Traits

Horrifying Aura. Any creature hostile to the bloody bones that starts its turn within 10 feet of the bloody bones must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the bloody bone's Horrifying Aura for the next 24 hours.

Horrific Imitation. The bloody bones chooses one creature it can see. It moves, acts, and speaks in a macabre imitation of the creature. Its utterances are nonsense, and it can't understand the languages of its chosen target. It maintains this imitation until it dies. A creature that hears and sees the bloody bones can tell it is performing an imitation with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.

Actions

Multiattack. The bloody bones makes two claw attacks. It can use its Dark Stare in place of one claw attack.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage.

Dark Stare. The bloody bones stares balefully at one creature it can see within 60 feet. That creature must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on all attacks until the end of its next turn.

Reactions

Its Crown Runs Read. When it is hit by an attack, the bloody bones regains 5 (1d10) hit points and has resistance to that damage type until the end of its next turn as life-giving blood pours from the top of its skull

Description

A long-limbed, pale humanoid pears out from the darkness with its glowing eyes. As it slinks out from behind its perch in an ally or from under a bridge, its skinless head reveals the fountain of blood that pours from its head and covers its body. Often found under bridges, stairs, or in deserted homes the bloody bones feeds upon the suffering of those around. Rise in murders and violent crimes is a tell-tale sign that a bloody bones is dwelling nearby
