Transparent. Any creatures that rely on sight for making attacks have disadvantage on attacks when trying to hit the akleu.
Avoidance. If the akleu is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails.
Pounce. If the akleu moves at least 20 ft. straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the akleu can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The akleu deals an extra 9 (3d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 ft. of an ally of the akleu that isn’t incapacitated and the akleu doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Multi attack. The akleu makes two claw attacks.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 3) piercing damage and the target must make a dc 17 constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1d4 rounds.
Uncanny dodge. When the akleu takes damage it can choose to use its reaction to halve the damage.
Description
Vicious pack hunters native to Xoriat. Importes by the daelkyr millennia ago to serve as assassins. They prefer to attack from ambush, striking quickly with tooth and nail, then dragging away victims to be skinned and consumed.
Akleu are humanoids with translucent bodies and a hunched stature. Though its translucent skin, akleu reveal their purple organs, skeletal structure, and beady black eyes. An akleu's arms and legs possess multiple joins, allowing it to flex them in unusual angles. Its hands and feet are clawed, and its head is flat and wedge-shaped with poisoned teeth. If they stood erect, an akleu would measure 6 feet tall.
Akleu are vicious hunters, preferring to hunt their prey in packs of up to eight creatures. They prefer ambush tactics to front-line assaults. They are nomadic creatures, roaming from place to place in search of prey. They act much like lions, with dominant males leading packs, and mating with the females that do most of the hunting
