### Pod Demon
Pod demons are demons of madness that spawn tiny versions of themselves from their backs. A pod demon can psychically transfer its consciousness to any of its spawn, transforming that spawn’s body into a new pod demon while its former body shrinks to spawn form.

> ***Fetid Aura.*** A 10-foot radius of disgusting green gas extends out from the pod demon. The gas spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. Any creature that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. While poisoned in this way, the target can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both, and can't take reactions.
