Description
One there was a great construct that held all the darkness upon the world. Letting the humanoid races be free. This great construct was a dungeon created to house the dark gods and their servants. One day a creature fell from the heavens, sent from another world, it defied the magic of the gods and reality with it's powers. The creature was made of crystal and it's reality bending psionic powers grew as it grew. Consuming living and dead creatures, plant life, and water itself. These creatures are distant lesser spawn of such a dangerous creature. If allowed to run rampant there is a chance these creatures could rebirth such a horror unto any world they inhabit.
Crystal Aberration. A husk zombie doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
VARIANT: Crystalline HUSK BURSTERS
Some husks become covered with sharp crystals that seek to spread their way, in a near death state pushing them to rush other living creatures, explode, and spread their crystalline infection. A [Tooltip Not Found] has the following additional action option:
Burst. The husk explodes and is destroyed. Each creature within 5 feet of it must make a DC 12 wisdom saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A humanoid creature killed by this damage rises as a [Tooltip Not Found] after 1 minute.
