Flyby. The acrynix doesn't provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy's reach.

Improved Critical. The acrynix's attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the acrynix fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Actions

Multiattack. The acrynix can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes five attacks: one with its bite, two with its claws or wing talons, and two with its back talons.

Back Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) slashing damage.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (5d6 + 10) acid damage. Unless the target has resistance or immunity to acid damage, any armor it is wearing takes a cumulative -1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to an AC of 10 is destroyed.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d6 + 10) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) acid damage.

Wing Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) slashing damage.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the acrynix's choice that is within 120 feet of the acrynix and aware of it must succeed on a DC 17 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 acrynix's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Acid Breath (Recharge 5–6). The acrynix uses one of the following abilities.

Acid Bomb. The acrynix fires a glob of acid at a point it can see within 60 feet of it. Each creature within 20 feet of that point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 77 (22d6) acid damage and another 7 (2d6) acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next turn.

Acid Wave. The acrynix fires a 5-foot-wide line of acid starting at a point it can see on the ground within 90 feet of it and ending at a point on the ground within 30 feet of the starting point. Each creature on the ground in that area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 77 (22d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The area also becomes difficult terrain for the next 24 hours. For every 5 feet a creature moves through the area, the creature takes 3 (1d6) acid damage.

Legendary Actions

The acrynix 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 acrynix regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Detect. The acrynix makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Flight. The acrynix flies up to half its flying speed.

Regeneration. The armalug regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the armalug takes cold or necrotic damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the armalug's next turn. The armalug dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Slime Trail. When the armalug moves it leaves behind slime on any square it moves into, which remains for 24 hours. The slime is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the affected area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 4 (1d8) acid damage and be restrained. A creature that starts its turn in the area and is already restrained by the slime takes 4 (1d8) acid damage

Sticky. A creature that touches the armalug or hits it with a melee attack must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or the weapon becomes stuck to the armalug. If the weapon's wielder can't or won't let go of the weapon, the wielder is grappled while the weapon is stuck. While stuck, the weapon can't be used. A creature can pull the weapon free by taking an action to make a DC 16 Strength check and succeeding. A creature restrained by the slime can use its action to make a DC 16 Strength or Dexterity check (its choice). On a success, it frees itself.

Actions

Multiattack. The armalug makes two attacks.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Slime Attacks (Recharge 6). The armalug uses one of the following abilities.

Charged Slam. The armalug slams down in a 20-feet-long, 10-foot-wide line, which then becomes covered in slime as described in the Slime Trail feature. Creatures in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 27 (6d8) acid damage plus 32 (4d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Slime Bomb. The armalug fires a glob of mucus in a 15-foot-radius sphere, which then becomes covered in slime as described in the Slime Trail feature, from a point within 50 feet. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature who fails its save also takes 18 (4d8) acid damage at the end of its next turn.

Colors

Armalugs come in many different colors although the

most common one is the red and green variation.

False Appearance. While the bristler remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal cactus.

Poison Burst. The bristler explodes when it drops to 0 hit points. Each creature within 20 feet must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned as per the Spray Gas action.

Actions

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage.

Spray Gas (Recharge 5–6). The bristler ejects poison gas at a creature it can see within 5 feet of it. The target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it takes 14 (4d6) poison damage and becomes poisoned. On a success, it takes half as much damage and isn't poisoned.

   The poison invades the creature's system, killing the creature in a number of days equal to the creature's Constitution modifier (minimum 1), unless the poison is removed. After the creature dies, it sprouts 2d4 Tiny bristlers that grow to full size in 3 days.

Magma Bulette

A cousin of the regular bulette, this particular type can burrow through solid rock. They have a natural immunity to fire and lava, and are more comfortable in very warm climates. At their adult size, they easily dwarf a normal bulette, and as such are able to swallow creatures whole.

Seeing one of these usually requires for one to be deep underground, near an active volcano or any other source of extreme heat.

Unlike their normal cousins, their youth has been spotted. Due to the fact that they rarely get visitors, it seems that adult magma bulettes are a bit more careless in protecting their children. Researchers have assumed they gauge that the lava provides enough protection.

As an adult has never been slain or found dead, their anatomy is a mystery. Adventurers have been contracted to find and kill a baby magma bulette, and to avoid its parents, but have never come back.

The younger ones are about the height of a pony, but are much bulkier and wider. At any size, they emit heat waves that can ignite things in close proximity to them.

Caustic Queen Ant

Queen ants are the founders of all colonies. Once mated, she can stay fertilized for many years laying millions of eggs. Some queens can lay thousands of eggs each day. They really are egg laying machines. They also tend to live about six times longer than any other ant type. Their acid is more potent than other ants.

