Hive Mind. The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord 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 Hive Lord can infect creatures with the Blighted Scourge. A creature hit by the Hive Lord’s attack must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.
Aquatic Predator. The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord can breathe both air and water and has advantage on Stealth checks while submerged.
Aura of Dread. The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord radiates a 20-foot aura of dread. Any creature that starts its turn within the aura must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn. Creatures that fail this save also take 10 (3d6) blighted energy damage. Blighted creatures are immune to this effect.
Multiattack. The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord 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: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (3d12 + 7) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be infected with the Blighted Scourge.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d10 + 7) slashing damage.
Blighted Roar (Recharge 5-6). The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord emits a roar infused with blighted energy. Each creature within 40 feet that can hear it must succeed on a DC 18 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 Hive Lord exhales a wave of blighted energy in a 40-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (8d10) 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.
Description
The Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord is a monstrous apex predator, towering over the blighted swamps and corrupted waterways where it thrives. Once a dominant hunter of both land and water, it has now been fully consumed by the Blighted Scourge, transforming into a terrifying juggernaut of decay and domination.
Unlike its lesser kin, the Hive Lord exudes an Aura of Dread, an oppressive field of corruptive energy that weakens the will of those who come near. The sheer blighted presence it emanates instills instinctual terror in all but the most hardened warriors, while those who fall under its influence suffer the slow decay of the Blighted Scourge.
With powerful razor-sharp claws and bone-crushing jaws, the Hive Lord rips through enemies with terrifying efficiency. Its roar, tainted with blighted energy, echoes across its hunting grounds, causing lesser creatures to flee in blind panic, while those too slow or weak succumb to its corruption. In combat, it can unleash a corruptive breath, a noxious wave of blighted energy that rots flesh, saps vitality, and spreads the infection like wildfire.
What makes the Blighted Spinosaurus Hive Lord even more fearsome is its legendary resilience and connection to the Hive Mind. It can summon reinforcements from the depths of its blighted domain, commanding lesser Blighted creatures to swarm its prey. In its presence, even the land and water seem to turn against its foes—corrupting, infecting, and consuming all who dare to defy it.
It is one of the most feared Blighted monstrosities, a harbinger of the Supreme Scourge's will, and a relentless executioner of any who resist the blighted plague. Whether stalking through corrupted marshlands, lurking in Blighted Depths, or reigning over desecrated ruins, the Hive Lord is an unstoppable force of destruction.
