Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the choclodyte has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Edible Adversary. Choclodytes may take an action to partially eat one another to quickly heal themselves for 2d6 health at the cost of the eaten choclodyte's health of the same amount. Once dead, their flesh can be collected for 20SP per pound (Typical weight of 200lbs = 4000GP) & can be eaten to regain 1d4+Constitution modifier of health per pound. However if a creature that's not a choclodyte consumed at least 3 pounds in under an hour, all of their speed is reduced by 10, and get disadvantage on dexterity saves.
Multiattack. The choclodyte makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Whenever a creature successfully trys to grapple a choclodyte, it will counterattack with its claws & escape to a space 10 feet away from them, losing 1d4 health and dropping half a pound of its own flesh.
Description
Coclodytes are nothing more than candied replicas of the vile troglodytes, down to their apathetic & savage nature towards each other in terms of strength. The only difference between them is the fact that they cower before others that eat their flesh, despite the fact they publicly eat each other all the time. Typically, choclodytes raid villages known for their bakeries, towns populated by commoners made of candy are main targets.
Tasty Servants. Unlike golems, which have no soul, or the undead, which are reanimated corpses, they're souls corrupted by gluttony, giving life to chocolate sculptures by anyone willing to control them. A gluttonous soul can be harvested by a phylactery from those either representing the sin in the first place, or such a act can be forced upon & will still reach the requirement to make one. They will not remember their past so long as they're within a choclodyte host. Whenever a choclodyte is killed, their souls return to the phylactery, no matter how far they are from it. Souls that make choclodytes cannot truly be free until their master's phylactery is destroyed.
Recycled chocolate. The body of a choclodyte is either made of fresh chocolate that take hours to prepare, or, often times, collected from other choclodytes that are then melted down to spare time for repeated use. The latter could be the reason they eat each other without regret, to take parts of themselves that used for the other back for the fleeting conscience of their imprisoned souls.
