Familiar. The undead pseudophoenix can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a magic, telepathic bond with that willing companion. While the two are bonded, the companion can sense what the pseudophoenix senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. While the pseudophoenix is within 10 feet of its companion, the companion shares the pseudophoenix’s Magic Resistance trait. At any time and for any reason, the pseudophoenix can end its service as a familiar, ending the telepathic bond.

Limited Telepathy. The undead pseudophoenix can magically communicate simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically with any creature within 100 feet of it that can understand a language.

Magic Resistance. The undead pseudophoenix has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Fire's Glow. The undead pseudophoenix's normal firey glow is barely visible, providing only 5 ft of dim light. If a spell that does fire damage or can create fire is cast on the pseudophoenix it regains it's previous firey glow for the next 1 hour, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.
