Unshaped

Traits

Twisted Resilience. The Unshaped has resistance to necrotic and psychic damage. It is immune to the charmed and frightened conditions.

Echo-Born. The Unshaped’s mind is a vessel for fragmented thoughts. It has advantage on saving throws against being stunned or put to sleep.

Bonus Actions

• Fleshy Surge. The Unshaped violently shifts its malformed body, moving up to half its speed. Its writhing flesh can squeeze through tight spaces, ignoring difficult terrain caused by its own corrupted flesh.

• Writhing Mass. The Unshaped’s flesh undulates grotesquely, forcing all creatures within 5 feet to make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or have their speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of their next turn.

• Flesh Twitch. When a creature misses the Unshaped with a melee attack, the Unshaped can use its reaction to make a bite attack against that creature. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 piercing damage.

• Faltering Grasp. When a creature moves out of the Unshaped’s reach, it can use its reaction to attempt to restrain the creature with slimy flesh. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be restrained until the start of its next turn.

• Minor Reflex. When the Unshaped takes damage, it can whisper dark echoes into the mind of the attacker. The attacker must succeed on a DC 12 Intelligence saving throw or have disadvantage on their next attack roll before the end of their next turn.
