Melted Cheese Core. The Croissant Crawler's insides are comprised of boiling Ham and Cheese. If the Croissant Crawler is targeted with an Unarmed Strike or any ability or spell that requires range of touch, the targeting creature must succeed a DC11 Dexterity Saving Throw or take 1d4 Fire damage as it is burned by the molten cheese within. On a success, the creature takes no damage.
Burned to a Crisp. If the Croissant Crawler takes fire damage, it must succeed a DC 13 Constitution Saving Throw or gain the "Burnt" condition. While a Croissant Crawler has this condition its AC is reduced by 3 and it gains vulnerability to Bludgeoning damage as its body becomes brittle.
Blasphemous Disgust. The Croissant Crawler opens its maw wide, revealing a roiling mass of Cheese and Ham within. Each creature within 10 feet of the Croissant Crawler must succeed a DC11 Wisdom Saving Throw or become Frightened of the Croissant Crawler for 1 minute as the combination of Cheese and Ham within its core fills the creature with disgust. Any creature frightened in this way can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.
Cheesy Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 1) Fire damage.
Burning Ham Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 15/30 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 1) Fire damage.
Description
The Unholy experiments of The Forgotten Realms' most ambitious chefs have yielded many a failed baked good; but the most foul of these abominations was so filled with grave contempt for its own creation it manifested its own twisted sentience.
The Croissant Crawler is a living croissant. Its body is comprised of a single curved croissant about 8 inches wide. Two small eyes made of currants poke from the centre of the croissant. Its mouth manifests as the cut across its centre, and inside it bears no teeth. What remains in its mouth is a bubbling mass of ham and cheese, the one blasphemy that lead to its foul creation.
A Croissant Crawler is a creature of living hate, motivated by the sole need to take revenge on the bakers that created it. It will not stop till every baker in The Forgotten Realms is brought to their knees under its cheesy, ham-filled dominion.
