Ignite. If the Powder horror takes fire damage, part of its body ignites in flame, the Powder Horror takes double damage and all creatures within 5 feet must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or take 3(1d6) fire damage.
Death Burst. When the horror dies, its black powder form ignites with flame, any creature within melee range of it must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, at disadvantage if the creature was engaged in melee combat with the powder horror, or take 5(1d10) fire damage and catches fire on a failed save, or half as much and does not catch fire on a successful save. A creature that has caught fire takes 5(1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns, until someone takes an action to douse the fire.

If it is large or smaller, it is also grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and unable to breath. If the saving throw is successful, the target is pushed out of the Horror's space. At the start of each of the Horrors turn, each grappled creature takes 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage. As an action, a creature within 5 feet of the Horror can pull a creature out by succeeding a DC 13 strength check.
Description
Powder horrors are old elementals that take their forms from piles of Black Powder. They form a body that usually resembles a humanoids made of a scattering of floating black powder dust, and are highly ignitable. The powder horrors tend to dwell in areas where black powder is being used in abundance, such as stockpiles and mines where blasting takes place. Though not many know where they originate because they tend to be able to communicate in many different Elemental languages, some believe that they are a creation of evil by twisting and forming many different elemental forms into using black powder specifically.
