---

Object. The marker automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and it is immune to effects that require other saves.

Persistent Influence. When the marker is reduced to 0 hit points, it crumbles into dust and leaves behind 11 (2d10) shards. Each shard is a Tiny object with AC 19, 27 hit points, and immunity to psychic and poison damage. Each shard has the Dead Space, and Necromorph Genesis effects, but the radius of both is reduced to 5 feet. If the marker is reduced to 0 hit points by a spell or effect that would disintegrate it, it leaves no shards behind. When the marker and all of its shards are destroyed, all Necromorphs within 10 miles of it and its shards are immediately destroyed and reduced to a pile of inanimate sludge. If the sludge is brought within 40 feet of another marker, it reconstitutes into the Necromorph it once was, regaining all its hit points and becoming active again.

Effects

Dead Space. Necromorphs cannot willingly move within 15 feet of the marker and if one targets a creature within that area with an attack it must first make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the Necromorph loses the attack.

Dementia. For each 1 hour period a creature spends within 1 mile of the marker, the creature must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw (Constructs and Undead automatically succeed). On a failed save, the creature suffers one level of dementia. If an already demented creature spends another 1 hour period within the presence of the marker, the DC of the saving throw increases as described below. For every 1 hour period a demented creature does not spend within the presence of a marker, its dementia level is reduced by 1 to a minimum of 1. Unless targeted by a greater restoration spell or similar effect, the creature will always have at least 1 level of dementia, but that level of dementia is suppressed while not in the presence of a marker.

Level	Next Wisdom DC	Effect
1	12	The creature has difficulty sleeping and constantly has dreams of inky black and oily shadows. The creature takes an extra 4 hours to gain the benefits of finishing a long rest.
2	14	The creature begins showing signs of paranoia, having feelings of being watched. The creature has disadvantage on all Charisma based ability checks and gains a form of short-term madness.
3	16	The creature suffers extreme paranoia. The creature has disadvantage on Wisdom and Charisma checks and gains a form of long-term madness.
4	18	The creature begins to hallucinate, seeing visions of loved ones regardless of if they are dead or alive. The creature can see through the illusion with a successful DC 17 Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check.
5	20	The creature begins to hear voices that issue simple commands. If the creature does not immediately follow the command, it takes 11 (2d10) psychic damage.
6	22	The voices in the creature's head speak to it often and it begins to agree with what they're saying. The creature is charmed and gains a form of indefinite madness.
7	N/A	The creature becomes a thrall under the control of the markers and brethren moons. Only the wish spell can free the thrall from this control. The thrall feels an overwhelming urge to build more markers and spread their influence.

 

Necromorph Genesis. Any corpse that remains within 40 feet of the marker for 1 hour rises as a Necromorph at the end of that hour. The type of Necromorph is chosen at random by the GM, as long as it is the same size or smaller than the corpse. At the GM's discretion, if multiple corpses are within close proximity to each other in that area, they may fuse together and rise as a larger type of necromorph, such as a brute, pregnant, tripod, or other type of Necromorph.

Necromorphs

Necromorphs are mutated corpses reshaped into horrific new forms by a recombinant extraterrestrial infection derived from a genetic code etched into and transmitted by the Markers. The resulting creatures are extremely aggressive and will attack any uninfected organism on sight.

The sole purpose of all Necromorphs is to acquire more bodies to convert and spread the infection. They are believed to be the heralds of humanity's ascension by certain Unitologists and individuals suffering from Marker Dementia, but on a more practical level, they are the extremely dangerous result of the exposure of dead tissue to the Markers' signal.

The Necromorphs are controlled via the Markers by a group of entities known as the Brethren Moons, which are massive, highly intelligent beings created after a Convergence Event is initiated by a Marker. The Necromorphs' motivations are to create a mass of necrotic flesh that can be collected by the Markers during Convergence with the intention of creating another Brethren Moon, perpetuating the Moons' galaxy-wide cycle of extinction.

Infection, Recombination, and Reanimation. The generation of a Necromorph begins with the Markers. These structures broadcast a highly concentrated electromagnetic signal that alters any dead tissue in range on a cellular level, converting it into pure Necromorph tissue and re-animating the corpse of the host organism. Necromorphs are structurally held together by the signal, and will degenerate into an "organic soup" in its absence. This signal also affects the minds of any nearby intelligent life forms, usually manifesting in them as dementia, resulting in homicidal/suicidal actions, essentially setting the stage for the coming Necromorph infection. Additionally, the Markers' pulse can also imprint a self-replicating signal containing blueprints in the minds of suitable individuals, thus leading them to create Red Markers and spread the contagion.

