Undead or other creature appropriate for the cultist)
appears in an unoccupied space within 30ft. This

Bonus Actions

Summoner's Fury The cultist summoner can use its
bonus action to command a creature summoned by it
to move up to half its movement speed and make an
make a single attack against a creature of the cultist
summoner's choice within range.

Reactions

Summoner's Fury When the cultist summoner takes damage, it can use its reaction to command a creature summoned by it to make a weapon attack against the attacker if it is in range.

 

Death's Lash When the cultist takes damage from an attacker within 60ft. of it, the attacker must succeed a Constitution saving throw against the cultist's spell save DC. On a failed saving throw, it takes necrotic damage equal to the damage taken and the target's hitpoint maximum is reduced by that amount as well. If a creature is reduced to 0 hitpoints, it instantly dies. A creature's hitpoint maximum can be restored by taking a long rest.

The dead creature turns into a undead provided the body is not destroyed. 

Description

Cultists swear allegiance to dark powers such as elemental princes, demon lords, or archdevils. Most conceal their loyalties to avoid being ostracized, imprisoned, or executed for their beliefs. Unlike evil acolytes, cultists often show signs of insanity in their beliefs and practices.
