|5|2d6+3 Vomit Swarm (1/Day) The imy-ut ushabti parts its wrappings voluntarily and releases a swarm of scarab beetles that follow its mental commands. The statistics of this swarm are identical to a swarm of insects, but with the following attack instead of a swarm of insects' standard bite attack: Bites Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (4d4) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer, and the target must make a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 5 (2d4) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Bites|3|4d4 Isonade G monstrosity,tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 18 (natural armor) 222 (12d20+96) swim 100 ft. 30 14 26 6 18 8 Str +14, Con +12, Wis +8 Athletics +14, Perception +8 ability damage/drain darkvision 90 ft. 18 understands Aquan and Elvish, but cannot speak 14 Atmospheric Immunity The isonade can comfortably exist at any level of the sea and suffers no penalties at any depth. Magic Resistance The isonade has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Water Breathing The isonade can breathe only underwater. Innate Spellcasting The isonade's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: animal messenger 3/day each: control water, earthquake 1/day each: control weather, storm of vengeance, tsunami Multiattack The isonade makes one tail slap attack and one bite attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 42 (5d12+ 10) piercing damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 20). If the target was already grappled from a previous bite, it's also swallowed whole (see below). Bite|14|5d12+10 Tail Slap Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 31 (6d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage. Tail Slap|14|6d6+10 Breach The isonade leaps out of the water to crash down onto a target with devastating effect. The isonade must move 30 feet in a straight line toward its target before jumping. When jumping, the isonade travels up to 30 feet through the air before landing. Any creature occupying the space where the isonade lands takes 76 (12d10 + 10) bludgeoning damage and becomes submerged 10 feet below the surface of the water. Targets that make a successful DC 20 Strength saving throw take half damage and are not submerged, but are moved to the nearest unoccupied space. Boats and structures are not immune to this attack. Swallow Whole When the isonade's bite attack hits a target grappled from a previous bite attack, the target is also swallowed. The grapple ends, but the target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the isonade, and it takes 36 (8d8) acid damage at the start of each of the isonade's turns. An isonade can have two Large, four Medium, or six Small creatures swallowed at a time. If the isonade takes 40 damage or more from a swallowed creature in a single turn, it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone within 10 feet of the isonade. If the isonade dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone. Jaculus S dragon,tome of Beasts neutral evil 18 (natural armor) 65 (10d6+30) 20 ft., climb 20 ft., fly 10 ft. 14 18 17 13 13 13 Str +4, Dex +6, Con +5, Wis +3, Cha +3 Acrobatics +6, Perception +3, Stealth +6 acid, lightning blindsight 10 ft., darkvision 60 ft. 13 Common, Draconic 3 Spearhead If the jaculus moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and hits that target with a jaws attack on the same turn, the jaws attack does an extra 4 (1d8) piercing damage. Multiattack The jaculus makes one jaws attack and one claws attack. Jaws Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage. Jaws|4|2d4+2 Claws Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 2) slashing damage.

Detect Spellcasting Kalkes can sense spellcasting in a 5-mile radius, as long as the effect is not innate. Magic Resistance Kalkes have advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects. Dagger Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage. Dagger|5|1d4+3 Kikimora M fey,tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 15 (natural armor) 65 (10d8+20) 30 ft. 13 18 15 12 16 21 Deception +7, Persuasion +7, Stealth +6 bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from darkvision 60 ft. 13 Common, Sylvan 5 Magic Resistance The kikimora has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Innate Spellcasting The kikimora's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: invisibility (self only), mage hand, mending, minor illusion, prestidigitation 3/day each: animal friendship, blinding smite, sleep 1/day each: insect plague, major image Multiattack The kikimora makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage. Claw|6|2d6+4 Hidey-Hole When a kikimora chooses a house to inhabit, she scrawls a symbol on a wall, baseboard, cupboard, or semi.permanent object (like a stove) to be her tiny domain. This ability creates a hidden extra-dimensional dwelling. After creating a hidey-hole, a kikimora can teleport herself and up to 50 lb of objects to the designated location instead of making a normal move. This extradimensional space can only be entered by the kikimora or by a creature using a plane shift spell or ability. The location can be determined by casting detect magic in the area of the sigil, but it takes a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check to plane shift into the space. Inside the hidey-hole, a kikimora can see what is going on outside the space through a special sensor. This sensor functions like a window, and it can be blocked by mundane objects placed in front of the sigil. If she leaves an item in her space, it remains there even if she removes the sigil and places it in another location. If someone else removes the sigil, all contents are emptied into the Ethereal Plane (including any beings within her hidey-hole at the time). In this case, the kikimora can attempt a DC 15 Charisma saving throw to instead eject herself (but none of her possessions) into a space adjacent to the sigil. Kobold Alchemist S humanoid (kobold),tome of Beasts lawful neutral 15 (studded leather) 44 (8d6+16) 30 ft. 7 16 15 16 9 8 Dex +5 Arcana +5, Medicine +3 poison poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 9 Common, Draconic 2 Apothecary As a bonus action the kobold can select one of the following damage types: acid, cold, or fire. Until it uses this action again, the kobold has resistance to the chosen damage type. Additionally, the kobold is proficient with a poisoner's kit. Pack Tactics The kobold has advantage on an attack roll against a target if at least one of the kobold's allies is within 5 feet of the target and the ally isn't incapacitated. Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the kobold has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Multiattack The kobold makes two attacks. Dagger Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 5 (2d4) poison damage. Dagger|5|1d4+3 Dart Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 5 (2d4) poison damage. Dart|5|1d4+3 Alchemical Protection (Recharge after a Short or Long Rest) The kobold chooses up to six allied creatures within 10 feet. It releases alchemical vapors that grant those allies resistance to poison damage for 10 minutes. Instead of poison damage, the kobold can grant resistance to the damage type currently in effect for its Apothecary trait. Explosive Flask (Recharge 5-6) The kobold throws a flask of volatile substances at a point within 30 feet. The flask explodes in a 15-foot radius. Creatures in the area take 17 (5d6) poison damage and are poisoned for 1 minute, or take half damage and are not poisoned with a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the poisoned condition on a success. Instead of poison damage, the kobold can deal the damage type currently in effect for its Apothecary trait. Kobold Chieftain S humanoid (kobold),tome of Beasts lawful evil 17 (studded leather and shield) 82 (15d6+30) 30 ft. 10 17 14 11 13 14 Dex +5, Cha +4 Intimidation +6, Stealth +5 charmed, frightened darkvision 60 ft. 11 Common, Draconic 4 Pack Tactics The kobold chieftain has advantage on an attack roll against a target if at least one of the chieftain's allies is within 5 feet of the target and the ally isn't incapacitated. Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the kobold chieftain has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Multiattack The kobold makes 2 attacks. Shortsword Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) poison damage and the target must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Shortsword|5|1d6+3 Shortbow Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) poison damage and the target must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Shortbow|5|1d6+3 Inspiring Presence (Recharge after Short or Long Rest) The chieftain chooses up to six allied kobolds it can see within 30 feet. For the next minute, the kobolds gain immunity to the charmed and frightened conditions, and add the chieftain's Charisma bonus to attack rolls. Springspike Shield (5/rest) When the kobold chieftain is hit by a melee attack within 5 feet, the kobold chieftain can fire one of its shield spikes at the attacker. The attacker takes 3 (1d6) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) poison damage. Kobold Trapsmith S humanoid,tome of Beasts lawful neutral 14 (leather) 36 (8d6+8) 30 ft. 7 16 12 16 13 8 Stealth +5 darkvision 60 ft. 11 Common, Draconic 1 Sunlight Sensitivity While in sunlight, the kobold trapsmith has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. Pack Tactics The kobold trapsmith has advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the trapsmith's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated. Thief's Tools The kobold trapsmith has proficiency with thief's tools and is seldom without them. If its tools are taken away or lost, it can cobble together a new set from wire, bits of metal, and other junk in 30 minutes. Traps and Snares The kobold trapsmith excels at setting mechanical traps. Detecting, disarming, avoiding, or mitigating its traps require successful DC 13 checks or saving throws, and the traps have +5 attack bonuses. With thief's tools and basic construction materials, a trapsmith can set up one of the simple but effective traps listed below in 5 minutes. Triggers involve pressure plates, tripwires, small catches in a lock, or other simple mechanisms. Choke Bomb This small incendiary device burns rapidly and releases choking smoke in a 20-foot sphere. The area is heavily obscured. Any breathing creature that's in the affected area when the cloud is created or that starts its turn in the cloud is poisoned. Once a poisoned creature leaves the cloud, it makes a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the poisoned condition on a success. The smoke dissipates after 10 minutes, or after 1 round in a strong wind. Poisoned Sliver A poisoned sliver or needle can be hidden almost anywhere: inside a lock or a box, in a carpeted floor, on the underside of a door handle, in a cup of liquid or a bowl of gems. When someone meets the conditions for being jabbed by the sliver, the trap makes a melee weapon attack with advantage: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target; Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) poison damage, or one-half poison damage with a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw. Skullpopper This trap consists of either a heavy weight, a spike, or a blade, set to fall or swing into a victim. When triggered, a skullpopper makes a melee weapon attack against the first target in its path: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target; Hit: 11 (2d10) damage. The type of damage depends on how the skullpopper is built: a stone or heavy log does bludgeoning damage, a spiked log does piercing damage, a scything blade does slashing damage, etc. Slingsnare A concealed loop of rope or wire is affixed to a counterweight. When a creature steps into the snare, it must make a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be yanked into the air and suspended, upside down, 5 feet above the ground. The snared creature is restrained (escape DC 13). The cord is AC 10 and has 5 hit points. Dagger Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage. Dagger|5|1d4+3 Light Crossbow Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage, or one-half poison damage with a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw. Light Crossbow|5|1d8+3 Shredder (Recharge 6) The kobold trapsmith primes and throws a device at a point within 30 feet. The device explodes when it hits something solid, flinging razor-sharp spikes in a 15-foot-radius sphere. Every creature in the area takes 14 (4d6) piercing damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. The ground inside the spherical area is littered with spikes; it becomes difficult terrain, and a creature that falls prone in the area takes 7 (2d6) piercing damage. Stunner (1/Day) Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is restrained (escape DC 13). While restrained, the target takes 7 (2d6) lightning damage at the start of its turn and falls prone. The trapsmith has advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing metal armor. A stunner is a bola made of metal wire, magnets, and static electricity capacitors. A kobold trapsmith can recharge it during a long rest. Stunner|5|1d4+3 Kongamato L beast,tome of Beasts unaligned 16 (natural armor) 112 (15d10+30) 10 ft., fly 60 ft. 19 18 14 2 10 7 Perception +3 13 - 5 Flyby The kongamato doesn't provoke an opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy's reach. Breaker of Boats The kongamato deals double damage to objects and structures made of wood or lighter materials. Carry Off A single kongamato can carry away prey up to 50 lbs, or a single rider under that weight. A grouo of them can carry up to 100 lbs. Multiattack The kongamato makes one bite attack and two claw attacks. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d6 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and the kongamato can't bite another target. When the kongamato moves, any target it is grappling moves with it. Bite|7|4d6+4 Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. Claw|7|3d6+4 Koschei M fiend,tome of Beasts neutral evil 18 (natural armor) 135 (18d8+54) 30 ft. 22 12 17 17 13 21 Dex +7, Wis +7, Cha +11 Arcana +9, Insight +7, Perception +7 cold, lightning necrotic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons charmed, exhaustion, frightened darkvision 60 ft. 17 Abyssal, Common, Celestial, Dwarvish, Infernal 17 Hidden Soul A creature holding the egg containing Koschei's soul can use an action to compel Koschei as if a dominate monster spell were cast on him and Koschei failed his saving throw. As long as the soul is within the needle, Koschei can't permanently die. If he is killed, his body reforms in his lair in 1d10 days. If the needle is broken, Koschei can be killed like any other creature. Innate Spellcasting Koschei's innate spellcasting attribute is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit with spell attacks). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components. At will: detect magic, phantom steed, scorching ray, sending 3/day each: invisibility, magic missile, shield 2/day each: animate objects, cone of cold, hypnotic pattern 1/day each: disintegrate, meteor swarm, true polymorph Legendary Resistance (3/day) If Koschei fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Magic Weapons Koschei's weapon attacks are magical and do an extra 14 (4d6) necrotic damage (included below). Koschei's Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Koschei takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Koschei can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: - Koschei creates a whirlwind centered on a point he can see within 100 feet. The whirlwind is 10 feet wide and up to 50 feet tall. A creature in the area of the whirlwind when it’s created, or who enters the area for the first time on a turn, must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained and takes 18 (4d8) bludgeoning damage fromthe buffeting wind. A restrained creature can escape from the whirlwind by using its action to repeat the saving throw; on a success, it moves 5 feet outside the area of the whirlwind. The whirlwind lasts until Koschei uses this action again or dies. - Tortured spirits appear and attack up to three creatures Koschei can see within the lair. One attack is made against each targeted creature; each attack has +8 to hit and does 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. - Koschei disrupts the flow of magic in his lair. Until initiative count 20 on the following round, any creature other than a fiend who targets Koschei with a spell must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature still casts the spell, but it must target a creature other than Koschei. Regional Effects The region containing Koschei’s lair is warped by Koschei’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Rabbits, ducks, and other game animals become hostile toward intruders within 5 miles of the lair. They behave aggressively, but only attack if cornered. Foraging for food by hunting is difficult and only yields half the normal amount of food. - Wind and snowstorms are common within 5 miles of the lair. - Koschei is aware of any spell cast within 5 miles of his lair. He knows the source of the magic (innate, the caster’s class, or a magic item) and knows the direction to the caster. If Koschei dies, conditions in the area surrounding his lair return to normal over the course of 1d10 days. Multiattack Koschei makes two longsword attacks and one drain life attack. Longsword Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) slashing damage or 11 (1d10 + 6) slashing damage if used in two hands plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. Longsword|12|1d8+6 Drain Life Melee Spell Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (4d6 + 6) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken from this attack, and Koschei regains an equal number of hit points. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Drain Life|11|4d6+6 Koschei can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn.