Caustic Soldier Ant

These sterile female ants are larger and stronger than typical workers. They protect their colony from large predators and use their strength and large jaws or mandibles to cut and carry larger objects.

Caustic Worker Ant

Minor worker ants, or simply ‘workers’, are the most common ant found in any colony. Some look after the queen and brood, some forage for food from around the nest, whilst others maintain and expand the nest.

Centaur Marksman

Born a bit weaker than most other centaurs, archers are however more agile. They use that to their advantage, training to become fierce archers.

Centaur Reaver

These centaurs protect their brethren, clad in custom-fitted plate armor and wielding large two-handed weapons.

Hellwasp Devils

Hellwasp devils are members of a huge colony that makes its home in the Garden of Delights in Malbolge. Ruthless and logical, with an alien intelligence and the unquestioning instincts of a colony insect, these devils live to serve the whims of their queen. Hellwasp devils were once demons akin to mezzodemons. While in the Abyss, Glasya defeated their master and took them back to the Nine Hells. There, she transformed them into devils, making them shock troops and bodyguards.

Since they unquestioningly follow the orders of Glasya, hellwasp devils can be found with any creature that serves the daughter of Asmodeus. On rare occasions, Glasya loans out groups of hellwasp devils to her allies.

Type	Recharge	Description
Regular	1/Turn	Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage.
Line	4–6	The diregran fires in a 30-foot line, each target in the area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage.
Whirlwind	5–6	The diregran spins, firing a volley around itself. Creatures within 10 feet of it must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Cone	6	The diregran fires a stinger at a target within 60 feet, using that target as the origin of a 30 ft. cone. Targets must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage.

Waning Inferno (1/Day). The diregran exhales fire in a 50 ft. cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save. A creature that fails its save also ignites, taking 1d10 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this effect by taking an action to douse the flames.

Players can make an Intelligence (Nature) check to glean information about this creature:

• DC 9: It's very aggressive, keep your distance as to not agitate it.
• DC 13: It's able to fire a volley of spikes, prepare yourselves for that.
• DC 20: As a last-ditch effort it will unleash a powerful breath attack, so be ready when you see it weakening.

Stone Dragon

Not chromatic nor metallic, this dragon type may have stemmed from elemental powers. They are known for their strange ability to turn creatures to stone with their breath. They possess a territorial temperament, attacking anything it sees as a treat to its dominance over vast swaths of land.

When they hatch from their rocky eggs, stone dragons look akin to a quadrupedal gargoyle, but as they grow older their smooth stone hide turns rugged. Unlike most other dragons, their tough hide allows them to shrug off most weapons, and their stony nature allows them to burrow through solid rock. Their tail begins to grow a crystal, which on contact causes shockwaves.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• A stalactite falls from the ceiling above a creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) piercing damage and be knocked prone and pinned. The pinned target is restrained and unable to stand up. A creature can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength check, ending the pinned state on a success.

Ember Drake

Unlike their cousins, this drake did not develop a thick mane, instead adapting to the harsh environment of the wastelands and volcanic areas. Originating from red dragons, this drake has retained the ability to use its inner fire to incinerate its enemies. It has mastered its use through its adaptation, able to form cylindrical walls of sustained flame.

Just like red dragons, these drakes are very arrogant, ferocious and impulsive.

Frostbite Drake

Residents of the tundra, these drakes are descendants of silver dragons. Their color shifted to an ice-blue tone, great manes grew in place of their crests. It has adapted to its cold environment and is able to freeze its enemies solid with its breath.

Similar to silver dragons, these drakes are virtuous. They believe that morals are important, that good deeds should be part of a creature's life. They try to keep watch on the tundra as best they can, while avoiding the terrifying threat of ghaskragos.

Toxin Drake

Just like frostbite drakes, these drakes also have thick manes that stretch out to their tails. It isn't quite clear why, although some theorize that it is merely for show, to intimidate their prey. These drakes descend from green dragons, although were subject to a few mutations. Large spikes grew from their bodies, their hide turned to purple with black streaks and extra claws on their paws.

These drakes have taken physical aspects from their green ancestry; however, their personalities don't stem from them. They have the cruel disposition and sadistic nature of black dragons. They thrive off the terror of their prey, toying with them to satisfy its vicious cravings.

Feninor, the Inferno's Swell

Resident of the Plane of Fire, Feninor is an elemental force to be reckoned with. It wanders over the Sea of Fire, and is generally avoided by efreet and azers.

