Traits

Intelligence Sense. The puppeteer is aware of creatures with an intelligence score of 3 or higher within 3000ft of it. It also knows its Intelligence score. This trait only shows the location to the intellect devourer, not how to get there.

Actions

Multiattack. The puppeteer makes Two claw attacks and uses Devour Intellect or Psionic Puppetry.  It can replace one claw with a use of spellcasting to cast Tasha's Mind Whip.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) Slashing damage.

Devour Intellect. Intelligence Saving Throw: DC 16, one creature to intellect devourer can see within 5ft. Failure: 19 (3d12) Psychic damage, and the target is stunned until the end of the puppeteers next turn. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target's brain is devoured and it dies.

Psionic Puppetry. The puppeteer targets up to 3 Brainless corpses within 30ft of it. The puppeteer , then forms a telepathic bond with the target, causing it to control the corpse, making it appear alive and let the puppeteer see and hear through the creature's senses. This control ends if the telepathic link is dismissed (no action required) Or the target is killed again. The only change to the creatures stat block is their creature type changes to Aberration. The puppeteer can only control 3 creatures at a time within 1 mile of it.

Spellcasting. The Puppeteer casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (Spell Save DC 16)                    

At Will: Tasha's Mind Whip*, Detect Thoughts

1/Day: Plane Shift (Self and Puppets only) Intellect Fortress* (Level 5 Version, Puppets only)

Description

When a Intellect devourer preforms  a particularly exceptional scheme and succeeds, an Ulitharid in the colony may bestow upon them the power to remotely control victims and greater psionic abilities. They are very loyal to the ulitharid the spawned them and follow its commands loyally. Intellect Devourer Puppeteers usually are protecting their masters, furthering mind flayer plots, or commanding groups of intellect devourers.

Habitat: Underdark
