A bone tyrant's main strength is its ability to control undead, which is similar to an evil cleric's rebuke undead ability but far more powerful. Bone tyrants come in two varieties, the large bone tyrant masters and  the man-sized bone tyrant minions. A master bone tyrant has a  supernatural bond with its minions which allows them to  communicate telepathically and share their power to subjugate undead. Bone tyrants are usually encountered as protectors of unholy places of worship when on the Prime Material Plane. On their native plane, bone tyrants control hordes of lesser undead on behalf of a godlike Infernal power, such as an Archduke of Hell. A master bone tyrant may be called by a planar ally or greater planar  ally  spell.  If it agrees a bargain to use its Unholy Sentinel ability, it  automatically  summons a full complement of six bone tyrant minions. A bone tyrant master stands 8 feet tall and weighs about 250 pounds.I've worded it so we just need to swap the last two paragraphs for the Minion version.A minion bone tyrant may be called by a lesser planar ally  spell.  They can also be summoned by a bone tyrant master who has agrees a bargain to use its Unholy Sentinel ability. A bone tyrant minion stands 5 to 6 feet tall and weighs about 60 pounds.What thinks thee?</blockquote>
