Sith Witchling

The Sith Witchling is an experimental Sithspawn created through an unholy union between Sith Alchemy and Nightsister Magick during the Golden Age of the Old Republic. Rumored to be the brainchild of a Nightsister Sith Witch guided by the spirit of Sorzus Syn, the Sith Witchlings unlike other Sithspawn are cunning and intelligent hunters who serve their master's will as infiltrators and assassins. They have been designed to be highly efficient predators that can act autonomously for extremely long periods of time while remaining deep undercover amongst the other sentient races in the galaxy, sowing mistrust and chaos while quietly doing away with anyone that learn their true nature at their master's whims.

Sinister Imitators Like other changlings in the galaxy such as the Clawdites and the Shi'ido, the Witchlings are masters of deception and impersonation allowing them to take the place of any humanoid individual down to their personality, the way they talked, and even the way they walked. They utilize their shape-shifting abilities in combat when needed such as transforming their clawed hands into hooks, flails, and potentially any other kind of weapon they can imagine. They completed the imperfections of their disguises with help from minor Magick illusions, making them in some ways superior to other changelings in the galaxy.

Shadow Enforcers Along with their shape-shifting abilities, the Witchlings have an exceptional connection to the dark side of the force, enhanced by the Nightsister Magick that binds their very existence. They are capable of emitting their own aura of darkness when in their true form allowing them to entrap and torment their victims before coming in for the kill. Within their shadow fields they can become one with it and summon their own construct copies of their targets should they become too troublesome for the Sithspawn to deal with by themselves. Even if their prey overcomes and even kills a Witchling, they completely disintegrate leaving no evidence of their existence, even on electronic devices making them literal anomalies. While their main purpose is to create subterfuge, they make ferocious tomb guardians for important Sith tombs that contain relics such as crystals and holocrons.

Perfect Organisms Upon their creations, the Sith Witchlings are some of the most unique and intelligent creations of the dark side. While fully capable by themselves the Witchlings prefer to torment their prey, seeming to play with them only utilizing their full abilities when absolutely necessary. This shows a disturbing layer of sentience that other Sithspawn rarely show, for they are fully capable of careful and strategic planning even without the guidance of their masters. It is even possible for them to establish criminal organizations or even potentially become ordinary citizens in the galaxy, only attacking in self defense once their true nature is revealed. Though due to their origins, there are very few of them. At the very most ten of them can exist at one time.

Traits

Eternal Darkness. While in its true form, Darkness spreads within a 150 feet radius around the Witchling. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness, and unenhanced light can't illuminate it, though all light sources within the surroundings will periodically produce bright red lights. All surfaces and objects within the Darkness are immune to all damage. The Darkness can only be dissipated when the Witchling has been killed.

Shapeshifter. The Witchling will only be able to shapeshift into its original host and has their memories and personality. While in their disguise they are unable to used their abilities, but can still use their host's proficiencies and weapons. Who this host is will be by the DM's discretion, and needs to be a humanoid of medium size, but they will have temporary HP of 10. They can lose their disguise with a bonus action or until their host 'dies' when their temporary hit points go to zero. They can also transform back into their disguise with a full action.

Mimicry. The Sith Witchling can mimic any sounds it has heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful DC-18 Wisdom (Insight) check.

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

Magick Bounded. The Witchling along with its Darkness and Shadow Clones will not appear on electronic devices such as cameras, only appearing to the naked eye. Once it is killed the Witchling will disintegrate leaving no trace of its existence, though flesh separated from it before death won't disintegrate.

The tongue can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 18 Strength check against it. After destroyed the tongue can no longer be used.

Reel. The Witchling pulls a creature it has grappled toward it up to 15 ft.
