Traits

Avoidance. If this creature is subjected to a saving throw where it takes half damage on a success and full damage on a failure, this creature takes no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.

Mind Warp. If a creature that isn't a construct or aberration with an intelligence of 4 or higher comes within 1 mile of this creature, the creature must roll a DC 30 Charisma saving throw. On a failure the creature's mind begins to warp horribly. In one hour, the creature will begin hearing faint distant screams mixed with noises that sound like beast roars. After 1d4 hours, the creature will start felling a sense of imminent dread. After another 1d6 hours, the creature falls into madness. While in this inexplicable madness, a creature violently attacks all creatures who are not suffering from the madness, destroys everything they can get their hands on, and actively seeks out other creatures to kill. A creature in the stages before the madness will fall into madness early if another creature within 1 mile of itself falls into madness. This madness lasts for 2 hours, or until the creature who has this trait dies. After the madness ends, the creatures affected have no recollection of their actions while mad, instead remembering an indistinct shadowy figure of an impossibly great size causing the destruction. Any mention of the shadowy figure causes those affected by this trait to suffer from the frightened condition for one minute thereafter. 

Inconspicuous. This creature has advantage on stealth checks, and can take the hide action as a bonus action. 

Undetectable. This creature cant be sensed, located, or identified by magic.

 

 

Actions

Multiattack. This creature makes two claw attacks.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 slashing damage.

 

Bonus Actions

Dash and Dodge. This creature takes the dash and dodge actions.

Reactions

Call of Chaos. If this creature is to take damage from another creature, this creature lets out a small, catlike call. The creature damaging this creature must succeed on a DC 30 Wisdom saving throw or the damage they dealt to this creature is nullified and they loose all memories of this creature. 

Description

Exerpts from The esteemed diary of Adventurer Celetorus Moon

7/1/444

"I have been adventuring Wildspace for 3 months now, and I after 2 weeks without contact, I have arrived at a strange planet. It looks similar to many other planets at a first glance, but monsters on the planet are so rare that many of its inhabitants have never seen one. The few monsters I have seen however are most interesting and unique. I must stay here for further wildlife study."

"After seeking information in many cities of the world, I have been informed many times of a monster known only as 'the most feared monster'. The descriptions I have gotten about it are vague and not very informative, as every person who has had an encounter seems fearful of even mentioning the creature. The descriptions all describe a shadowy monster larger than anything but the very world. Upon contemplation, I believe this monster is the cause of the lack of other monsters. I will further research this creature in the cities up north of this planet."

"Today has been very eventful. I have gotten more descriptions of "the most feared monster", though they often countered each other. One proclaimed it had several heads, some others said it took the shape of a massive bird, another the shape of a dragon, even one said a never ending snake. I may have believed the monster was fake if the witnesses didn't all express great fear of the beast. Another important thing of note is that I spotted a creature I have never seen before today; it had the appearance of a black foxlike creature with blue-green captivatingly large eyelashes, a long, catlike tail, and jade eyes with the same color ear, tail, and paw tips. I attempted to identify the creature but the spell failed for an unknown reason, and the creature fled faster than I could blink. Now, as I write this, I have begun hearing screams of pain and beast like roars coming from the distance, and I have confirmed with my crewmembers of the sounds, though even as we search, we cannot find the source. I will continue to investigate this tomorrow.

"I cannot stay here any longer. I have met It, "The Most Terrifying Monster", and the creature was as bad- no, worse than they all said. It destroyed everything; the city I was staying in, my ship sustainers, even the ship itself. I have lost all my belongings; destroyed in the chaos that thing made, and all I have left is myself and a few of my ragged crewmembers. It ... no, I cant even write about it anymore, my mind screams at the thought of reliving the experience. I need to leave here. Thats all I need to know."
