Hive Mind. The Blighted Spinosaurus shares a hive mentality with other Blighted creatures, allowing them to coordinate attacks. If one Blighted creature is aware of a hostile creature, all others in the hive mind are also aware.
Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Blighted Spinosaurus can infect creatures with the Blighted Scourge. A creature hit by the Spinosaurus’s attack must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.
Aquatic Predator. The Blighted Spinosaurus can breathe both air and water and has advantage on Stealth checks while submerged.
Blighted Roar (Recharge 5-6). The Blighted Spinosaurus emits a roar infused with blighted energy. Each creature within 30 feet that can hear it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Necrotic Breath (Recharge 5-6). The Blighted Spinosaurus exhales a wave of blighted energy in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 49 9d10 blighted energy damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save are also infected with the Blighted Scourge.
Multiattack. The Blighted Spinosaurus makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws. It cannot make both attacks against the same target.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 25 (3d12 + 7) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be infected with the Blighted Scourge.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 7) slashing damage.
Description
The Blighted Spinosaurus is a monstrous, corrupted predator that roams the swamps, rivers, and coastlines of the Blighted Lands. Once a formidable apex predator, the Spinosaurus has been twisted by the Blighted Scourge, its massive sail now pulsating with eerie energy, and its once-magnificent scales now warped with blackened veins and jagged spines. It moves effortlessly between land and water, lurking in the depths before launching terrifying ambushes against unsuspecting prey.
Despite its size, the Blighted Spinosaurus is an agile and intelligent hunter, using its hive-linked awareness to track enemies with unnatural precision. When it roars, the blighted energy within its body erupts outward, striking fear into those who hear it. Its very presence corrupts the land around it, leaving behind a toxic environment that festers with the Scourge.
Unlike other Blighted creatures that rely solely on brute force, the Blighted Spinosaurus possesses a deadly breath attack, unleashing a wave of seething blighted energy capable of melting flesh and warping reality. It dominates the waterways and wetlands, ensuring that few creatures—blighted or otherwise—can challenge its rule.