When the Ferris comet is visible in the sky, almost every 400 years, its powers summons Feninor from its home plane and temporarily places it on land in the Material Plane. For 27 hours, the comet is close enough to maintain this effect, during which time Feninor consumes all it can reach. Once the time has passed, it returns to its plane and waits for its next chance.

While not inherently evil, the comet alters its personality for that period of time. Its only needs then are to consume as much as possible in the time it has. The last time it came to the Material Plane, evacuations were quickly made in order to reduce the death toll, but the fact the location it appears in changes makes this process hit or miss.

Notes

This elemental assumes it is going against bipedal creatures, namely player characters. As such, if a PC does not have all its limbs, ignore and repeat a roll that would fall on a non-existing limb.

A creature fully submerged in water has resistance to fire damage, which would cancel out the Floe Manta's vulnerability. As such, it is not calculated in CR as it is assumed the manta will be submerged at all times.

Necrotic Vulnerability. If the fliezund takes 30 necrotic damage from a single attack or spell, it must succeed on a DC 23 Constitution saving throw or roots itself into the ground to refill its water supply for 1d2 rounds. While rooted, the fliezund is restrained and incapacitated, but has resistance to necrotic damage.

Actions

Multiattack. The fliezund makes two smash attacks.

Smash. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage.

Lunge. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage and is pulled within 5 feet of the fliezund. If the target is Medium or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the fliezund. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the fliezund, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the fliezund's turns.

    If the fliezund takes 40 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside of it, the fliezund must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the swallowed creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the fliezund.

Charge. The fliezund rushes forward, running 60 feet in a straight line. The fliezund can't stop this charge. Any target in its path must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. If a target fails its save, it is knocked prone.

Frantic Backlash (Recharge 5–6). The fliezund uses one of the following abilities.

Acid Rain. The fliezund spews a stream of acid upwards, which rains down in a 30-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on itself. Creatures in the area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 45 (10d8) acid damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

Earth Rupture. The fliezund rips the ground in a 20-foot cube in front of itself. Targets in the area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 49 (14d6) bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

Fire and cold deals no damage but add or remove points respectively for every 10 damage it would normally deal. The ghaskrago gains 1 point of temperature at the end of each round of activity and loses 1 point if it does no actions while in a freezing environment.

If a creature fails its save, it ignites.

    Until the target takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Pounce. If the ghaskrago moves at least 30 feet straight towards a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, the target must succeed on a DC 24 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Actions

Multiattack. The ghaskrago makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Until the target takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Legendary Actions

The ghaskrago can take 3 legendary actions when in a hot phase, 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 ghaskrago regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Dash. The ghaskrago moves up to its speed.

Claw. (Costs 2 Actions) The ghaskrago makes a claw attack.

Bite. (Costs 3 Actions) The ghaskrago makes a bite attack.

Fire Bombs, Roll 1D8

The ghaskrago's origins are unknown but are not mentioned in history books. The races of the continent are thankful that it can only survive in freezing temperatures, as these are extremely dangerous creatures.

Frost Giant Shaman

Blessed by Thrym, the god of frost giants, a shaman finds himself grown in size, with sharp icy claws and magic similar to that of a cleric's. A shaman can cast from the conjuration, divination, evocation schools.

Frost Giant Witch Doctor

Similar to a shaman, frost giant witch doctors are
larger than their normal counterparts, however
are granted the arcane abilities. They prefer
spells that can bewilder and confound
other giants, but exceptions exist.

Witch doctors are sometimes the head
of small groups of frost giants, significantly
improving the intellect of the unit they are a part of. If a shaman is also present, such a group of giants can terrorize a countryside at their leisure.

Keen Hearing. The karapaks has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Pounce. If the karapaks moves at least 30 feet straight towards a creature and then hits it with a talon 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 karapaks can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. The karapaks can use its Unnerving Screech, if available. It then makes four attacks: one with its bite, one with its tail, and two with its talons. It can't make the bite and tail attacks against the same target.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (3d4 + 4) piercing damage.

While frightened in this way, a creature is unable to speak, and its speed becomes 0. 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 karapaks's Unnerving Screech for the next 24 hours.

Kuo-Toa Deity Template

Kuo-toa have the power to create beings of power with worship. Their collective subconscious is able to give shape to creatures with abnormal abilities. These can be based off anything, usually when a tribe of kuo-toa find a statue to their liking. Sometimes, a particularly cunning creature will have a statue raised in their likeness, in order to place it in a tribe's path. By doing so, with a bit of enchanting, they can assure that the kuo-toas' worship is directed to them to increase their powers.

