Actions
Rotting Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the crocodile mummy can't bite another target. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with mummy rot. The cursed target can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by 10 (3d6) for every 24 hours that elapse. If the curse reduces the target's hit points to 0, the target dies, and its body turns to dust. The curse lasts until removed by the
remove curse spell or other magic.
Dreadful Glare. The mummy targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. If the target can see the mummy, it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened until the end of the mummy's next turn. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also paralyzed for the same duration. A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of all mummies (but not mummy lords) for the next 24 hours.
Description
Mummified reptiles animated by ancient necromantic rituals to guard funerary or religious complexes, crocodile mummies lack intelligence and free will and are functionally undead automata resembling zombies. Like human mummies, their desiccated remains are wrapped in linen imbued with dark magic.
