Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +1 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 (1d6 − 1) piercing damage.
Eye Rays. The Conspirator shoots the following magical eye rays at one creature it can see within 90 feet of it. It can use each ray only once on a turn.
- Fireblast. A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 15. A target takes 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.
- Fear Ray. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the Conspirator is visible to the target, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Create Food and Water. The Conspirator magically creates enough food and water to sustain itself for 24 hours.
Mage Hand. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away. The Conspirator can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. The hand can’t attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds.
Spell Reflection. If the Conspirator makes a successful saving throw against a spell, or a spell attack misses it, the Conspirator can choose another creature (including the spellcaster) it can see within 30 feet of it. The spell targets the chosen creature instead of the Conspirator. If the spell forced a saving throw, the chosen creature makes its own save. If the spell was an attack, the attack roll is rerolled against the chosen creature.
Description
A Conspirator is a lesser type of beholder — a cunning aberration it plots the death of the beholder that dreamt it up. It resembles a floating sphere with a gaping maw and a single great eye, it has a long twisting tail ending in a small eye that shoots forth deadly fire rays.
A beholder fears nothing more than death, and the Conspirator is that fear in physical form. Its entire purpose in life is to kill the beholder that created it. And there is only one thing in its way, since it is a creation of the beholder, it is unable to directly harm it. They instead use their cunning and manipulation skills to lead others to the beholder.
