Halloween Monsters

[talarei07]

I Thought it would be fun/funny to create a thread of halloween theme monsters, serious or humorous it doesnt matter lets see what we can do. also if you see one on here go ahead make your own version if you have different idea.

So here we go with:

A Jack-o'-Lantern can give off light as a torch or extinguish this light. Fey light must be on for the Jack-o'-Lantern to make any attack. When darkened, the Jack-o'-Lantern has concealment and can make a Stealth check to remain unnoticed.

A Jack-o'-Lantern is created when a powerful individual make a deal with very powerful evil being and attempts to break the deal they are turned into a undead soul trapped in a pumpkin with eyes, nose and mouth carved into it that glow with an unearthly fire

Ima probably do a halloween campagain involving the search for waldo. This should be fun.

Good work, a few things though:

Candle light is called fey light in the description

There is no basic attack.

There is no fire resistance

There is no CHA score

Why did you choose 14 Hp for the life drain attack? 1/4 health (surge value) is 32.

It could have the plant subtype, being a pumpkin.

It seems more like artillery then controller. You could reduce some damage and add some annoying/harmful effects.

Low light vision (in the place of darkvision) seems strange to have, as it must turn off it's light to hide and wait for prey. It's up to you but I would run it as an ambush monster.

Luring glow shouldn't be a 20 square (100 foot) range. It seems like it would be better suited as an aura.

Kudos

its luring glow from will-o'-wisp except i changed it from a burst to blast because the light only can be seen from one side of it and i wasnt really thinking about the fact that blast is 20x20. i want it to be a blast but im not sure how big

OK I can’t resist.

Let me present the Trick-or-Treant, a large black spooky tree that crosses over to the middle world from the darkest Feywild on Hallows night. It is a brutish angry dervish of twisting and flailing branches.

Trick or Treat (Minor; recharge )
The creature stares at you with a knotted eye and an unholy laughter
echoes in your mind, is this a dark omen or blessing in disguise?

takes a Trick attack, on an even number the target takes a Treat attack:

Treant steals an item the target is wielding or carrying (DMs choice), this
item is removed from play until the Trick-or-Treant is destroyed

the end of the encounter
