[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8336863, member: 2209"] [URL=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/282615/5E-Lovecraftian-Horrors?affiliate_id=17596]5e Lovecraftian Monsters[/URL] 5e [b]Watchman:[/b] When a lonely person drowns, Hastur might replace the corpse’s heart with a slasher worm, animating it as a watchman. If the watchman is destroyed, the slasher worm finds another humanoid host. It then tracks down the nearest blood relative of the original corpse – only by inhabiting a blood relative can the slasher worm turn it into another watchman. Slasher Worm's Body Thief power. [b]Ghost of Ib, Ghost Ibian:[/b] Although they hail from the Astral Plane, ibians have a strong tether to their cities that not even death can break. When the men of Sarnath slew the Ibians, they returned in ghostly hordes to continue their dances to Bokrug, emptying the city completely. [b]Y'm-Bhi:[/b] The k’n-yanites torture and mutilate their criminals and any other humanoids who cross their path, reanimating them without their heads as a final indignity to serve as guards. [b]Nyarlathotep Servitor Hunting-Horror:[/b] ? [b]Yig Servitor Animating Spirit:[/b] When serpentfolk priests die, Yig blesses a select few with an Amulet that allows them to continue as spirits. [b]Yig Servitor Medusa Coil:[/b] A medusa coil is the serpent-haired remains of a particularly powerful medusa, reanimated as a form of vengeance from beyond the grave. Medusa coils traditionally reanimated along with the medusa in revenant form, but the medusa itself is bald because its coil takes on a life of its own. [b]Revenant:[/b] A medusa coil is the serpent-haired remains of a particularly powerful medusa, reanimated as a form of vengeance from beyond the grave. Medusa coils traditionally reanimated along with the medusa in revenant form, but the medusa itself is bald because its coil takes on a life of its own. Body Thief. The slasher worm initiates a Dexterity contest with an incapacitated humanoid within 5 feet of it. If it wins the contest, the slasher worm enters the humanoid's body through an orifice and takes control of the target’s body. While inside a creature, the slasher worm has total cover against attacks and other effects originating outside its host. The slasher worm retains its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores and its traits. It otherwise adopts the target’s statistics. It knows everything the creature knew, including spells and languages. If the host body drops to 0 hit points, the slasher worm must leave it. A protection from evil and good spell cast on the body drives the slasher worm out. The slasher worm is also forced out by means of a wish.
