Description
Spawn of Mother of Darkness
im using this 100%
the grapple only works on huge targets because using it against medium creatures is redundant because the grappled condition already reduces speed to zero
Due to the Explode damage, CR may be closer to 1/8 I think. (I doubt 1/4 but possible. It is definitely less than the Gas Spore's CR of 1/2.)
I'm using this in a trap where my players are trapped in a large room with a summoning circle surrounded by 30 runes, one rune glows every second in a clockwise manner and to prevent the circle from glowing and "summoning something bad" they have to put one drop of blood in the centre of the circle in the process summoning one of these. In actuality if they let it get to 30 seconds they get released from the room and don't have to deal with exploding shadow babies
Who is mother of darkness?

Baby of darkness is perhaps the greatest homebrew monster in all of DND history.
This is truly the pinnacle of creativity and ingenuity within the field of game design.
I rate this:
10 undead babies / 10
Can you put a saddle on them to benefit from the mach speed?
I did, and his reaction was hilarious.
Absolutely incredible.
Yeah...
I made this so my BBEG can spawn them and my team hates me only due to the fact that my BBEG spawned 12 per action and has two actions making it spawn 24 each turn it had and I have only four players. That means there is enough to make them not able to move in one turn and kill them the next turn.
this... This is the best thing ever
That's why I'm here
Baby of darkness strat:
Run an encounter with a few vampires with a ton of babies of darkness. Whenever the vampires get low, the babies use their legendary actions to explode, healing the vampires since they heal from necrotic damage.
I actually used this in a dungeon in which my players had to defeat 10 Babies of darkness and every round 1 more Baby of darkness would spawn.
