As the elghonn enjoys sensing fear in its prey, it often employs a debilitating poison brewed from several Underdark fungi. The poison gradually weakens the prey, reducing Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores by 2 points every hour. The victim must make a saving throw vs. poison to resist the effects of the elghonn’s debilitating concoction when it is first injected (usually by means of a crossbow bolt or other missile weapon.) Poisoned prey eventually fall to the ground, paralyzed but fully conscious, when any one of their three ability scores falls to 0.
