Slow to Move: The ascomoid is slow to achieve full movement speed. When starting from a dead stop, the ascomoid moves 30 feet on its first turn, 60 feet on its second turn, 90 feet on its third turn, and can finally achieve its full movement speed of 1 20 feet on its fourth continuous turn of movement. Once the ascomoid achieves full speed, it can roll for hours without slowing or tiring. The ascomoid cannot take the Dash action.

Each creature in that area that isn't a plant must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, a target takes 18 ( 4d8) poison damage at the start of each of its turns.

ACTIONS Poison Spores (3/Day): A 5-foot-diameter cloud of toxic spores extends out from the basidirond. The spores spread around corners. Each creature in that area takes 7 (3d4) poison damage and must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or it cannot breathe. (Player's Handbook, p. 1 83.) While suffocating, lesser restoration, protection from poison, or the use of a paladin's Lay on Hands can end the effect. It the target is reduced to 0 hit points from suffocation, it can't regain hit points or be stabilized until it can breathe again. Hallucinatory Spores (Recharge 6): If the basidirond is not moving or attacking, it can release a cloud of spores in a 30-foot radius. Any creatures in the area of effect must make a successful DC 12 Constitution saving throw or suffer wild hallucinations. While in the cloud, the target suffers the effects of a confusion spell. The DM is encouraged to embellish these effects. For example, if the target doesn't move or take actions, it believes it is sinking in a swamp. If forced to make a melee attack, perhaps it is against a swarm of spiders at its feet. When a target leaves the cloud, the effect wears off in l d4 rounds. This orange-colored, fungoid creature has a woody, leathery body supported several branches.

Death Gaze: When a creature that can see the bodak's eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the bodak, the bodak can force it to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw if the bodak isn't incapacitated and can see the creature. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, unless it is immune to the frightened condition. Otherwise, a creature takes 16 (3d10) psychic damage on a failed save. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against the bodak until the start of its next turn. If the creature looks at the bodak in the meantime, it must immediately make the saving throw. Sunlight Hypersensitivity: The bodak takes 5 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight.

On a failed save, the creature begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see the dracolisk until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the dracolisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. If the dracolisk sees itself reflected on a polished surface within 30 feet of it and in an area of bright light, the dracolisk mistakes itself for a rival and targets itself with its gaze. However, the dracolisk has hooded eyes with nictitating membranes, thus it has advantage on the saving throw.

This draconic creature has a brownish-black coloration, a horned snout, and glittering, ebony eyes.
