Traits

Athletic. The yautja has a climb speed equal to its walking speed, it has a long jump distance of 40 feet with or without a running start, and it has a high jump of 20 feet.

Bio-Helmet. The yautja wears an advanced helmet that allows it see in nearly all spectrums of light, granting it Truesight out to 120 feet. It also allows the yautja to breathe in any environment, and render it immune to all airborne hazards such as the cloudkill spell and the breath weapons of some dragons.

Expert Tracker. The yautja has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to track creatures, and it has advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks.

Infrared Vision. The yautja naturally perceives light in the infra-red spectrum of light which provides it with some advantages and disadvantages. Any warm-blooded creatures that are lightly or heavily obscured by non-solid phenomena gain no benefit from that obscurity, however, any nonliving creatures or creatures that can mask their body heat, or blend in with the heat of its environment are considered heavily obscured to the yautja.

Learned Mimicry. After listening to a creature speak for 1 minute or longer, the yautja can mimic the sounds and voices it has heard. A creature can tell these are imitations with a successful DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check.

Actions

Multiattack. The yautja makes three weapon attacks.

Bladed Gauntlet. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (4d4 + 5) slashing damage.

Combistick. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft. or range 60/90 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) piercing damage.

Speargun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 120/240 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage. Attacks made with this weapon ignore half and three-quarters cover.

Net Gun (Recharge 4-6). The yautja targets a creature it can see within 90 feet of it. The target must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or become grappled and restrained by a durable and sharp net. While restrained in this manner, an affected creature takes 7 (2d6) slashing damage at the start of each of its turns. An affected creature can use its action to attempt a DC 16 Strength saving throw, breaking free of the net on a success. A creature can also attack the net to break free, it has an AC of 20, 25 hit points, immunity to necrotic, nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing, poison, and psychic damage.

Bonus Actions

Cloaking Field. The yautja becomes invisible. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is also invisible as long as the equipment is on its person. This invisibility ends immediately after the yautja makes an attack roll or is hit with an attack.

Reactions

Claim Trophy (Recharge 5-6). As a reaction to reducing a creature it deemed a threat to 0 hit points, the yautja can plunge its hand into the back of the creature and tear out its spine and skull, killing it. The yautja then lets out a terrifying war cry, forcing each non-yautja within 60 feet of it to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the yautja until the end of its next turn.

Self Destruct (1/Day). As a reaction to being reduced to 10 hit points or fewer, the yautja can activate a self destruct sequence on its wrist gauntlet. This sequence takes two rounds to complete, and at the start of the yautja's turn after the sequence completes, the gauntlet erupts in a 500-foot-radius sphere centered on the yautja. Each creature within the effected area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw taking 77 (14d10) force damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a successful one.

Description

The young blood Yautja are perhaps the most common among their society, they have participated in at least one hunt before, but they haven't slain their first worthy foe yet. Until they slay a truly worthy, and powerful opponent a young blood Yautja doesn't have access to the eponymous and powerful Plasmacaster.