The poison duration is cumulative with multiple failed saving throws. Claw|7|1d8+4 Whiptail Stinger Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 poison damage. If the target is also poisoned by the mamura's claws, it takes another 1d6 poison damage at the start of each of its turns while the poisoning remains in effect. Whiptail Stinger|7|1d8+4 Mask Wight M undead,tome of Beasts neutral evil 19 (natural armor) 207 (18d8+126) 40 ft. 22 18 24 15 16 18 Str +11, Dex +9, Con +12, Int +7, Wis +8, Cha +9 radiant acid, fire, lightning, cold; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons necrotic, poison charmed, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, stunned, unconscious darkvision 60 ft., truesight 30 ft. 13 Common, Giant, Infernal 13 Innate Spellcasting The wight's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 17). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: alter self 1/day each: counterspell, dispel magic, enlarge/reduce, spider climb, tongues 1/week: gate Single-minded Purpose The wight has advantage on attack rolls against followers of the fiend it is tasked to destroy and those in its target's employ (whether or not they are aware of their employer), as well as the fiend itself. Multiattack The mask wight makes one Khopesh of Oblivion attack and one Enervating Spiked Gauntlet attack. Khopesh of Oblivion Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or some cherished material thing disappears from the universe, and only the target retains any memory of it. This item can be as large as a building, but it can't be a living entity and it can't be on the target's person or within the target's sight. Khopesh of Oblivion|11|3d8+6 Enervating Spiked Gauntlet Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d12 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 11 (2d10) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or gain 1 level of exhaustion. The target recovers from all exhaustion caused by the enervating spiked gauntlet at the end of its next long rest. Enervating Spiked Gauntlet|11|2d12+6 Wail of the Forgotten (Recharge 6) The mask wight emits an ear-piercing wail. All creatures within 30 feet of the wight take 65 (10d12) thunder damage and are permanently deafened; a successful DC 17 Charisma saving throw reduces damage to half and limits the deafness to 1d4 hours. Targets slain by this attack are erased from the memories of every creature in the planes, all written or pictorial references to the target fade away, and its body is obliterated.the only exception is those who personally witnessed the death. Restoring such a slain creature requires a wish or divine intervention; no mortal remembers the creature's life or death. Mavka M undead,tome of Beasts chaotic evil 17 (natural armor) 170 (20d8+80) 30 ft. 20 15 18 13 13 18 Str +9, Dex +6, Con +8, Cha +8 Athletics +9, Nature +5, Perception +5 acid, fire, necrotic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons cold, lightning darkvision 90 ft. 15 Common, Infernal, Sylvan 12 Innate Spellcasting The mavka's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks).

Mavkas are encountered with their mounts 95% of the time. Sunlight Hypersensitivity The mavka takes 20 radiant damage when she starts her turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, she has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. Multiattack The mavka makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 11 (2d10) necrotic damage.

They can enter a sporulated form capable of surviving travel through the void and returning to consciousness when conditions are right. Sneak Attack (1/Turn) The mi-go does an extra 7 (2d6) damage when it hits a target with a claw attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the mi-go that isn't incapacitated and the mi-go doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll. Disquieting Technology The mi-go are a highly advanced race, and may carry items of powerful technology. Mi-go technology can be represented using the same rules as magic items, but their functions are very difficult to determine: identify is useless, but an hour of study and a successful DC 19 Arcana check can reveal the purpose and proper functioning of a mi.go item. Multiattack The mi-go makes two attacks with its claws. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). If both claw attacks strike the same target in a single turn, the target takes an additional 13 (2d12) psychic damage. Claw|7|3d6+4 Spore Release When a mi-go dies, it releases its remaining spores. All living creatures within 10 feet take 14 (2d8 + 5) poison damage and become poisoned; a successful DC 16 Constitution saving throw halves the damage and prevents poisoning. A poisoned creature repeats the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself with a success. Millitaur L monstrosity,tome of Beasts neutral 14 (natural armor) 85 (10d10+30) 40 ft., burrow 20 ft., climb 30 ft. 18 14 16 8 12 10 Acrobatics +4 poison; bludgeoning and slashing from nonmagical weapons prone darkvision 60 ft., tremorsense 30 ft. 11 Common 3 Multiattack The millitaur makes two handaxe attacks.

Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Constrict Face When a map mimic touches a Medium or smaller creature or vice versa, it adheres to the creature, enveloping the creature's face and covering its eyes and ears and airways (escape DC 13). The target creature is immediately blinded and deafened, and it begins suffocating at the beginning of the mimic's next turn. False Appearance (Object Form Only) While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object. Mimic Page The mimic can disguise itself as any tiny, flat object.a piece of leather, a plate.not only a map. In any form, a map mimic can make a map on its skin leading to its mother mimic. Pseudopod Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Constrict Face trait. Pseudopod|4|1d6+2 Mindrot Thrall M plant,tome of Beasts neutral 15 (natural armor) 82 (11d8+33) 30 ft. 15 14 17 11 14 6 Con +5 bludgeoning and piercing from nonmagical weapons acid, poison charmed, frightened, poisoned tremorsense 30 ft. 12 understands Common but cannot speak 3 Fungal Aura A creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of a mindrot thrall must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become infected with mindrot spores. Multiattack The mindrot thrall makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) slashing damage. Claw|4|2d6+2 Acid Breath (Recharge 4-6) The thrall exhales a blast of acidic spores from its rotten lungs in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area takes 36 (8d8) acid damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the creature is also infected with mindrot spores. Mindrot Spores Infection occurs when mindrot spores are inhaled or swallowed. Infected creatures must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at the end of every long rest; nothing happens if the saving throw succeeds, but if it fails, the creature takes 9 (2d8) acid damage and its hit point maximum is reduced by the same amount. The infection ends when the character makes successful saving throws after two consecutive long rests, or receives the benefits of a lesser restoration spell or comparable magic. A creature slain by this disease becomes a mindrot thrall after 24 hours unless the corpse is destroyed. Mirager M fey (shapechanger),tome of Beasts neutral evil 13 78 (12d8+24) 30 ft. 12 16 14 10 14 20 Deception +7, Performance +9, Perception +4 darkvision 60 ft. 14 Common, Sylvan 3 Shapechanger The mirager can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid, or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Innate Spellcasting The mirager's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 3/day: charm person 1/day each: hallucinatory terrain, suggestion Enthralling Mirage When the mirager casts hallucinatory terrain, the area appears so lush and inviting that those who view it feel compelled to visit. Any creature that approaches within 120 feet of the terrain must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. Those that fail are affected as by the enthrall spell with the mirager as the caster; they give the mirage their undivided attention, wanting only to explore it, marvel at its beauty, and rest there for an hour. The mirager can choose to have creatures focus their attention on it instead of the hallucinatory terrain. Creatures affected by the enthrall effect automatically fail saving throws to disbelieve the hallucinatory terrain. This effect ends if the hallucinatory terrain is dispelled. Multiattack. The mirager makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. Slam|5|1d6+3 Thirst Kiss The mirager feeds on the body moisture of creatures it lures into kissing it. A creature must be charmed, grappled, or incapacitated to be kissed. A kiss hits automatically, does 21 (6d6) necrotic damage, and fills the mirager with an exultant rush of euphoria that has the same effect as a heroism spell lasting 1 minute. The creature that was kissed doesn't notice that it took damage from the kiss unless it makes a successful DC 16 Wisdom (Perception) check. Captivating Dance (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest, Humanoid Form Only) The mirager performs a sinuously swaying dance. Humanoids within 20 feet that view this dance must make a successful DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned for 1d4 rounds and charmed by the mirager for 1 minute. Humanoids of all races and genders have disadvantage on this saving throw. A creature that saves successfully is immune to this mirager's dance for the next 24 hours.

Swamp Camouflage The miremal has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in swampy terrain. Savage Move If the miremal surprises a creature, it gets a bonus action it can use on its first turn of combat for a claw attack, a bite attack, or a Bog Spew attack. Multiattack The miremal makes two attacks, one of which must be a claw attack. Claws Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage. Claws|5|1d6+3 Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage. Bite|5|1d6+3 Bog Spew (Recharge 5-6) The miremal spews a noxious stream of bog filth mixed with stomach acid at a target up to 20 feet away. Target must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Muddled Escape (1/Day) If an attack would reduce the miremal's hit points to 0, it collapses into a pool of filth-laden swamp water and its hit points are reduced to 1 instead. The miremal can move at its normal speed in this form, including moving through spaces occupied by other creatures. As a bonus action at the beginning of the miremal's next turn, it can reform, still with 1 hit point.

Outside fey locales, this ability does not function.

The target must succeed at a DC 10 Charisma saving throw or become invisible, silent, and paralyzed, while an illusory version of itself remains visible and audible.and under the monolith footman's control, shouting for a retreat or the like. Outside fey locales, this ability does not function. Fey Flame The ritual powering a monolith footman grants it an inner flame that it can use to enhance its weapon or its fists with additional fire or cold damage, depending on the construct's needs. Simple Construction Monolith footmen are designed with a delicate fey construction. They burst into pieces and are destroyed when they receive a critical hit. Longsword Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) cold or fire damage.

Absorb Channeled Energy If a mordant snare is in the area of effect of a turn undead attempt, it gains temporary hit points. For each mordant puppet that would have been affected by the turning if it were a zombie, the mordant snare gains 10 temporary hit points, to a maximum of 60. Buried Until it does something to reveal its presence, a buried mordant snare is treated as if it's invisible. Mordant Puppets A mordant snare can control up to four bodies per tentacle. These "puppets" look and move like zombies. Treat each one as a zombie, but limited in movement to the 30-foot-by-30-foot area above the buried snare. Unlike normal zombies, any creature within 5 feet of a mordant puppet when the puppet takes piercing or slashing damage takes 3 (1d6) acid damage (spray from the wound). All puppets attached to a particular tentacle are destroyed if the mordant snare attacks with that tentacle; this does 9 (2d8) acid damage per puppet to all creatures within 5 feet of any of those puppets, or half damage with a successful DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. Damage done to puppet zombies doesn't affect the mordant snare. If the snare is killed, all of its puppets die immediately without causing any acid damage. Multiattack The mordant snare makes four melee attacks, using any combination of tentacle attacks, spike attacks, and filament attacks. No creature can be targeted by more than one filament attack per turn. Spike Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) acid damage.

Love of Heavy Weapons While moss lurkers can use heavy weapons, they have disadvantage while wielding them. Keen Hearing and Smell The moss lurker has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. Poisoned Gifts A moss lurker can contaminate liquids or food with poison. Someone who consumes the contaminated substance must make a successful DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. When the poison is introduced, the moss lurker can choose a poison that also causes the victim to fall unconscious, or to become paralyzed while poisoned in this way. An unconscious creature wakes if it takes damage, or if a creature uses an action to shake it awake. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) slashing damage.

Any creature that comes in physical contact with the venomous mummy (e.g., touching the mummy barehanded, grappling, using a bite attack) must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned with Selket's venom. The poisoned target takes 3 (1d6) poison damage every 10 minutes. Selket's venom is a curse, so it lasts until ended by the remove curse spell or comparable magic. Toxic Smoke The venomous mummy's poisonimbued wrappings and flesh create toxic fumes when burned. If a venomous mummy takes fire damage, it is surrounded by a cloud of toxic smoke in a 10-foot radius. This cloud persists for one full round. A creature that starts its turn inside the cloud or enters it for the first time on its turn takes 14 (4d6) poison damage, or half damage with a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw. Venomous Fist Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage.

Sun Sickness While in sunlight, the myconid has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. The myconid dies if it spends more than 1 hour in direct sunlight. Multiattack The myconid uses either its Deathcap Spores or its Slumber Spores, then makes a fist attack. Fist Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 3 rounds. While poisoned this way, the target also takes 10 (4d4) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Slumber Spores (3/day) The myconid ejects spores at one creature it can see within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned and unconscious for 1 minute. A creature wakes up if it takes damage, or if another creature uses its action to shake it awake.

Hit: 8 (2d6 + 1) slashing damage. Claw|4|2d6+1 Buried Alive If the myling starts its turn on its chosen burial ground, it sinks into the earth. If it has a creature grappled, that creature sinks with the myling. A Medium or larger creature sinks up to its waist; a Small creature sinks up to its neck. If the myling still has the victim grappled at the start of the myling's next turn, both of them disappear into the earth. While buried this way, a creature is considered stunned. It can free itself with a successful DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check, but only one check is allowed; if it fails, the creature is powerless to aid itself except with magic. The creature must also make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw; if it succeeds, the creature has a lungful of air and can hold its breath for (Constitution modifier + 1) minutes before suffocation begins. Otherwise, it begins suffocating immediately. Allies equipped with digging tools can reach it in four minutes divided by the number of diggers; someone using an improvised tool (a sword, a plate, bare hands) counts as only one-half of a digger.

