Innate Spellcasting. The actaeon is an innate spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 13). The actaeon can cast the following spells at will, without providing any components:
Multiattack. The actaeon makes three melee attacks: two with its spear and one with its antlers.
Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., or range 30/90 ft. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage or 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage if used to with two hands to make a melee attack.
Antler. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
Polymorph Breath (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The actaeon exhales a 10-foot cone of transforming gases. The effect is similar to the Polymorph spell with the following changes. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be polymorphed into a normal forest creature (owl, squirrel, deer, etc.) with a CR of 0. The polymorph effect lasts for 1 hour. If the saving throw is failed by 5 or more, then the effect lasts for 24 hours.
Description
The actaeon is a creature embodying the majesty of the elk, in a 9 ft. tall humanoid form. Its head, including a set of impressive antlers, along with its lower legs, are those of an elk. The remainder of its body is shaped like that of a human, and it is fully covered with hide like that of an elk.
Woodland Watcher. The solitary actaeon is always on the watch, well camouflaged among the woodland's terrain and foliage. They are the protectors of the creatures there, ensuring that no undue harm comes to them. When the actaeon encounters one of these vile acts, this otherwise serine and gentle giant springs forth to protect those under its charge, seemingly out of the woods itself. This has lead to folklore of the actaeon being able to enter trees in a manner similar to that of the dryads, although they are false.
Renowned Heroes. Actaeons are part of the woodland community, along with normal forest creatures and other inhabitants such as druids, centaurs, and dryads. Partly due to their fierce bravery, and partly to their rarity, actaeons are renowned heroes within these circles. An actaeon's call for assistance would never be denied by a member of this community.
