Hive Mind. The Blighted Ash Wraith shares a hive mentality with other Blighted creatures, allowing them to act in unison.

Death Burst. When the Blighted Ash Wraith reaches 0 HP, it explodes in a burst of ash and necrotic energy. Each creature within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) necrotic damage and be infected with the Blighted Scourge.

Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Ash Wraith can afflict creatures with the Blighted Scourge..

 Withering Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or have their hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken and they are afflicted with the blighted scourge. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.

Ash Veil (Recharge 5-6). The Ash Wraith releases a thick cloud of ash in a 15-foot radius around itself. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded until the end of the Ash Wraith’s next turn. The area becomes heavily obscured until the start of the Ash Wraith’s next turn.
