I was thinking similar (i.e. a broader than merely humanoid/giant - so "Any creature that is not a celestial, construct, fiend or undead" sounds fine to me. Aberrations I could go either way on.

I meant image - otherwise dndbeyond complies with cleon version as is...?

Looking at the pink segments - reiterating that yes needs te poisonous bite and poison darts. And bite needs to carry risk of lycanthropy

ok so all the locusts are waiting on is a description? additionally, should it do a tad more damage than the normal swarm of locusts?

ok - you were not so keen on the beguiling aura?

(happy to add one on dndbeyond if consensus can be reached here :))

ok so thinking of the lesser one first, it has to be substantively different from the published one: Vampiric Mist I thought of lair action ideas: - any healing spell or spell-like power has a 2 in 6 chance of failing. On a '1', the subject suffers an equivalent amount of necrotic damage...

Scarlet Death I like (I mean...we could also go with "Red death" as in "Masque of...") (For background, in my homebrew campaign, Lilith as an embodiment of emptiness/desolation/loneliness is the progenitor of Ravenloft. Lilith later brought Cain, the first Vampire, into being. Cain the Hungry...

I just stuck up "blood mist" as a placeholder name for the time being. "Crimson mist exists for the srd version. I guess "Scarlet Mist" or "Crimson death" or "red mist"? The canon version I was just leaving as the name. I was just imagining this as a larger and more malevolent version of the...

Actually coming out as more CR 7 I think....
