Description
Vo the Voice Snatcher is a twisted being that gains strength by stealing voices, in the hope of leaving its larval stage. It has a placid human face on an elongated worm neck, and a lizard-like body with eleven skittering legs. Vo considers itself a connoisseur and collector, loving to bargain almost as much as it abhors lies. It cajoles people into lying so it can snatch their voice, then flees or uses the voice as a bargaining tool.
Lair and Lair Actions
Vo moves often, preferring to lair underground or in large buildings near populated or well-traveled areas.
Regional Effects:
A region containing Vo’s lair becomes warped by its unnatural presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Voices echo with unnatural volume and clarity.
- Vo’s voice can magically originate from any point in its lair. Speaking doesn’t affect its Stealth.
- Creatures within 100 feet of Vo’s lair experience a sensation of hearing voices that seem familiar but they can’t seem to recall.
