Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces the coffer corpse 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 coffer corpse drops to 1 hit point instead.
Turn Defiance. The coffer corpse has advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.
Deceiving Death. When the coffer corpse takes 10 damage at once before resistances, the creature slumps to the ground, seemingly destroyed. If it has fastened its death grip on a victim, it releases its hold. A DC 15 Wisdom (insight) check can see through the ruse. On its next turn, the coffer corpse rises again and uses its Fear ability
Natural Weapons. The coffer corpse's hands are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances.
Death Grip. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) bludgeoning damage and the target is grappled (Escape DC 13). While grappled in this way, the target is choking (see the suffocation rules) and can not cast any spells with verbal components. While grappling a target, the coffer corpse can only use its death grip on that target.
Fear. A creature that can see the coffer corpse within 60 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The affected creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Description
The coffer corpse is an undead creature formed as a result of an incomplete death ritual. It is often found haunting stranded funeral barges or in other situations where a corpse has not been delivered to its final resting place. the creature hates life and attacks living creatures on sight. A coffer corpse appears much as it did in life. At a distance, a coffer corpse is often mistaken for a zombie.
