Traits
Keen Smell. The cat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Magic Resistance. The kaibyo has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Pounce. If the bakeneko moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 [Tooltip Not Found] saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the bakeneko can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Innate Spellcasting. The bakeneko's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 11, +3 to hit with spell attacks) . It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: chill touch, control flames, minor illusion
3/day each: false life, ray of enfeeblement
1/day each: animate dead, bestow curse
Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4+3) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4+3) slashing damage.
Change Shape. Bakeneko magically polymorphs into a humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating no higher than its own, or back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (bakeneko's choice).
In a new form, the bakeneko retains its alignment, hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.
