Silent Wraith of the Abyssal Lamentations

19 hours ago by Admin - Monsters

In the dark corners of forgotten ruins, a presence lingers—ethereal and cold. This entity, a manifestation of sorrow and regret, exudes an unsettling silence that unnerves those who enter its domain. Cloaked in tattered remnants of shadow, it drifts through the air, its form constantly shifting and swirling as if caught in an eternal breeze. Those who hear its lamenting whispers feel the weight of their own past failings, seeing visions of despair and missed opportunities. When threatened, it retaliates with an unearthly sorrow that can drain the joy from even the bravest of souls.

Incorporeal Movement. The entity can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Ethereal Sight. The entity can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.

Lament of the Lost (Recharge 5–6). The entity emits an anguished wail. Each creature of its choice that can hear it within a 30-foot radius must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 27 (6d8) psychic damage and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not incapacitated.

Sorrowful Visions. Whenever a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the entity, it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the end of its next turn.

Actions

Multiattack. The entity makes two Touch of Despair attacks.

Touch of Despair. Melee Spell Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 22 (4d8 + 5) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.

Legendary Actions
The entity can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The entity regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

• Ethereal Step. The entity magically shifts from the Material Plane to the Ethereal Plane, or vice versa.
• Disquieting Whisper (Costs 2 Actions). The entity targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or take 10 (3d6) psychic damage and have disadvantage on its next attack roll.
• Echo of the Past (Costs 3 Actions). The entity creates an illusory image of a creature from the target’s past that manifests in a space within 30 feet of them. This creature attempts to communicate something urgent, forcing the target to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened until the end of its next turn.