She cannot alter either form's appearance or capabilities (with the exception of her breath weapon) using this ability, and damage sustained in one form transfers to the other form. Multiattack The naina makes two claw attacks and one bite attack. Bite (drake form only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d12 + 5) piercing damage. Bite (drake form only)|9|3d12+5 Claw (drake form only) Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d12 + 5) slashing damage. Claw (drake form only)|9|3d12+5 Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6) While in drake form (only), the naina breathes a 20-foot cone of poison gas, paralytic gas, or sleep gas. Poison A creature caught in this poison gas takes 18 (4d8) poison damage and is poisoned; a successful DC 17 Constitution saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the poisoned condition. While poisoned this way, the creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a failure, it takes 9 (2d8) poison damage and the poisoning continues; on a success, the poisoning ends. Paralysis A creature caught in this paralytic gas must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 2d4 rounds. A paralyzed creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns; a successful save ends the paralysis. Sleep A creature caught in this sleeping gas must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or fall unconscious for 6 rounds. A sleeping creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns; it wakes up if it makes the save successfully. Nichny M fey,tome of Beasts neutral evil 17 (natural armor) 112 (15d8+45) 30 ft., climb 30 ft. 17 19 17 18 18 19 Dex +7 Acrobatics +7, Insight +7, Perception +7 acid, cold, fire, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered poison charmed, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, unconscious darkvision 60 ft. 17 Elvish, Primordial, Sylvan, Void Speech 6 Freedom of Movement A nichny ignores difficult terrain and cannot be entangled, grappled, or otherwise impeded in its movements as if it is under the effect of a constant freedom of movement spell. This ability is negated for grapple attempts if the attacker is wearing gold or orichalcum gauntlets or using a gold or orichalcum chain as part of its attack. Imbue Luck (1/Day) Nichny can enchant a small gem or stone to bring good luck. If the nichny gives this lucky stone to another creature, the bearer receives a +1 bonus to all saving throws for 24 hours. Innate Spellcasting The nichny's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At Will: detect magic, invisibility, magic missile, ray of frost 3/day each: blink, dimension door, haste, polymorph (self only) 1/day each: teleport, word of recall Luck Aura A nichny is surrounded by an aura of luck. All creatures it considers friends within 10 feet of the nichny gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Creatures that it considers its enemies take a -1 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. The nichny can activate or suppress this aura on its turn as a bonus action. Magic Resistance The nichny has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Soothsaying Once per week, a nichny can answer up to three questions about the past, present, or future. All three questions must be asked before the nichny can give its answers, which are short and may be in the form of a paradox or riddle. One answer always is false, and the other two must be true. Multiattack The nichny makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d12 + 4) slashing damage. Claw|7|2d12+4 Nightgarm L monstrosity,tome of Beasts chaotic evil 15 (natural armor) 114 (12d10+48) 20 ft. (bipedal), 40 ft. (quadrupedal) 20 14 18 10 15 16 Perception +5, Stealth +5 radiant; silvered weapons lightning, thunder; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren't silvered darkvision 60 ft. 15 Common, Giant, Goblin, telepathy 200 ft. (with falsemen only) 6 Spawn Falseman If a nightgarm spends an entire round consuming a humanoid corpse, it immediately becomes pregnant. Nine hours later, it gives birth to a duplicate of the devoured creature. Known as a "falseman," this duplicate has all the memories and characteristics of the original but serves its mother loyally, somewhat similar to a familiar's relationship to a wizard. A nightgarm can have up to 14 falsemen under her control at a time. A nightgarm can communicate telepathically with its falsemen at ranges up to 200 feet. Distending Maw Like snakes, nightgarms can open their mouths far wider than other creatures of similar size. This ability grants it a formidable bite and allows it to swallow creatures up to Medium size. Superstitious A nightgarm must stay at least 5 feet away from a brandished holy symbol or a burning sprig of wolf's bane, and it cannot touch or make melee attacks against a creature holding one of these items. After 1 round, the nightgarm can make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw at the start of each of its turns; if the save succeeds, the nightgarm temporarily overcomes its superstition and these restrictions are lifted until the start of the nightgarm's next turn. Innate Spellcasting The nightgarm's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 3/day each: darkness, dissonant whispers, hold person 1/day each: conjure woodland beings (wolves only), dimension door, scrying (targets falsemen only) Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (4d10 + 5) piercing damage, and a Medium or smaller target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be swallowed whole. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained and has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the nightgarm. It takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the nightgarm's turns. A nightgarm can have only one creature swallowed at a time. If the nightgarm takes 25 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the nightgarm must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone within 5 feet of the nightgarm. If the nightgarm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone. Bite|8|4d10+5 Nkosi M humanoid (shapechanger,tome of Beasts nkosi), lawful neutral 15 (studded leather) 11 (2d8+2) 30 ft. 16 16 12 10 10 8 Survival +2 darkvision 60 ft. 10 Common 1/2 Shapechanger The nkosi can use its action to polymorph into a Medium lion or back into its true form. While in lion form, the nkosi can't speak, and its speed is 50 feet. Other than its speed, its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Keen Smell The nkosi has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Hunter's Maw If the nkosi moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a scimitar attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is knocked prone, the nkosi can immediately make one bite attack against it as a bonus action. Scimitar (Nkosi Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage. Scimitar (Nkosi Form Only)|5|1d6+3 Mambele Throwing Knife (Nkosi Form Only) Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target.

While in lion form, the nkosi can't speak and its walking speed is 50 feet. Other than its speed, its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Keen Smell The nkosi has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Brute A melee weapon deals one extra die of damage when the pridelord hits with it (included in the attack). Hunter's Maw If the nkosi moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a scimitar attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the nkosi can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action. Multiattack The pridelord makes two attacks with its scimitar or with its mambele throwing knife. Scimitar (Nkosi Form Only) Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage. Scimitar (Nkosi Form Only)|6|2d6+4 Mambele Throwing Knife (Nkosi Form Only) Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage.

