Traits

Hold Breath. The afanc can hold its breath for up to one hour.

Actions

Multiattack. The afanc can make two attacks: one with its Bite and one with its Claw.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10 (4d4) poison damage. On a successful save, the target takes half damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Shapechanger. As an action, the afanc can polymorph into a dwarf or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is not transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Poison Spit (Recharge 5–6). The afanc spits out a large glob of poisonous slime to a point it can see within 40 feet of it. The poisonous glob explodes once it hits the chosen point in a 10–foot–radius sphere. All creatures within the sphere must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 15 (6d4) poison damage. On a successful save, the target takes half damage.

Bonus Actions

Grudge. As a bonus action, the afanc can designate a creature it can see within 60 feet of it to be the target of its grudge. The grudge lasts for one hour. For the duration of the grudge, the afanc deals an additional 1d6 damage whenever it hits it with an attack. Additionally, the afanc has advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) and (Survival) check it makes to find the target of its grudge.

Description

The afanc makes its home in a lake or pool. It has a short temper and takes poorly to those who would intrude on its domain. It has the head of a poison spitting crocodile and the body of a beaver.

Bearer of Grudges. Nothing holds a grudge like an afanc. Legend holds that it once made enemies of three princes, whom it killed each day, allowing their courtiers to resurrect them each night.

Easily Charmed.  The afanc is a fool for a pretty face. It has been known to lay its head down and sleep in a fair person’s lap while their family and friends creep up to ambush it.
