Actions

Multiattack. Donn makes three melee attacks: two with its pitchfork and one with its horns. It can use Fear Bolt in place of any melee attack.

Pitchfork. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage.

Horns. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d8 + 6) piercing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead or a construct, it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or lose 10 (3d6) hit points at the start of each of its turns due to a magical wound. Each time Donn hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage dealt by the wound increases by 10 (3d6). Any creature can take an action to stanch the wound with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target receives magical healing.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (4d6 + 7) slashing damage plus 22 (5d8) necrotic damage.

Dread Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 150 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d6) psychic damage. 

Bonus Actions

Meld into Darkness. Donn can teleport while in shadows or complete darkness and reappear in another shadow or in the same dark space. 

Nightmare Beast. Donn can change his form from humanoid to beast. During this form change, he gains the same statistics as a Chimera and retains the abilities he has in this stat block. 

Description

"Run, Run, don't shriek and cower! we're almost at the witching hour..."


Donn Adhfhuafaireacht, Dark Beast in Gaelic, is a story that mothers tell misbehaving children. "Donn Adhfhuafaireacht will come into your dreams, lure you away from the waking world, then snatch your body while you are inside your mind!". Little did they know, stories can become more than just words on paper and voices from mouths.

Donn Adhfhuafaireacht hails from the darkness of Feywild, the shadows behind tree's and the darkness of night. He hides under pillows and under beds, walking into dreams of all to sap them of their life force. He feeds on their fears like gods feed on ambrosia.

Donn Adhfhuafaireacht, when not hiding in shadows or in dreams, is a 6'8, black-furred, bipedal goat with skin that pitch black and matte in color. Its head is a ram's with large, dark brown horns sharpened to a point. Its eyes are bright orange and glow faintly in pure darkness. A monster with human-like arms and cloven hooves for feet. 

Sharp iron claws grow from the tips of its fingers, sharper than blades. A almost, imperceptible substance leaks from under its nail beds, necrotic energy in its purest form. 

It carries a large, black metal pitchfork that is wrapped in twine along its wooden handle. The tines appear to weathered due to age but are sharper than needles.