Bite|6|2d6+4 Pridelord's Roar (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest) Each nkosi of the pridelord's choice that is within 30 feet of it and can hear it can immediately use its reaction to make a bite attack. The pridelord can then make one bite attack as a bonus action. Nkosi War Ostrich L beast,tome of Beasts unaligned 11 42 (5d10+15) 60 ft. 15 12 16 2 10 5 10 - 1/2 Standing Leap The ostrich can jump horizontally up to 20 feet and vertically up to 10 feet, with or without a running start. Battle Leaper If a riderless ostrich jumps at least 10 feet and lands within 5 feet of a creature, it has advantage on attacks against that creature this turn. Multiattack The ostrich makes two kicking claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. Claw|4|1d8+2 Noctiny M humanoid (noctiny),tome of Beasts neutral evil 13 (studded leather armor) 52 (8d8+16) 30 ft. 12 13 14 10 11 16 frightened 10 Common, plus the language spoken by the noctini's fext master 2 Magic Resistance The noctiny has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Pact Wrath One of the noctiny's weapons is infused with power. Its attacks with this weapon count as magical, and it adds its Charisma bonus to the weapon's damage (included below). Spellcasting The noctiny is a 3rd-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability score is Charisma (save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). It knows the following warlock spells. Cantrips (at will): chill touch, eldritch blast, poison spray 1st level (4 slots): armor of agathys, charm person, hellish rebuke, hex 2nd level (2 slots): crown of madness, misty step Multiattack The noctiny makes two melee attacks. Pact Staff Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage or 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage if used in two hands. Pact Staff|3|1d6+4 Oculo Swarm L swarm of Tiny aberrations,tome of Beasts neutral evil 15 110 (13d10+39) 5 ft., fly 40 ft. (hover) 10 20 16 8 15 17 Insight +6, Perception +6, Stealth +7 bludgeoning, piercing, slashing charmed, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, prone, restrained, stunned darkvision 60 ft. 16 understands Common but can't speak 4 Swarm The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening at least 2 inches square. The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points. Eye Extraction Every creature that occupies the same space as the swarm must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become temporarily blinded as their eyes strain from their sockets. This blindness lasts for as long as the affected creature remains in the same space as the oculus; it ends at the end of the blinded creature's turn if the creature is out of the oculus's space. Also, any cure spell cast on the blinded creature ends the temporary blindness, but not restoration spells. If a creature that's already temporarily blinded is targeted again by eye extraction and fails the saving throw, that creature becomes permanently blind as its eyes are pulled from their sockets to join the swarm (causing 1d8 piercing damage). Success on either saving throw renders that creature immune to eye extraction for 24 hours (but it still doesn't recover its sight until it gets out of the swarm). An oculo swarm with 50 or fewer hit points can't use this ability. Gaze (recharge 5-6) The swarm targets every creature in its space with a gaze attack. The swarm can choose one of two effects for the attack: confusion or hold person. Every target in the swarm's space is affected unless it makes a successful DC 14 Charisma saving throw. Even creatures that avert their eyes or are blind can be affected by an oculus swarm's gaze. The confusion or hold person effect lasts 1d4 rounds. Oozasis G ooze,tome of Beasts unaligned 7 217 (14d20+70) 20 ft., climb 20 ft., swim 20 ft. 18 5 20 12 22 18 Int +5, Wis +10, Cha +8 Deception +8, History +5, Insight +10, Perception +10 thunder fire, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons acid blinded, charmed, deafened, exhaustion, frightened, prone blindsight 60 ft. (blind beyond this radius), tremorsense 120 ft. 20 understands all languages but can't speak, telepathy 120 ft. 9 Amorphous The oozasis can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. Mirage As a bonus action, the oozasis can create a mirage around itself to lure victims toward it while disguising its true nature. This functions as the mirage arcane spell (save DC 16) but is nonmagical, and therefore can't be detected using detect magic or similar magic, and can't be dispelled. Waters of Unfathomable Compulsion Any creature that drinks the water of an oozasis or eats fruit from the plants growing in it has a dream (as the spell, save DC 16) the next time it sleeps. In this dream, the oozasis places a compulsion to carry out some activity as a torrent of images and sensations. When the creature awakens, it is affected by a geas spell (save DC 16, cast as a 7th-level spell) in addition to the effects of dream. Multiattack The oozasis makes two pseudopod attacks. Pseudopod Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 10 (3d6) acid damage, and a target that's Large or smaller is grappled (escape DC 16) and restrained until the grapple ends. The oozasis has two pseudopods, each of which can grapple one target at a time. Pseudopod|8|2d8+4 Engulf The oozasis engulfs creatures grappled by it. An engulfed creature can't breathe, is restrained, is no longer grappled, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the oozasis, takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the oozasis's turns, and is subject to the oozasis's Waters of Unfathomable Compulsion trait. The creature takes no damage if the oozasis chooses not to inflict any. When the oozasis moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. An engulfed creature can escape by using an action and making a successful DC 16 Strength check. On a success, the creature enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the oozasis. Vapors of Tranquility or Turmoil (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest) The oozasis sublimates its waters into a vapor that fills a disk centered on the oozasis, 60 feet in radius, and 10 feet thick. All creatures in the area are affected by either the calm emotions spell or the confusion spell (save DC 16). The oozasis chooses which effect to use, and it must be the same for all creatures. Corrupting Ooze L ooze,tome of Beasts neutral evil 12 (natural armor) 115 (10d10+60) 20 ft., swim 30 ft. 16 10 22 4 2 1 Stealth +3 slashing, bludgeoning acid, fire, poison exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned blindsight 60 ft., tremorsense 60 ft. 5 - 5 Corrupting Touch When a corrupting ooze scores a critical hit or starts its turn with a foe grappled, it can dissolve one leather, metal, or wood item of its choosing in the possession of the target creature. A mundane item is destroyed automatically; a magical item is destroyed if its owner fails to make a successful DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. Strong Swimmer A corrupting ooze naturally floats on the surface of water. It swims with a pulsating motion that propels it faster than walking speed. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) acid damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Slam|6|2d8+3 Ostinato M aberration,tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 15 39 (6d8+12) fly 50 ft. (hover) 1 20 15 5 12 17 Perception +3 thunder acid, cold, fire, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons poison charmed, exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, unconscious darkvision 60 ft. 13 telepathy 200 ft. 4 Incorporeal Movement The ostinato can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. Invisibility The ostinato is invisible as per a greater invisibility spell. Magic Resistance The ostinato has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Multiattack The ostinato makes two cacophony ray attacks. Cacophony Ray Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3d6) thunder damage. Cacophony Ray|7|3d6 Aural Symbiosis (1/Day) One humanoid that the ostinato can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or the ostinato merges with it, becoming an enjoyable, repetitive tune in its host's mind. The ostinato can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect. The target retains control of its body and is aware of the ostinato's presence only as a melody, not as a living entity. The target no longer needs to eat or drink, gains the ostinato's Magic Resistance trait, and has advantage on Charisma checks. It also has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws and it can't maintain concentration on spells or other effects for more than a single turn. The target can make a DC 13 Wisdom (Insight) check once every 24 hours; on a success, it realizes that the music it hears comes from an external entity. The Aural Symbiosis lasts until the target drops to 0 hit points, the ostinato ends it as a bonus action, or the ostinato is forced out by a dispel evil and good spell or comparable magic. When the Aural Symbiosis ends, the ostinato bursts forth in a thunderous explosion of sound and reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target. All creatures within 60 feet, including the original target, take 21 (6d6) thunder damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw. The target becomes immune to this ostinato's Aural Symbiosis for 24 hours if it succeeds on the saving throw or after the Aural Symbiosis ends. Voracious Aura (1/Day) While merged with a humanoid (see Aural Symbiosis), the ostinato feeds on nearby creatures. Up to nine creatures of the ostinato's choice within 60 feet of it can be targeted. Each target must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or take 3 (1d6) necrotic damage and have its hit point maximum reduced by the same amount until it finishes a long rest. The target dies if its maximum hit points are reduced to 0. Victims notice this damage immediately, but not its source. Pombero M fey,tome of Beasts chaotic neutral 15 (natural armor) 90 (12d8+36) 30 ft. 17 16 16 8 10 14 Athletics +5, Sleight of Hand +5, Stealth +5 darkvision 60 ft. 10 Sylvan 3 Beast's Voice The pombero can magically speak with any beast and can perfectly mimic beast sounds. Twisted Limbs The pombero can twist and squeeze itself through a space small enough for a Tiny bird to pass through as if it were difficult terrain. Sneak Attack (1/turn) The pombero does an extra 7 (2d6) damage with a weapon attack when it has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of the pombero that isn't incapacitated and the pombero doesn't have disadvantage on the roll. Soft Step The pombero has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks in forest terrain. Multiattack The pombero uses Charming Touch if able, and makes two fist attacks. Fist Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Fist|5|2d6+3 Charming Touch (recharge 5-6) The pombero chooses a creature it can see within 5 feet. The creature must make a successful DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed for 10 minutes. The effect ends if the charmed creature takes damage. The pombero can have only one creature at a time charmed with this ability. If it charms a new creature, the previous charm effect ends immediately. Invisibility The pombero becomes invisible until it chooses to end the effect as a bonus action, or when it attacks. Possessed Pillar L construct,tome of Beasts unaligned 14 (natural armor) 95 (10d10+40) 20 ft. 20 8 19 3 11 1 poison, psychic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren't adamantine charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned darkvision 120 ft. 10 understands the languages of its creator but can't speak 7 Immutable Form The pillar is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. Magic Resistance The pillar has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons The pillar's weapon attacks are magical. Steal Weapons The eldritch magic that powers the pillar produces a magnetic power that seizes metal objects that touch it, including metal weapons. When a creature successfully strikes the pillar with a metal melee weapon, the attacker must make a successful DC 15 Strength or Dexterity saving throw or the weapon becomes stuck to the pillar until the pillar releases it or is destroyed. The saving throw uses the same ability as the attack used. The pillar can release all metal weapons stuck to it whenever it wants. A pillar always drops all weapons stuck to it when it believes it's no longer threatened. This ability affects armor only during a grapple. False Appearance While the pillar remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a statue or a carved column. Multiattack The pillar makes two slam attacks. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. Slam|8|3d8+5 Putrid Haunt M undead,tome of Beasts neutral evil 13 (natural armor) 44 (8d8+8) 30 ft. 17 8 13 6 11 6 bludgeoning and piercing from nonmagical weapons poison charmed, exhaustion, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 10 - 2 Dead Still Treat a putrid haunt as invisible while it's buried in swamp muck. Swamp Shamble Putrid haunts suffer no movement penalties in marshy terrain. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. Slam|5|2d8+3 Vomit Leeches (Recharge 6) A putrid haunt can vomit forth the contents of its stomach onto a target within 5 feet. Along with the bile and mud from its stomach, this includes 2d6 undead leeches that attach to the target. A creature takes 1 necrotic damage per leech on it at the start of the creature's turn, and the putrid haunt gains the same number of temporary hit points. As an action, a creature can remove or destroy 1d3 leeches from itself or an adjacent ally. Qwyllion M aberration,tome of Beasts neutral evil 16 (natural armor) 110 (13d8+52) 30 ft. 12 20 19 12 13 16 Dex +8, Cha +6 Acrobatics +11, Perception +4 acid, cold, fire, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons darkvision 60 ft. 14 Common, Goblin, Infernal, Sylvan, Void Speech 8 Disruptive Because of the qwyllion's nauseating nature, spellcasters have disadvantage on concentration checks while within 40 feet of the qwyllion. Nauseating Aura The qwyllion is nauseatingly corrupt. Any creature that starts its turn within 20 feet of the qwyllion must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1d8 rounds. If a creature that's already poisoned by this effect fails the saving throw again, it becomes incapacitated instead, and a creature already incapacitated by the qwyllion drops to 0 hit points if it fails the saving throw. A successful saving throw renders a creature immune to the effect for 24 hours. Creatures dominated by the qwyllion are immune to this effect. Multiattack The qwyllion uses its deadly gaze if it can, and makes two claw attacks. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d12 + 5) slashing damage. Claw|8|3d12+5 Deadly Gaze (recharge 5-6) The qwyllion turns its gaze against a single creature within 20 feet of the qwyllion. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 16 (3d8 + 3) necrotic damage and be incapacitated until the start of the qwyllion's next turn. A humanoid slain by a qwyllion's death gaze rises 2d4 hours later as a specter under the qwyllion's control. Innate Spellcasting The qwyllion's innate casting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 3/day each: dominate person (range 20 feet), shatter Ramag M humanoid (ramag),tome of Beasts neutral 13 (leather armor) 27 (6d8) 30 ft. 9 14 10 16 12 11 Arcana +5, Investigation +5 11 Common 1/4 Magic Resistance The ramag has advantage on saving throws against spells or other magical effects.