The infection is also spread directly through the Necromorph pathogen – that is, the reanimated cells created by the Markers and which compose the Necromorphs. Typically, the infection is passed on to new host bodies via specialized Necromorphs such as Infectors or Swarms. As the Necromorph pathogen infects only necrotic tissue, living victims who come into contact with it typically do not undergo transformation unless it is inserted directly into their bodies, in which case they will undergo a gradual transformation and may even transform into exceptionally powerful Necromorphs capable of regenerating severed appendages in a matter of seconds. Living victims who ingest Necromorph tissue in large quantities may eventually grow sick and transform into a unique, Wendigo-like form of Necromorph known as the Feeder.

Once the host is dead, the recombinant properties of the infection take hold. The process is extraordinarily rapid, and predictably violent. Cellular functions go into a self-destructive overdrive, creating new biologically active compounds which are then metabolized by reanimated flesh to fuel further mutations. Bones are broken, put together in new configurations, or reshaped into entirely new forms.

The transformation can take place in a matter of seconds, and the process generates tremendous amounts of heat. More often than not, the violently spasming corpses become so hot that stagnant blood begins to boil in the veins and arteries, rupturing the skin. Formerly vital organs (such as parts of the digestive system) that are no longer needed are broken down and turned into additional musculature, giving all Necromorphs increased physical strength.

While Slashers are overall the most common type of Necromorph, the creature created during infection largely depends on location and circumstance. For example, Lurkers are usually created from the infant-like organ banks used for medical transplants, human-born infants or, in other cases, dogs, while Guardians are created from hosts who have been affixed to the Corruption. However, some Necromorphs are clearly composed of more than one human (see Brute or Tripod), which is an indication that some form of intelligence is at work allocating biomass for specific use.

Regenerate. When the ubermorph is reduced to 15 hit points or fewer, it falls prone and is incapacitated. While incapacitated in this way, the ubermorph regains 50 hit points at the start of each of its turns. When the ubermorph returns to its hit point maximum it regrows any missing limbs, and is no longer incapacitated. If the ubermorph is reduced to ashes or dust this trait ceases to function.

Sever the Limbs. The ubermorph has five limbs. Each limb can be attacked and destroyed (immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a limb deals damage to the ubermorph:
Legs x2 (AC 18; 20 hit points each): One leg is severed from the ubermorph if it has any legs left. If the ubermorph loses one or both legs, it falls prone. If it has both arms, it can crawl at half its speed. With only one arm, it can still crawl, but its speed is reduced by 5 feet.

Bladed Limb. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 +5) piercing or slashing damage (ubermorph's choice). This attack scores a critical hit on a roll of 18 to 20.

Stab. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature grappled by the ubermorph. Hit: 23 (4d8 + 5) piercing damage. This attack scores a critical hit on a roll of 17 to 20 and rolls the damage dice of a crit three times, instead of twice. The target must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, losing 26 (4d12) hit points due to blood loss on a failed save, or half as many hit points on a successful one. If a creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until it receives magical healing.

Bonus Actions

Aggressive. The ubermorph moves up to its speed toward a hostile creature that it can see.

Rampage. After the ubermorph reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on its turn, the ubermorph moves up to half its speed and makes a Bladed Limb attack.

Blurred Movement. Attack rolls against the twitcher have disadvantage unless it is incapacitated or its speed is 0.

Evasion. If the twitcher is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw and only half damage if it fails, provided it isn't incapacitated.

Grappler. The twitcher has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.

Reckless. At the start of its turn, the twitcher can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.

Sever the Limbs. The twitcher has five limbs. Each limb can be attacked and destroyed (immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a limb deals damage to the twitcher:

Legs x2 (AC 16; 14 hit points each): One leg is severed from the twitcher if it has any legs left. If the twitcher loses one or both legs, it falls prone. If it has both arms, it can crawl at half its speed. With only one arm, it can still crawl, but its speed is reduced by 5 feet.

