Traits

Aura of Starvation. Creatures that begin their turn within 10 feet of the Butcher Knight must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw: DC 13 or suffer disadvantage on opportunity attacks and Strength checks until the start of their next turn as weakness overtakes them.

Relentless Butcher. The Butcher Knight reduces all forced movement against it by 10 feet.

Harvest Flesh. When a Small or Medium creature dies within 15ft of the Butcher Knight, it may consume part of the corpse as a bonus action to regain 8 hit points. Humanoid corpses consumed this way become grotesquely mutilated.

Actions

Multiattack. The Butcher Knight makes two attacks with its Cleaver Hook

Cleaver Hook. Melee Weapon Roll: +6 reach 10 ft. Hit 11 (1d12 + 5) Slashing damage plus 4 (1d8) Necrotic damage.

Reactions

Iron Intercept. When a creature within 5 feet of the Butcher Knight is attacked, the Butcher Knight may impose disadvantage on the attack roll by forcing the strike into its own armour plating.

Grasp the Weak. When a creature attempts to move away from the Butcher Knight, it may make one Cleaver Hook attack against that creature. If the attack hits, the target’s speed becomes 0 until the end of the turn.

Description

The Butcher Knights are towering undead executioners sealed within rusted ceremonial plate and stained butcher’s aprons, their bodies swollen with necrotic hunger beneath layers of iron and rotting flesh. Once enforcers of cruel rationing and brutal punishment, they now wander slaughter houses and blood-soaked halls in grim silence, dragging hooked chains through pools of gore while the stench of decay follows wherever they tread. They fight without fear or mercy, hacking apart the weak with massive cleavers before feeding upon the dead to sustain their cursed existence, their presence alone leaving mortals drained and trembling with unnatural starvation.
