(sorry its such an interesting creature I couldn't help myself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) I might have been a little too enthusiastic with the design, but it would certainly be an interesting and serious threat! (if you don’t mind, I might add this to my ongoing “Book of Serious Threats”). Draugr (dwarf vampire) Level 8 Solo Controller Medium Shadow Humanoid (undead) XP 1,750  Initiative +7 Senses Perception +11, darkvision HP 350;