Components. When the divider is reduced to 0 hit points, it splits into five components; one head, two arms, and two legs. Each component acts on the divider's initiative. Each component has the statistics of a divider, except for the following: it is Tiny, it has AC 8, 10 hit points, its speed is 15 feet, it doesn't have a challenge rating, and the only actions it can take are the Reanimate action, and an attack determined by which component it is.
   Head. The head component can make one Choke attack, except it has a reach of 5 feet instead of 15, can only grapple a Medium or smaller creature, and the component attaches to the target.
   The attached component moves with the target whenever the target moves, requiring none of the component's movement. The component can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement on its turn. As an action, a creature within reach of the component can try to detach it, doing so with a successful DC 13 Strength check.
   Arm. An arm component can make one Claw attack at disadvantage.
   Leg. A leg component can make one Claw attack at disadvantage, the attack deals bludgeoning damage instead of slashing damage.
   If the divider is subjected to an effect that cuts off one or more of its limbs (e.g. a Sword of Sharpness, Vorpal Sword etc.) the divider takes no additional damage and the limb is cut off and immediately becomes a component. Additionally, the divider is immune to any spell or effect that would kill it instantaneously without dealing damage.

Turn Immunity. The divider is immune to effects that turn undead.

Undead Nature. The divider doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Multiattack. The divider makes two Claw attacks.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage.

Choke. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 15). Until the grapple ends, the target can't breathe or speak and takes 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of the divider's turns. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage is decapitated and dies if it can't survive without that head.

Reanimate (Components Only). The component attaches to the corpse of a Small or Medium creature. At the start of the component's next turn, it burrows into and replaces one of the corpse's limbs and reanimates it. The reanimated creature has the same statistics it did in life, except it is Undead, its alignment is Chaotic Evil, and it acts on the component's initiative. The reanimated creature transforms into a new divider after 1d4 hours. If a corpse animated by the head component is reduced to 15 hit points or fewer, it can use its reaction to make a ranged weapon attack (+5 to hit) against a creature of the component's choice within 30 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the component attaches to the target. While attached, the component can't attack, the target can't breathe or speak, and at the start of each of the component's turns, the target takes 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. On a hit or miss, the reanimated corpse dies.
    The attached component moves with the target whenever the target moves, requiring none of the component's movement. The component can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement on its turn. As an action, a creature within reach of the component can try to detach it, doing so with a successful DC 13 Strength check.

Reactions

Divide and Conquer. In response to dropping to 15 hit points or fewer, the divider reduces itself to 0 hit points, and all of its components immediately move up to their speed without provoking opportunity attacks, and take the Dodge action.

Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (4d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage. If the brute burrowed at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Pod Bomb. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d8) acid damage. Each creature within 5 feet of the target must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Curl Up. The brute curls up into a ball. Until it uncurls, it gains a +4 bonus to its AC, immunity to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage, resistance to magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and is restrained. It can uncurl as a bonus action on its turn.

Hideous Rend. The brute uses both of its claws to target one Large or smaller creature it can see within 5 feet of itself.

Sever the Limbs. The tripod has four limbs. Each limb can be attacked and destroyed (immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a limb deals damage to the tripod:
Arms x2 (AC 17; 50 hit points each): One arm is severed from the tripod if it has any arms left. If the tripod loses an arm, it loses a Slam attack and it's speed is halved, it loses its Deadly Leap bonus action, and it loses its Standing Leap trait. If the tripod loses both arms, it's speed becomes 0 and it falls prone.
Head (AC 20; 50 hit points): The tripod is decapitated. If its head is severed, the tripod is blinded and deafened.
Tongue (AC 20; 50 hit points): The tripod's tongue is severed. If the tongue is severed it loses its Tongue attack.
    With no arms or tongue it dies.

Turn Immunity. The tripod is immune to effects that turn undead.

Undead Nature. The tripod doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Multiattack. The tripod makes two Slam attacks and one Tongue attack.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (4d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage. If the tripod moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the tripod can make one Snatch attack against it as a bonus action.

Snatch. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 16) if it is Medium or smaller. Until this grapple ends, the tripod can't make Snatch attacks, and when it moves, it can drag the grappled creature with it, without the tripod's speed being halved.

