Traits

Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the zombie to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.

Turn Immunity. Captain Bones is immune to the effects of Turn Undead. 

Storm Eater. Whenever Captain Bones is subject to lightning damage, he doesn't take that damage, and instead restores damage equal to the damage taken. 

 
Actions

Multiattack.
Captain Bones makes two Cutlass Slam attacks, or one Cutlass Slam attack and one Stormburst Hook attack.


Cutlass Slam.
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.
Hit: 11 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage.
If Captain Bones hits the same creature with two Cutlass Slam attacks on the same turn, the target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone and pushed 10 feet away from Captain Bones.


Stormburst Hook.
Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target.
Hit: 10 (2d8 + 2) lightning damage, and the hook embeds in the target.

At the start of Captain Bones’ next turn, he can yank the embedded hook back (no action required). The target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 15 feet toward Captain Bones and take 5 (1d8) bludgeoning damage.

Bonus Actions

Grave Walk (1/day): Captain Bones slams his boot into the deck, unleashing a fog of cursed necrotic energy. All creatures within 10 feet must make a DC 15 Con save or take 9 (3d6) necrotic damage and be blinded until the end of their next turn. On a success, they take half damage and are not blinded. 

Reactions
Undead Riposte. When a creature within 5 feet misses him with a melee attack, Captain Bones can make one Cutlass Slam attack in return.
