Traits

Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny raven. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Eyes of the Mistwood. The swarm has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight. If another infected creature is within 300 feet of the swarm, the swarm instinctively knows its direction.

Scavenger’s Hunger. The swarm has advantage on attack rolls against creatures missing hit points.

Actions

Diseased Beaks. Melee Attack Roll: +4, reach 5 ft. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) Piercing damage, or 2 (1d4) Piercing damage if the swarm is Bloodied. plus 2 (1d4) necrotic damage.

Maddening Cacophony. (Recharge 5-6). Each creature within 15 feet of the swarm that can hear it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. Failure: The target has disadvantage on attack rolls until the start of the swarm’s next turn, and is unable to take reactions until then. If a creature fails the save by 5 or more, it is also frightened of the swarm until the end of its next turn.

Description

The ravens’ feathers are slick with black rot and wet ash. Their eyes glow faintly amber in the dark, and their cries sound unnervingly similar to distant human screams.

Necrophage Plague

While infected:

  • The creature cannot regain hit points except through magical healing.
  • Whenever the creature finishes a long rest, its hit point maximum is reduced by 5 (1d10).
  • If this reduces the creature’s hit point maximum to 0, it dies.

A humanoid killed this way rises as a necrophage zombie after 1 hour unless the body is burned.

The disease is cured by Lesser Restoration or similar magic.