Plague of Ill Omen The rat king radiates a magical aura of misfortune in a 30-foot radius. A foe of the rat king that starts its turn in the aura must make a successful DC 14 Charisma saving throw or be cursed with bad luck until the start of its next turn. When a cursed character makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, it must subtract 1d4 from the result. Multiattack The rat king makes four bite attacks. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage, and a bitten creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be infected with a disease. A diseased creature gains one level of exhaustion immediately. When the creature finishes a long rest, it must repeat the saving throw. On a failure, the creature gains another level of exhaustion. On a success, the disease does not progress. The creature recovers from the disease if its saving throw succeeds after two consecutive long rests or if it receives a lesser restoration spell or comparable magic. The creature then recovers from one level of exhaustion after each long rest. Bite|6|2d6+3 Summon Swarm (1/Day) The rat king summons three swarms of rats. The swarms appear immediately within 60 feet of the rat king. They can appear in spaces occupied by other creatures. The swarms act as allies of the rat king. They remain for 1 hour or until the rat king dies. Absorption When the rat king does damage to a rat or rat swarm, it can absorb the rat, or part of the swarm, into its own mass. The rat king regains hit points equal to the damage it did to the rat or swarm.

If no other target is in the attack's range or reach, the attack is still made (and ammunition or a spell slot is expended, if appropriate) but it automatically misses and has no effect.

The restrained creature must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a failure, the creature is compelled to sing a lament of all its various mistakes and misdeeds for as long as it remains restrained.

Red Cap The redcap must soak its cap in the blood of a humanoid killed no more than an hour ago at least once every three days.

Slam|5|2d6+2 Frightful Presence Each creature of the sarcophagus slime's choice that is within 60 feet of the sarcophagus slime and aware of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the sarcophagus slime's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Corrupting Gaze The sarcophagus slime targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the sarcophagus slime, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) necrotic damage and its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. If this effect reduces a creature's hit point maximum to 0, the creature dies and its corpse becomes a sarcophagus slime within 24 hours. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest or until it is affected by greater restoration or comparable magic.

If a creature's saving throw succeeds, it is immune to the sathaq worm's Agonizing Aura for the next 24 hours. Earth Glide The sathaq worm can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone.

A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the worm, and takes 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) acid damage at the start of each of the sathaq worm's turns. The sathaq worm can have only one creature swallowed at a time. If the sathaq worm takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the sathaq worm must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the swallowed creature, which falls prone in a space within 5 feet of the sathaq worm. If the sathaq worm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone.

An unconscious creature wakes if it takes damage, or if a creature uses its action to shake it awake. Alien Piping A selang can confuse and injure its enemies by playing weird, ear-bending harmonies on alien pipes, made from the beaks, cartilage, and throat sacs of a dorreq. When the selang plays a tune on these pipes, all creatures within 60 feet must make a successful DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be affected by contagion, confusion, irresistible dance, or hideous laughter, depending on what alien and otherworldly music the dark satyr chooses to play. A creature that saves successfully against this psychic effect is immune to the piping for 24 hours. The selang can use each of these spell-like effects once per day.

Creatures in the cone must make DC 13 Dexterity saving throws. If the save succeeds, the creature moves to the nearest empty space outside the cone; if the saving throw fails, the creature becomes drenched in musk. A creature that enters the area of the cone while the musk persists is saturated automatically. A creature saturated in musk is poisoned. In addition, every creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of a saturated creature must make a successful DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. Serpopard musk (and the poisoning) wear off naturally in 1d4 hours. A saturated creature can end the effect early by spending 20 minutes thoroughly washing itself, its clothes, and its equipment with water and soap.

Magic Resistance The shabti has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magic Weapons The shabti's weapon attacks are magical. Serpentine Armlets As a bonus action, the shabti commands its armlets to drop to the floor, whereupon they become two giant poisonous snakes. The shabti can mentally direct the serpents (this does not require an action). If the snakes are killed, they dissolve into wisps of smoke which reform around the shabti's forearms, and they can't be turned into snakes for 1 week. These armlets are linked to the shabti at the time of its creation and do not function for other creatures. Multiattack The shabti uses Telekinesis and makes two attacks with its nabboot. Nabboot Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d4 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with tomb taint. The cursed target's speed is reduced to half, and its hit point maximum decreases by 3 (1d6) for every 24 hours that elapse. If the curse reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies and its body turns to dust. The curse lasts until removed by the remove curse spell or comparable magic. Nabboot|8|1d4+5 Telekinesis The shabti targets a creature within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength check or the shabti moves it up to 30 feet in any direction (including upward), and it is restrained until the end of the shabti's next turn.

Creatures within 60 feet that can hear the shadhavar must make a successful DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the start of the shadhavar's next turn. A creature charmed in this way is incapacitated, its speed is reduced to 0, and a shadhavar has advantage on attack rolls against it. Shadesight A shadhavar's darkvision functions in magical darkness. Multiattack A shadhavar makes one gore attack and one hooves attack. Gore Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

If the creature takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the monster's next turn.

Stealthy Observer The shellycoat has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide and any Perception checks that rely on hearing.

It can exist with equal comfort at the bottom of the ocean or in the vacuum of outer space. Absorb Flesh The body of a creature that dies while grappled by a shoggoth is completely absorbed into the shoggoth's mass. No portion of it remains to be used in raise dead, reincarnate, and comparable spells that require touching the dead person's body. Amorphous A shoggoth can move through a space as small as 1 foot wide. It must spend 1 extra foot of movement for every foot it moves through a space smaller than itself, but it isn't subject to any other penalties for squeezing. Hideous Piping The fluting noises made by a shoggoth are otherworldly and mind-shattering. A creature that can hear this cacophony at the start of its turn and is within 120 feet of a shoggoth must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be confused (as the spell confusion) for 1d4 rounds. Creatures that roll a natural 20 on this saving throw become immune to the Hideous Piping for 24 hours. Otherwise, characters who meet the conditions must repeat the saving throw every round. Keen Senses A shoggoth has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. Rolling Charge If the shoggoth moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and hits it with a slam attack on the same turn, that creature must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. If the creature is knocked prone, the shoggoth immediately moves into the creature's space as a bonus action and crushes the creature beneath its bulk. The crushed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 11 (2d10) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of the shoggoth's turns. A crushed creature remains in its space and does not move with the shoggoth. A crushed creature can escape by using an action and making a successful DC 19 Strength check. On a success, the creature crawls into an empty space within 5 feet of the shoggoth. Multiattack The shoggoth makes 1d4 + 1 slam attacks. Reroll the number of attacks at the start of each of the shoggoth's turns. Slam Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18) and restrained.

Shadow Evolution Shrouds instantly become shadows once they cause a total of 12 damage. Any damage they've suffered is subtracted from the shadow's total hit points or abilities. Shroud Stealth When in dim light or darkness, the shroud can take the Hide action as a bonus action. Sunlight Weakness While in sunlight, the shroud has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. Strength Drain Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) necrotic damage, and the target's Strength score is reduced by one-half that amount. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, a new shadow rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later. Strength Drain|3|1d4+1 Skein Witch M celestial,tome of Beasts neutral 20 (natural armor) 162 (25d8+50) 30 ft., fly 30 ft. 6 12 14 16 20 20 Int +8, Wis +10, Cha +10 History +8, Insight +15, Perception +15 radiant fire, lightning, psychic truesight 60 ft. 25 Celestial, telepathy (100 ft.) 12 Bend Fate (3/day) If the skein witch fails a saving throw, she may choose to succeed instead and reflect the effect of the failed saving throw onto one enemy within 30 feet. The skein witch still suffers the effect of a successful saving throw, if any. The new target is entitled to a saving throw as if it were the original target of the attack, but with disadvantage. Fear All Cards If a deck of many things is brought within 30 feet of a skein witch, she emits a psychic wail and disintegrates. Magic Resistance The skein witch has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Misty Step (At Will) The skein witch can step between places as a bonus action. Sealed Destiny (1/Day) The skein witch attunes herself to the threads of the PCs' fates. Ask each player to write down their prediction of how the PC to their left will die, and at what level. Collect the notes without revealing the answers. When one of those PCs dies, reveal the prediction. If the character died in the manner predicted, they fulfill their destiny and are immediately resurrected by the gods as a reward. If they died at or within one level of the prediction, they return to life with some useful insight into the destiny of someone important. Multiattack The skein witch makes two Inexorable Thread attacks. Inexorable Threads Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (5d8 + 5) radiant damage, and the target is "one step closer to death." If the target is reduced to 0 hit points, it's treated as if it's already failed one death saving throw. This effect is cumulative; each inexorable threads hit adds one unsuccessful death saving throw. If a character who's been hit three or more times by inexorable threads is reduced to 0 hit points, he or she dies immediately. This effect lasts until the character completes a long rest. Inexorable Threads|9|5d8+5 Bind Fates (1/Day) One target within 60 feet of the skein witch must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target's fate is bound to one random ally of the target. Any damage or condition the target suffers is inflicted on the individual to which they are bound instead, and vice versa. A creature can be bound to only one other creature at a time. This effect lasts until either of the affected creatures gains a level, or until a heal or heroes' feast lifts this binding. Destiny Distortion Wave (Recharge 5-6) The skein witch projects a 60-foot cone of distortion that frays the strands of fate. All targets in the cone take 55 (10d10) force damage, or half damage with a successful DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. In addition, if more than one target that failed its saving throw is affected by a condition, those conditions are randomly redistributed among the targets with failed saving throws.