Tongue. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, losing 18 (4d8) hit points due to blood loss on a failed save, or half as many hit points on a successful one. If a creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until it receives magical healing.

Bonus Actions

Deadly Leap (Recharge 4-6). The tripod leaps up to 40 feet in any direction, provided its speed isn't 0. It then lands on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must make a DC 19 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice). On a failed save, a creature takes 24 (4d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 feet out of the tripod's space into the nearest unoccupied space.

Acid Stream (Recharge 5-6). The puker regurgitates acid in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 18 (4d8) acid damage and is covered in acid.

Proboscis (AC 17; 15 hit points): The infector's proboscis is severed. If its proboscis is severed, the infector loses its Proboscis attack and Infect bonus action.
Talons x2 (AC 15; 15 hit points each): One talon is severed from the infector if it has any talons left. If the infector is missing a talon, it's speed is halved. If the infector loses both talons, it falls prone. Each time the infector loses a talon, it loses a Talon attack.

On a failed save, the target is infected with a disease called necromorph corruption. While infected, the target can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum is reduced by 10 (3d6) at the start of each of its turns. If the disease reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target instantly transforms into a fodder, leaper, or slasher if it was Medium, a packmate if it was Small, or a lurker if it was Tiny. Only a wish spell can reverse the transformation.

grapple ends, the target must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 25 (4d8 + 7) slashing damage and loses a limb, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn't lose a limb.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d6 + 7) slashing damage. This attack scores a critical hit on a roll of 18 to 20 and rolls the damage dice of a crit three times, instead of twice. On a critical hit, the target must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw or have its throat slashed. While its throat is slashed, the creature begins to bleed, losing 9 (2d8) hit points at the start of each of its turns, and it can't breathe or speak. Any creature within reach of the target can take an action to stanch the wound with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target receives magical healing. The target does not regain the ability to speak unless it receives magical healing.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d10 + 7) bludgeoning damage. If the tormentor moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 16 (3d10) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone and grappled (escape DC 17) if it is Medium or smaller.

Bone Spikes. Ranged Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 8) piercing damage. If the tormentor hits a creature twice with this attack in the same turn, and the creature is within 5 feet of a solid surface, the creature is restrained by spikes. As an action, the restrained target, or another creature within reach, can make a DC 16 Strength check, breaking free on a success.

Legendary Actions

The tormentor can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The tormentor regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Detect. The tormentor makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Move. The tormentor moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Claw. The tormentor makes one Claw attack.

---

Hole in the Wall. The tentacle's main body resides within a hole in the wall. The tentacle's main body isn’t affected by forced movement and has total cover against attacks and effects originating outside its hole. Instead of moving, the tentacle can extend itself up to 20 feet from the hole (no action required) on each of its turns, to a maximum of 80 feet from the hole. The tentacle can extend through any opening that is at least 2 feet wide. A creature that moves anywhere within 10 feet of the tentacle without first making a DC 17 Dexterity (Stealth) check to move subtly, alerts the tentacle to it's presence.
    While extended, the tentacle can be attacked (AC 16; 42 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying the tentacle deals damage to its main body, which can extrude a replacement tentacle at the end of a short or long rest.
    Additionally, when a creature makes an attack against

the tentacle with a weapon with the Explosive property, or throws a grenade at a point within 5 feet of the hole, it can attempt a DC 16 Dexterity check to launch the projectile down the tentacle's hole. On a success, the tentacle's main body and any creature within the hole automatically fails the saving throw, and takes twice as much damage.

Turn Immunity. The tentacle is immune to effects that turn undead.

Undead Nature. The tentacle doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 18). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the tentacle can't attack another target.

Retract. The tentacle pulls one creature it is grappling up to 20 feet toward the hole. If the creature is pulled into the hole, it is blinded, restrained, and can't breathe, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the hole, and it takes 14 (4d6) necrotic damage at the start of each of the tentacle's turns.
    If the tentacle's main body dies, a creature in the hole is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the hole by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Slam. The tentacle slams a creature it is grappling into a hard surface. The target takes 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn.

Reactions

Retract. When a creature ends its turn grappled by the tentacle, the tentacle can use its Retract action.

Attached. The leviathan isn’t affected by forced movement.

