You share a deep spiritual bond with a hugr, a dream-animal manifestation of your inner self. Occasionally, while you sleep, your hugr manifests independently, allowing you to explore the world in a spectral form.
Hugr Form. When you first experience a hugr manifestation, choose a beast of CR 1 or lower as your hugr. This choice can only be changed with DM approval. Every 4–6 nights (DM’s choice), your hugr may manifest involuntarily while you sleep. While manifested, you inhabit the body of your hugr using an augmented version of the animal’s stat block, retaining your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. All other class features, proficiencies, and statistics are replaced by the beast’s. For the purpose of effects targeting them, a Hugr animal counts as both the celestial and undead creature types.
Movement and Travel. Your hugr is mostly incorporeal, can move through all creatures and objects as difficult terrain, and can shift between the Material and Ethereal Planes. It can teleport as a bonus action to any location you have previously visited in normal form.
Defenses and Limitations. The hugr is immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and vulnerable to psychic damage. Its hit points are equal to the chosen animal’s; if reduced to 0, the hugr form ends immediately. Ani-magic effects (such as Dispel Magic or Counterspell) can prevent the hugr from entering an area, drive it away, or end the experience at the DM’s discretion. While in hugr form, effects tied to your physical body (such as hunger, exhaustion, or conditions) do not carry over to your Hugr form, and vice-versa.
