Amphibious. The dragon can breathe air and water.
Gloom. If the Blackspawn does not move on its turn, the shadows that constantly swirl around its form settle into a cloudlike mass that grants concealment until the beginning of its next turn.
Multiattack. The Blackspawn can make either one Goring Charge and a Claw attack or Mobile Attack and a Bite attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6+6) slashing damage.
Goring Charge. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 6) slashing damage. The target is knocked prone, and the Blackspawn can make a bite attack against the same target.
Mobile Attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage. The Blackspawn can move up to half its speed and make a Claw attack a single creature it passes. It does not provoke opportunity attacks with this movement.
Acid Web (Recharge 5–6). The Blackspawn exhales acid webbing in a 40-foot line that is 5 feet wide. When it reaches the point along the line chosen by the Blackspawn, it stops and expands, creating a circle of webbing with a 10 foot radius. Every creature that gets hit by the line, starts its turn in the webbing, or walks into the webbing must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 25 (5d8) acid damage on a failed save and being restrained, or half as much damage on a succssful save. A creature may use its action to break free of the webbing. The webbing has an AC of 10 and 15 hitpoints, and is resistant to nonmagical sources of damage.
Skitter. While Concealed by its Gloom, the Blackspawn can use its reaction to move its movement. So long as it does not pass within 10 feet of an enemy, it remains concealed.
Darkness. As a reaction, the Blackspawn can cast Darkness as a 2nd level spell centered on itself. The spells lasts until the beginning of its next turn.
Description
Blackspawn Gloomwebs are tortured souls transformed by black dragon's blood and unholy rituals to Tiamat to bolster the armies of a Dragonflight at war. They inherit the gluttony of their parents, catching prey in sticky webs that drip with acid. However, the gloomwebs are impatient predators, and they do not wait for their victims to succumb to the acid before they begin feasting.
Gloomwebs can surround itself in a cloud of shadow, making it difficult to see. They are highly hostile and territorial, with low intelligence, making them hard to train for the Armies of the Queen Dragon.
