Traits

Incorporeal Movement. The boowray can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Invisibility. The boowray is invisible.

Keen Smell. The boowray has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Evil Whisper. Whenever a creature influenced by the boowray takes an evil action or acts upon negative emotions, the creature must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's alignment shifts one step toward lawful evil. If the creature is already lawful evil, it takes 7 (2d6) psychic damage from the boowray's manipulative influence. On a successful save, the creature resists the influence for now.

Inscrutable Alignment. Spells and magical effects that detect alignment don't reveal that the boowray's alignment is lawful evil, but it appears to be of the alignment of its victim.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage.

Whispering Manipulation. The boowray can cast the suggestion spell (spell save DC 13) on a creature it can see. The target automatically fails its saving throw if the boowray's Keen Smell is activated. Once it uses this ability, it can't use it again until it completes a short or long rest.

Description

This whispering spirit delights in corrupting the innocent and inspiring good folk to evil actions. Once it attaches itself to a victim, it provides a constant stream of wicked advice. Over time even the most stalwart souls may find themselves seduced by the sinister allure of evil.

The boowray is a non-corporeal spirit that is normally invisible. When it chooses to become visible, it appears as a tiny, semitransparent humanoid with greenish skin, bright yellow eyes, and mint leaves instead of hair. It dresses in a leafy jerkin tied off at the waist. Its innocent, harmless appearance gives no indication of its malign intent.

Boowrays seem to speak the common languages of the domain in which they are encountered. As others in proximity to the boowray and its victim seem unable to hear the creature, it appears to be somewhat telepathic.

Habitat: Forest
