Actions

Multiattack. The cubeling makes three Dagger or Shortbow attacks, in any combination.

Dagger. Melee Weapon Attack: +7, reach 5 ft. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) Piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) Poison damage.

Shortbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7, range 80/320 ft. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) Piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) Poison damage.

Fling (Recharge 5-6). The cubeling launches itself to a space it can see within 60 feet. Dexterity Saving Throw:  DC 15, each creature within 5 feet of the space where the cubeling lands. Failure: 3 (1d6) Bludgeoning damage, and the target is Prone. Any creature in the space the cubeling landed is moved to the closest unoccupied space as it is shoved aside.

Bonus Actions

Cunning Action. The cubeling takes the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Variable Shape. The cubeling expands or shrink its Size by one category, up to a maximum of Medium and down to a minimum of Tiny. While the cubeling is Small or smaller and it is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the cubeling instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw and only half damage if it fails. While the cubeling's size is Tiny, it may move through a space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing but has Disadvantage on attack rolls.

Description

Not all cubelings are friendly creatures, for some have fallen to the more feral nature presented by the denizens of the underdark. Unfortunately for those that happen upon them, they have organized into efficient hunting tribes. As such they are able to coordinate and attack in the same manner any humanoid would, but bring a heartier physicality to the fight than most other creatures of their size. As cubelings are an alien race to much of the Northern Isles, there have been unfortunate incidents where otherwise friendly cubeling tribes have been assumed hostile. This in turn has done little to ingratiate wider society with cubelings, further isolating them. Yet some teratologists and mages have taken up the hard work as of late to foster understanding and kinship with these ooze-like Humanoids. As such, a few have begun to fold themselves into civilization, and even taken up the mantle of adventurer.