The skeleton dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate, or if the duskthorn dryad who created it dies, or if the troll's heart inside the dryad's or treant's tree is destroyed. Multiattack The skeleton makes one bite attack and two claw attacks. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) piercing damage.

(blind beyond this radius) 8 - 4 Broken Shell A creature that hits the skitterhaunt with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 5 (1d10) acid damage. Infest Vermin If the skitterhaunt damages a Medium or smaller beast, it can try to infest it as a bonus action. The damaged creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw against disease or become poisoned until the disease is cured. Every 24 hours that elapse, the target must repeat the saving throw, reducing its hit point maximum by 5 (1d10) on a failure. If the disease reduces its hit point maximum to 0, the skitterhaunt has devoured the creature's insides and the affected becomes a skitterhaunt, retaining its outward shell but replacing its flesh with skitterhaunt ooze. Multiattack The skitterhaunt makes two claw attacks and one sting attack. Claw Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) slashing damage plus 5 (1d10) acid damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 12). The skitterhaunt has two claws, each of which can grapple one target.

In addition to 1d4 Dexterity drain, any creature caught within the slow storm's breath weapon that fails another DC 18 Constitution save suffers crushing pain in bones and joints.

The speech and actions of an inhabited creature are noticeably jerky and erratic to any creature with passive Perception 14 or higher. Each time the spark uses innate spellcasting, the host can attempt another DC 14 Charisma saving throw.

Web Sense While in contact with a web, the j'ba fofi knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web. Web Walker The j'ba fofi ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

If the creature wins, it can immediately move 5 feet away from the sand spider. If the contest results in a tie, the creature is grappled (escape DC 15). If the sand spider wins, the creature is grappled and dragged by the sand spider 30 feet into its lair.

Powerful Leap The stuhac can jump three times the normal distance: 66 feet horizontally or 27 feet vertically with a running start, or half those distances from a stationary start. Shapechanger The stuhac can use its action to polymorph into one of two forms: that of an elderly humanoid male, and its natural form. It cannot alter either form's appearance or capabilities using this ability, and damage sustained in one form transfers to the other form.

Sew Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the suturefly sews the target's mouth, nose, or eye closed. With supernatural speed, the suturefly repeatedly pierces the target's face, each time threading a loop of the target's own skin through the previous hole. These skin loops rapidly blacken, shrink, and draw the orifice tightly closed. It takes two actions and a sharp blade to sever the loops and reopen the orifice, and the process causes intense pain and 2 slashing damage. A victim whose mouth and nose have been sewn shut begins suffocating at the start of his or her next turn.

Illumination The swarm sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light to an additional 30 feet. Swarm The swarm can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny creature.

The swarm can't regain hit points or gain temporary hit points. Glittering Carapace The glossy, iridescent carapaces of the beetles in the swarm scatter and tint light in a dazzling exhibition of colors. In bright light, a creature within 30 feet that looks at the prismatic beetle swarm must make a successful DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also knocked unconscious. Unless it's surprised, a creature can avoid the saving throw by choosing to avert its eyes at the start of its turn. A creature that averts its eyes can't see the swarm until the start of its next turn, when it can choose to avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the swarm in the meantime, it must immediately make the saving throw. The saving throw is made with advantage if the swarm of prismatic beetles is in dim light, and this ability has no effect if the swarm is in darkness. Bites Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature in the swarm's space. Hit: 10 (4d4) piercing damage, or 5 (2d4) piercing damage if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer.

Those that fail the saving throw also gain one level of exhaustion and become frightened until the start of the swarm's next turn. Chilling Howl As a bonus action on its first turn of combat, the wolf spirit swarm howls, emitting an unnatural and eerie cacophony that chills the blood. All creatures within 300 feet that hear the howl must make a successful DC 12 Charisma saving throw or be frightened until the start of the swarm's next turn.

Each target in the area takes 39 (6d12) cold damage, or half damage with a successful DC 17 Constitution saving throw. Algid Aura All creatures within 10 feet of a thuellai take 7 (2d6) cold damage at the beginning of the thuellai's turn. Spells or magical effects that protect against cold are affected as if by a dispel magic spell (the theullai's effective spellcasting bonus is +5) if a thuellai is within 20 feet of the target at the start of the theullai's turn, and nonmagical flames within 20 feet of the thuellai are extinguished at the start of its turn. Howl of the Maddening Wind (3/day) A thuellai's howl can cause creatures to temporarily lose their minds and even to attack themselves or their companions. Each target within 100 feet of the theullai and able to hear the howl must make a successful DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or roll 1d8 and consult the table below at the start of its next turn. An affected creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns; a success ends the effect on itself, but a failure means it must roll again on the table below at the start of its next turn. 1 - Act normally 2-4 - Do nothing but babble incoherently 5-6 - Do 1d8 damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand 7-8 - Attack nearest target; select randomly if more than one Blizzard (1/Day) The thuellai creates an icy blizzard in the area around it. A 50-foot radius sphere surrounding the theullai fills with icy fog, whirling snow, and driving ice crystals. Vision is lightly obscured, and creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on vision or hearing. The ground in the affected area becomes difficult terrain. The effect lasts for 10 minutes and moves with the theullai.

This rupture appears at a spot designated by the titan within 100 feet. Any creature within 60 feet of the spot must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 28 (8d6) force damage, falls prone, and is pulled 1d6 x 10 feet toward the eldritch singularity, taking an additional 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage per 10 feet they were dragged. If the saving throw succeeds, the target takes half as much force damage and isn't knocked prone or pulled. The spot where the rupture occurs becomes the center of a 60-foot-radius antimagic field until the end of the ancient titan's next turn. The titan's spells are not affected by this antimagic field.

Rock|10|4d10+7 Earthstrike (Recharge 4-6) The degenerate titan slams his fists onto the ground, creating a shockwave in a line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide. Each creature in the line takes 35 (10d6) force damage and is flung up 20 feet away from the titan and knocked prone; a successful DC 18 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage and prevents the creature from being flung or knocked prone. A creature that's flung against an unyielding object such as a wall or floor takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If it collides with another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage (1d6 bludgeoning per 10 feet) and be knocked prone. Shout of the Void (Recharge 4-6) The degenerate titan utters a scream that rends reality in a 30-foot cone. Any ongoing spell or magical effect of 3rd level or lower in the area ends. For every spell or effect of 4th level or higher in the area, the degenerate titan makes a Constitution check against DC (10 + the level of the spell or effect). On a success, the spell or effect ends.

Sparkling Scales The titanoboa's scales refract light in iridescent cascades that are hypnotic to gaze upon. If the titanoboa is in bright light, a creature within 30 feet that looks at it must make a successful DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn. Unless surprised, a creature can avoid the saving throw by choosing to avert its eyes at the start of its turn. A creature that averts its eyes can't see the titanoboa until the start of its next turn, when it can choose to avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the titanoboa in the meantime, it must immediately make the saving throw. Multiattack The titanoboa makes one bite attack and one constrict attack. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d8 + 8) piercing damage. If the target is a Huge or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the titanoboa. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the snake, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the titanoboa's turns. If the titanoboa takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the titanoboa must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the titanoboa. If the titanoboa dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone. Bite|13|3d8+8 Constrict Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (3d12 + 8) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18).

Burning Belly Creatures inside a tophet's burning core take 21 (6d6) fire damage at the start of each of the tophet's turns. Escaping from a tophet's belly takes 10 feet of movement and a successful DC 16 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. Multiattack A tophet makes two attacks, no more than one of which can be a gout of flame.

