Incorporeal Movement. The Clamor Mulierum can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in direct sunlight, the Clamor Mulierum has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Immortal Hatred. The Weeping Women have immense hatred of all men, granting them a +2 bonus to attacks against males.
Multiattack. The Clamor Mulierum can use its Hateful Claws up to 4 times per round.
Hateful Claws . Melee Spell Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2.5 (1d4) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Mournful Cries. Any living male within earshot of the Clamor Mulierum that hear their cries must make a wisdom save (DC 13) or fall under effects similar to a Charm Person and a Message spell. The message spell will tell the victim to follow the cries of the Weeping Women. Characters effected may attempt to make another save to resist the charm every 1d4 minutes. The effect will also end if the affected creature suffers any damage while charmed.
Description
The Clamor Mulierum, known in the common tongue as 'The Weeping Women' make their homes in deep forests and swamplands, and occasionally in underground caves, crypts, and other deep places that the remains of the dead may lie. They avoid direct sunlight, but can and do remain active in areas of heavy shade. This makes them a lethal threat during any time of day, to those passing through their territory.
Like the living Sirens of the high seas, the Weeping Women seek to feed on living males who are the target of their wrath. Having been slain in life by those who falsely accused them of witchcraft, adultery, or any number of crimes, they were convicted and murdered. The deceit and brutality of their deaths caused them to become so infuriated at their fate, that their communal wrath manifested as spirits of vengeance.
Most peculiar about them, is that their affectation in undeath is something of a hive-mind. Those women who were murdered in tandem with other similarly accused victims (such as in hangings where multiple women were convicted of witchcraft) have returned to the land of the living, joined eternally with those whom died beside them.
The prevailing theory is that their combined suffering blended together into a singular being of hatred and vengeance, who still remembers its separate selves. As a result, confronting or combating this creature, the few survivors have explained that the being holds the images of numerous women, who all act together to destroy their victims.
Attacks which harm one, may seemingly destroy that visage, only to have it reappear seconds later. This pack of ghostly women will continue assaulting from many angles until its victim(s) are destroyed. If defeated however, all visages will vanish with a horrifying chorus of screams.
Once they have drawn a victim in with their mournful cries, eliciting a strong desire to help what sound like women in distress, they will lead the unwitting victim through a deep and confusing maze, labyrinth, or dense foliage of trees, insuring the victim is entirely unable to find their way back. Upon arriving at the center of their territory, they will attack the victim, knowing that any victim which survives their onslaught will still be hopelessly lost, and ultimately trapped.