The abilities a tribe of kuo-toa grant are solely based on the amount that worship the statue. The stronger the kuo-toa, the more power it can grant. If a tribe or part of a tribe of kuo-toa is slain or otherwise stop worshipping the statue, the powers granted fade after 1d4 days.

Which has given it the following benefits:

---

Hold Breath. The hydra can hold its breath for 4 hours.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the hydra fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Multiple Heads. The hydra has a number of heads equal to its number of hit point pools. While it has more than one head, the hydra has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious. If all of its heads are dead at the start of its turn, the hydra dies.

Paragon Actions. Roll initiative once for each hit point pool with more than 0 hit points at the start of each combat. Each hit point pool represents a head of the hydra and each gets its own full turn and reaction. A head that spawns from another shares the spawner's initiative and movement.

   The hydra's Poison Breath recharge is rolled at the start of a round, and a single head using it will trigger the cooldown.

Paragon Hit Points. The learnaean hydra's 5 heads each have their own pool of 64 hit points. Each pool must be targeted individually by attacks and other effects. Whenever a head is reduced to 0 hp, it grows two smaller heads, each with a pool of hit points equal to 1/4 of the hit points of the originating head. This trait doesn't function if a pool was reduced to 0 hit points with fire damage or if the smaller heads would come back with 1 hit point.

Paragon Resilience. When the hydra is struck by an area of effect such as fireball, or an attack targeting its body, the total damage is divided equally among its hit point pools. If there is any remainder, one damage is applied to each head until there is no more remainder. When a single-target spell with a condition is used against this creature only one head is affected, and spells with multiple chosen targets treats a head as its own creature.

Wakeful. While the hydra sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.

Actions

Bite Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.

Poison Breath (Recharge 6). The hydra head inhales and each other head can use its reaction to join in, then the hydra exhales poisonous gas in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 3 (1d6) poison damage for each head that joined in the breath on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Manticore Alpha

Once in a while, a manticore will grow up to be much stronger than its peers. Such a manticore takes up the mantle of alpha, leading packs of its own to defeat larger or more dangerous foes.

Fountain Mimic

A much larger mimic, this type passes itself off as containers of water, with fountains being the most common shape. The water it contains is actually acid, and when an unfortunate soul approaches it, it engulfs it and closes itself around it, digesting that creature alive.

Boiling Ooze

Residents of the desert, these ooze specialize in ambushing unwitting prey. Being slow on land, but able to burrow quickly through sand, their preferred method is to stay under the dunes until they are directly underneath their target. Their bodies are liquid, and are extremely sensitive to temperature changes.

When it manages to engulf a creature, it simply waits for the sun and heat to do its work. The ooze quickly boils, which it has become accustomed to. The prey however suffers the horrible feeling of being cooked alive.

Electric Grime

A spawn of spark sludges, these little globs stay in packs to help conduct the electrical discharges their parents produce.

Spark Sludge

A freak even amongst the oozes, the spark sludge is different in many ways. Like some oozes, it can produce smaller versions of itself, however this ooze does so passively, not reducing its own size in the process. It can maintain a few of its smaller selves, which serve as conduits for its electrical power.

It conducts electricity, and has no other way to discharge it except through its smaller selves.

Swamp Sludge

This variety of ooze closely resembles mud, and as such lives in the swamp bed. It can digest what organic material is present there, extracting what it needs to breathe from it. It then holds in concentrated, poisonous fumes created from process to release at a later time.

It preys upon creatures that pass through its territory, following it while releasing these fumes. When the creature is subjected to these for a time, it will suffocate and die, leaving the sludge to digest its corpse. It only uses brute force as a last result, preferring to wait until any nearby foes are gone or dead before it surfaces.

Variant: Coastal Sludge

This variant of a Swamp Sludge lives near beaches, under the sand. It stays near beaches and preys on the small fishes and the occasional swimmer. It absorbs the multitude of micro-organisms it comes across and uses them to become a breeding ground for poisonous fumes.

All of its mud-based features are changed to sand, and it gains a swimming speed of 10 feet.

As a reminder, being fully submerged in water, a creature gains resistance to fire damage.

Chameleon Skin. While the rayer remains motionless, it gains a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide. Once it moves or takes an action, it loses the bonus.

Spider Climb. The rayer can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Standing Leap The rayer's long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start.

Actions

Face Hug. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) slashing damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 15), and frightened. Until the grapple ends, the target is blinded to everything except the rayer. A frightened target can make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Internal Hemorrhage. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature grappled by the rayer. Hit: 55 (10d10) piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the rayer kills the target by extracting and devouring its heart.

