One humanoid that the watcher can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the watcher; the watcher then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The watcher now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness. The watcher can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the watcher ends it as a bonus action, or the watcher is turned or forced out by an effect like the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, the watcher reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body. The target is immune to this watcher's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.

The Watcher, By azraeltodd, Source The watcher is evil and a shadow taking shape. And they embrace it as part of them as the powers of the lords they’re sworn to serve. Spiteful, fast-talking and cruel, they are nevertheless one of their lord’s most trusted servants. Empowered by them, the watchers flagrantly torture and humiliate their charges, dripping poisonous insults and sarcasm onto their prostrate forms. When a watcher captures a soul they never leave it, and then the watcher jumps at the chance to lay their enemies low. Nevertheless, the watcher is not without ambitions, they are more than willing to cheat, betray and kill any and all even their masters if that is what it takes to get what they want. It is more proof that even demons should be careful what they wish for...
