Traits

Pack Tactics. When another bush demon is near the creature it wants to attack. All of his attacks are made with disadvantage.

Actions

Multiattack. The bush demon makes one Bite attack and one claw attack. They can replace one bite attack with a Claw attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Poisonous Mane (Recharge 6). The creature is covered in small poisonous needles that cover its body almost everywhere, it can choose to unleash these in a 10 feet radius around it. Each creature in that  sphere  must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 12 (4d6) piercing damage on a failed save or nothing  on a successful one. A creature failing  must pass a DC 16 Constitution Saving Throw taking 12 (4d6) poison damage and become poisoned for 1 hour or half as much on a failed save with no other condition.

Reactions

Reckless Hunger. The first time an enemy takes damage, the beast can choose to move up to half his movement and make a bite attack on the damaged enemy as a reaction. Once he used this he can't do it again on the same creature for the remainder of the fight. If the beast manages to hurt the enemy with reckless hunger, it gains advantage on all attack rolls for a round but the enemy gets advantage on all their rolls for the round.

Description

The Bush demons of the red sands are one of the most fearsome creatures that "roam" the desert. They hide in plane sight as simple bushes in both the desert and on some Shifting Oasis. They are active during the day and go to sleep deep underground during the night because they can get most of the nutrients they need from the  sun and the weave in the sand. They mostly fight with Giant Scorpions and Centipedes but from time to time a humanoid crosses their path.

They look like large wolves with very thick and large fur covered almost entirely with very sharp needles that carry a distinct poison, if the creatures physique doesn't kill you, the poison sure will.

They usually "hunt" in packs of up to 3-4 individuals but sometime, some end up at 5-6 where one of them is an alpha.

Habitat: Desert

Namibian