Seithr Oil (Injury or Contact)

Seithr oil is a liquid substance taken from the petals of the Seithr plant, which grows on a small island in the frigid northern seas. The oil is normally harmless and mainly used for preserving pearls, but with a sacrificial ritual, it becomes a deadly, caustic poison called Modified Seithr Oil. This modified version has no effect on anything inorganic.

• Acquisition: This poison is made from a plant from the northern seas, which is then modifier with an incantation and a sacrifice. The first entry on a line below refers to the Unmodified version, the second the Modified version.
• Market Value: 1000gp / 5000gp
• Legality: Legal / Illegal
• Modification DC: None, see above
• Medicine DC: None
• Saving Throw DC: None / 18
• Effect: A creature other than an undead or construct subjected to this oil must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. Every hour while poisoned, a creature takes 1d4 necrotic damage and its maximum hit points are reduced by the same amount. If the poison reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.

Cuchan

These undead are created from the corpses of fallen monks. Their Ki is corrupted, allowing them to deal necromantic damage with their strikes. They retain their known Ki-based attacks, which are now powered by the magic that animates them. They are also uncannily good at dodging blows, and gain all the benefits as well as the faults other skeleton-like creatures possess.

The ritual to raise such a creature is vile. First off, a fresh corpse of a dead monk must be acquired. Next, a dragonborn is sacrificed over the dead monk, at the same time as a giant lizard, while uttering a dark incantation. What emerges is a bipedal skeleton with a crested skull, a long-jointed tail, and an exposed ribcage with the skillset of a monk.

Tlincalli Leader

The strongest and the most cunning of a generation of tlincallis usually grows up to become the leader of his tribe. They favor the use of two handed weapons to use their strength accordingly, and use this to defend their position from any challenger.

Tlincalli Shaman

The wisest of tlincallis bear the title of shaman, and in doing so are imparted with old rites that allow them a semblance of control over lesser insects. A shaman is often present as the lieutenant of a leader in a strong tribe. If the shaman's tribe lowers in strength, another tribe will often recruit the shaman as their own.

Umber Hulk Prime

A monstrosity even compared to other umber hulks, these originated from mind flayer experiments. These are created by injecting a serum that amplifies its size and abilities. From then on, the umber hulk can breed and pass down this mutation.

Their use was meant to be as guardians of mind flayer territory, to be kept at the borders and bring back anyone it could capture. Some of the side effects of the serum included giving the umber hulks the ability to converse, albeit in a limited fashion, with their mind flayer creators.

Ones created by mind flayers remain under their
control, however their children do
not seem to be under the same
command. These roam the
Underdark in search of their
own territories to assert.

Their mutation has allowed
them to emit sound waves
from their mandibles that
can pierce into someone's
mind. In rare cases, one will
emit waves that can turn even the
most intelligent of men into a
fumbling idiot while the prime
wreaks havoc.

Five-Lived Wight

These wights have been modified with living souls residing in gemstones on its armor. They have the uncanny ability to come back from life as long as they have these gemstones, all the while becoming harder to kill.

One of these wights is truly slain upon the destruction of its last gemstone. Removing the gemstones from the armor intact is impossible as they are magically embedded into their chestpiece.

Wight Knight

Far from white knights, these wight have been elevated to a higher position due to their strength and ability to lead subordinates into battle. They have superior swordsmanship and greatly enjoy seeing the frustration in their enemies' eyes after one too many ripostes.

They adorn themselves in plate armor and shields, using these defenses to be the undead standard on the battlefield. They use their elevated rank to bolster the attack of other undead.

Wight Marksman

These wights have been trained to pick targets from afar. They possess the skill of infusing their draining ability into their ammunition, using distance and height to their advantage.

Usually found on high
perches or even on skeletal
dragonback, these wights
try to stay out of range of
their enemies, relying on
the meat shields that are its
zombies to keep their prey
distracted while it picks
them off one by one.

Canoloth

Canoloths are specialized yugoloths who serve as scouts, skirmishers and trackers. They are not common, but a few are always a great addition to any yugoloth mercenary company. Their lack of intelligence made the canoloths the most loyal of their race.

Canoloths resemble great semi-insectile mastiffs, their body covered with chitin armor. Their mouth is made from both a horizontal and vertical set of teeth and a barbed tongue lolls out from the creature's mouth. It has no eyes; it relies on smell and hearing.

Some spells of binding and entrapment use canoloth tongue as a reagent.
