Blighted - Flagellant

Abhorrent Presence: Natural animals will not approach the Blighted of their own volition. Coaxing an animal to come within 10 feet of a Blighted requires a DC 15 Animal Handling check.

Life Sense. The Blighted can sense the location of any creature within 60 feet of it, unless that creature’s type is construct or undead.

Relentless Fortitude. If damage reduces the Blighted to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the spawn drops to 1 hit point instead.

Multiattack. The Flagellant makes two tentacle attacks. 

Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) slashing damage. A target struck by both tentacle attacks is considered grappled, requiring a DC 13 Strength check to escape. Each round they are grappled, they must make a DC 13 Constitution Saving Throw or become infected with the Blight.

The Blight. An infected creature becomes incapacitated for three rounds as they begin their transformation into a Blight Spawn. During this time, the creature can be healed with a lesser restoration spell. At the beginning of the fourth round, the transformation is complete and the victim has become one of the Blighted. At this point a greater restoration spell is required to restore them to their normal state.