Tosculi Hive-Queen L monstrosity,tome of Beasts lawful evil 17 157 (15d10+75) 40 ft., fly 60 ft. 17 24 20 16 16 18 Dex +12, Con +10, Wis +8, Cha +9 Perception +8 poison charmed, poisoned darkvision 60 ft. 18 Common, Deep Speech, Gnoll, Infernal, Tosculi 12 Legendary Resistance (3/Day) If the hive-queen fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead. Hive Mind The hive-queen is the psychic nexus for every tosculi in her hive. She is aware of the direction and distance to all members of the hive, can telepathically communicate with them when they are within 20 miles, and can sense what they sense when they are within 1 mile of her. Tosculi from her hive that travel more than 20 miles away instinctively know the direction and distance to the hive and try to return. Hive-queens sometimes dispatch rescue missions to recover separated members of the hive. Hive Queen Lair On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the hive-queen takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects: - The tosculi hive-queen releases a cloud of pheromones that drives the tosculi to fight harder. All tosculi within 60 feet of the hive-queen (including the hive-queen herself) regain 7 (2d6) hit points. - A swarm of tiny tosculi offspring crawls from its nest and attacks a creature within 120 feet of the hive-queen, automatically doing 10 (4d4) piercing damage. Then the swarm dies. - The ceiling above one creature that the hive-queen can see within 120 feet of her drips sticky resin. The creature must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be encased in rapidly-hardening resin. A creature encased this way is restrained. It can free itself, or another creature within 5 feet can free it, by using an action to make a successful DC 15 Strength check. If the creature is still encased the next time the initiative count reaches 20, the resin hardens, trapping it. The trapped creature can’t move or speak; attack rolls against it have disadvantage because it is encased in resin armor; it automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws; and it has resistance to all damage. The trapped creature is released when the resin is destroyed (AC 10, 20 HP, immune to cold, fire, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, and piercing damage). The tosculi hive-queen can’t repeat an effect until they have all been used, and she can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row. Regional Effects The region containing a tosculi hive-queen’s lair is warped by the creature’s presence, which creates one or more of the following effects: - Intelligent creatures within 6 miles suffer frequent headaches. It’s as if they had a constant buzzing inside their heads. - Beasts within 6 miles are more irritable and violent than usual and have the Blood Frenzy trait:The beast has advantage on melee attack rolls against a creature that doesn’t have all its hit points. If the tosculi hive-queen dies, the buzzing disappears immediately, and the beasts go back to normal within 1d10 days. Multiattack The hive-queen makes four scimitar attacks. Scimitar Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage. Scimitar|12|2d6+7 Stinger Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (1d6 + 7) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. A paralyzed target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Stinger|12|1d6+7 Glitter Dust The hive-queen produces a cloud of glittering golden particles in a 30-foot radius. Each creature that is not a tosculi in the area must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A blinded creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Implant Egg The hive-queen implants an egg into an incapacitated creature within 5 feet of her that is neither undead nor a construct. Until the egg hatches or is removed, the creature is poisoned, paralyzed, and does not need to eat or drink. The egg hatches in 1d6 weeks, and the larval tosculi kills the host creature. The implanted egg can be removed with a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check or by a spell or magical effect that cures disease. The hive-queen can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below Only one option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The hive.queen regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Flight The hive-queen flies up to half its flying speed. Stinger Attack The hive-queen makes one stinger attack. Glitter Dust (Costs 2 Actions) The hive-queen uses Glitter Dust.

Stinger|7|1d4+5 Prepare Host Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one paralyzed creature. Hit: 10 (2d4 + 5) piercing damage, and the target is paralyzed for 8 hours. The paralysis can be ended with a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check or by a spell or magical effect that cures disease.

It can move up to 5 feet horizontally for every foot it falls. The tosculi drone can't gain height with these wings alone. If subjected to a strong wind or lift of any kind, it can use the updraft to glide farther. Skittering Up to two tosculi can share the same space at one time. The tosculi has advantage on melee attack rolls while sharing its space with another tosculi that isn't incapacitated. Claws Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

It uses Charisma (Deception) to oppose Wisdom (Insight or Perception) skill checks made to see through its ruse, and it has advantage on its check. Reshape The treacle assumes the shape of any tiny creature or object. A reshaped treacle gains the movement of its new form but no other special qualities. Blood Drain (1/hour) A treacle touching the skin of a warm.blooded creature inflicts 4 (1d8) necrotic damage per hour of contact, and the victim's maximum hit points are reduced by the same number. Blood is drained so slowly that the victim doesn't notice the damage unless he or she breaks contact with the treacle (sets it down or hands it to someone else, for example). When contact is broken, the victim notices blood on his or her skin or clothes with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Perception) check.

Treespeech A weeping treant can converse with plants, and most plants greet them with a friendly or helpful attitude.

These tears are highly acidic - anyone who attacks the treant from a range of 5 feet or less must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 6 (1d12) acid damage from splashed tears. This acidic matter continues doing 6 (1d12) acid damage at the start of each of the creature's turns until it or an adjacent ally uses an action to wipe off the tears or three rounds elapse.

Afterward, no matter how great the distance between them, the uraeus knows the distance and direction to its bonded ward and is aware of the creature's general state of health. The bond lasts until the uraeus or the ward dies, or the uraeus ends the bond as an action. Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

It can cast the following spell, requiring no material components: 3/day: gaseous form Smoky Constitution The vapor lynx spends its time in both gaseous and solid form.

Vesiculosa G plant,tome of Beasts unaligned 15 (natural armor) 203 (14d20+56) 0 ft., burrow 5 ft. 20 10 19 2 14 2 Perception +6 fire, bludgeoning, piercing charmed, blinded, deafened, frightened, prone tremorsense 60 ft. 16 - 11 False Appearance While the vesiculosa remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal pool of water. Rich Sapphire Heartvine A vesiculosa's heartvine resembles a lump of sapphire and is highly prized by alchemists (worth 1,000 gp). It can be reached with an hour or two of hard digging. Rootlet Swarms The vesiculosa is surrounded at all times by four Medium swarms of Tiny rootlets that move as the vesiculosa directs. Each swarm has a speed of 30 feet, can be targeted independently, has 25 hit points, and (unlike the parent plant) quite vulnerable to fire damage. Other than that, they have the same statistics as the vesiculosa's main body. For each swarm that drops to 0 hit points, the vesiculosa loses one of its Entrap attacks. A destroyed swarm regrows in 24 hours. Sweet Water The vesiculosa's pool emits a sweet fragrance that lures creatures to drink. Creatures that are neither undead nor constructs within 60 feet must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to approach the vesiculosa and drink. The water is cool and refreshing but carries a sleeping poison: any creature (other than undead and constructs) that drinks from it regains 1d4 hp and recovers from 1 level of exhaustion, but must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw against poison or fall unconscious for 1 minute. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is unconscious for 1 hour. An unconscious creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature uses an action to shake it awake. Verdant The vesiculosa's sap seeps into the soil, promoting lush vegetation. At any given time, 3d6 beneficial fruits (fruit, nuts, figs, dates) can be found within 30 feet of the vesiculosa. These have the same effect as berries from a goodberry spell, but they retain their potency for one week after being picked or after the vesiculosa is killed. Multiattack The vesiculosa uses Entrap 4 times, and uses Reel and Engulf once each. It loses one Entrap attack for each rootlet swarm that's been destroyed. Entrap The vesiculosa targets a Large or smaller creature within 5 feet of one of its rootlet swarms. The target takes 10 (4d4) piercing damage and is grappled (escape DC 15), or takes half damage and isn't grappled if it makes a successful DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained, it has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and that rootlet swarm can't entrap another target. Reel Each rootlet swarm that has a creature grappled moves up to 20 feet toward the vesiculosa's main body. Rootlets wander up to 100 feet from the main body. Engulf The vesiculosa engulfs all restrained or unconscious creatures within 5 feet of its main body (up to 2 Large, 4 Medium or 8 Small creatures). An engulfed creature is restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the vesiculosa, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the vesiculosa's turns. When the vesiculosa moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. An engulfed creature can try to escape by using an action to make a DC 15 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the vesiculosa's main body.

Forest Quickness While in forest surroundings, a vila receives a +4 bonus on initiative checks. Forest Meld A vila can meld into any tree in her forest for as long as she wishes, similar to the meld into stone spell.

A creature becomes immune to this effect for 24 hours when it succeeds on the saving throw to resist the effect or after the effect ends on it for any reason. A single xhkarsh can seize up to four strands at the same time. Invisibility The xhkarsh turns invisible until it attacks or casts a spell, or until its concentration ends.

Lake Leap A zmey spends much of its time lurking in lakes and ponds. When submerged in a natural pool of standing water, it can transport itself as a bonus action to a similar body of water within 5,000 feet. Rapidly flowing water doesn't serve for this ability, but the zmey can leap to or from a river or stream where the water is calm and slow-moving. Legendary Resistance (1/Day) If the zmey fails a saving throw, it can count it as a success instead. Multiheaded The zmey normally has three heads. While it has more than one head, the zmey has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, and stunned.