Food Storage. The leviathan rests at the bottom of the food storage of a starship. The food storage is room in the shape of a 20-foot radius cylinder that is 80 feet tall, and the area within the cylinder is zero gravity. A creature wearing mag boots can climb and move across the sides of the cylinder without needing to make an ability check, and leaving its hands free.

Grasping Tentacles. The leviathan can have up to three tentacles at a time. Each tentacle can be attacked (AC 17; 40 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tentacle deals no damage to the leviathan, which can extrude a replacement tentacle at the end of its next turn. A tentacle can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 18 Strength check against it.

Hole In One. When a creature makes an attack against the leviathan with a weapon with the Explosive property, or throws a grenade at a point within 5 feet of the leviathan, it can attempt a DC 15 Dexterity check to launch the projectile down the leviathan's gullet. On a success, the leviathan and any creature swallowed by it automatically fails the saving throw, and takes twice as much damage.

Turn Immunity. The leviathan is immune to effects that turn undead.

Undead Nature. The leviathan doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Multiattack. The leviathan makes as many Tentacle attacks as it has tentacles and makes one Bite attack. It can make a Pod Bomb attack in place of two of these attacks, or it can use Tentacle Sweep in place of its Tentacle attacks

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature grappled by the leviathan, or prone in zero gravity, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends. A swallowed creature is blinded, restrained, and can't breathe, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the leviathan, and it takes 28 (8d6) acid damage at the start of each of the leviathan's turns.
    If the leviathan takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the leviathan must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 5 feet of the leviathan. If the leviathan dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 80 ft., one creature. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 18). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the leviathan can't use the same tentacle on another target.

Pod Bomb. Ranged Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, range 30/120 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d10) acid damage. Each creature within 5 feet of the target must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
    Miss: The bomb begins floating in an unoccupied space within 15 feet of the target. The bomb is a Medium Object (AC 10; 15 hit points; immunity to psychic and poison damage). If the bomb is reduced to 0 hit points, or touches a creature, object, or surface, it explodes. Each creature within 5 feet of the bomb must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Tentacle Sweep (Recharge 4-6). The leviathan sweeps one of its tentacles across the sides of the cylinder. Each creature within 5 feet of the side of the cylinder must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 41 (6d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is pushed up to 15 feet away from the side of the cylinder, and is left floating in zero gravity.

Bonus Actions

Reel. The leviathan pulls one creature grappled by it up to 25 feet straight toward it.

Slam. The leviathan slams a creature it is grappling into a hard surface. The target takes 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn.

Reactions

Catch Prey. In response to a creature moving within 30 feet of it, the leviathan immediately makes a Tentacle attack against the creature.

Grasping Tentacles. The hive mind can have up to four tendrils at a time. Each tendril can be attacked (AC 18; 30 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage).

Hive Mind. All necromorphs are tied into a collective consciousness. The hive mind can see through the eyes of any necromorph, hear what it hears, telepathically communicate with it and can mentally command any necromorph within 10 miles. Additionally all necromorphs within 60 feet of the hive mind gain a +4 bonus to their AC and resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and have advantage on all attacks unless the hive mind is incapacitated.

Turn Immunity. The hive mind is immune to effects that turn undead.

Undead Nature. The hive mind doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Vulnerable Pustules (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). When the hive mind is reduced to 0 hit points, it doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, the damage causes yellow pustules to grow from its body. The hive mind has ten pustules: five on its chest, and five around its mouth. A pustule has an AC of 22 and 45 hit points. It is immune to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, and it is immune to all conditions. If it is forced to make a saving throw, treat its ability scores as 10 (+0). If it finishes a short or long rest, the pustules deflate, any destroyed pustules regenerate, and the pustules recede again. The hive mind dies when all the pustules are destroyed.

Actions

Multiattack. The hive mind makes three Grasping Tendril attacks, uses Reel, and makes two Tentacle attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 46 (8d8 + 10) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature grappled by the hive mind, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the hive mind, and it takes 42 (12d6) acid damage at the start of each of the hive mind's turns. If the hive mind takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the hive mind must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the hive mind. If the hive mind dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Grasping Tendril. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 20). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained and has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and the hive mind can't use the same tendril on another target. If a target doesn't escape by the start of the hive mind's next turn, the hive mind can make one Bite attack against each creature grappled by it as a bonus action.

Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage, and if the target is a creature, it is knocked prone.
