Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6 + 6) slashing damage.
Imitating Cry. The corpse weeper imitates a cry for help that it has heard before. Each creature within 120 ft. that can hear and understand the cry must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature must spend its movement moving towards the sound if it cannot see its source, and it has disadvantage on attacks against the corpse weeper until the start of the corpse weeper's next turn. Once a creature succeeds at this save, it cannot be affected by an imitating cry again for 24 hours.
Description
Corpse-Weepers are carnivorous and quite violent at that. They are notorious for their capabilities to mimic sounds and use it for hunting. If they capture prey with high social capabilities such as Hammerbeaks or humans, they will learn their prey's cries for help and use it to lure others to their colony, thus giving them the name, Crying Corpses.
