Caution - Here there be monsters! This content intends to provide a different experience, or goes beyond the scope of the anticipated subjects and situations, than the 5e rules were intended to handle. Some portions of the content below may not be what you expect from traditional game content.

This creature was created as part of the Player Equivalent CR variant rule using the rogue class and spy background, and as such does not follow traditional CR.
