Bandersnatch[edit]
|
Huge monstrosity, unaligned Armor Class 15 (natural armor)
Skills Perception +5, Stealth +6 Forest Camouflage. The bandersnatch has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in forests, woodlands, or other terrain of abundant foliage. Frumious Fury. While it has 40 hit points or fewer, the bandersnatch has advantage on attack rolls. In addition, it deals an extra 10 (3d6) fire damage to any target it hits with a melee attack. Keen Smell. The bandersnatch has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Magic Weapons. The bandersnatch's weapon attacks are magical. ACTIONSMultiattack. The bandersnatch uses its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 16). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained, the bandersnatch can automatically hit the creature with its bite attack, and the bandersnatch can’t use its bite against another target. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) slashing damage. Frightful Presence. Each creature of the bandersnatch’s choice that is within 30 feet of the bandersnatch and aware of it must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the bandersnatch’s Frightful Presence for 24 hours. Frumious Discharge (Recharge 5-6). The bandersnatch magically vents steam in a 20-foot radius. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 28 (8d6) fire damage and is blinded until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't blinded.

The bandersnatch is a ferocious woodland predator with a taste for humanoids. Travelers and merchants that wander too far from their caravans are often stalked and killed by these beasts. Monstrous Hybrid. A bandersnatch is a chimerical fusion of the head and hindquarters of a lion, the neck of a snake, and the forequarters of a grizzly bear. It is as large as an elephant, yet its fur blends in with the surrounding foliage and its padded feet make little noise on the forest floor. Its victims are often blissfully unaware that a bandersnatch is following them until its fangs sink into their flesh. Fuming Rage. Claws and fangs aren’t a bandersnatch’s only weapons. It can burn its opponents by venting scalding steam from special pores all over its body. It emits more steam the more injured it gets, until its body is surrounded by a constant heat haze. |
