The charmed target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Undead creatures and creatures immune to being charmed are unaffected by this ability. Once a creature successfully saves against the Reflective Horn, it is immune to this ability for the next 24 hours.

ABOUT

The biasd na srogaig is tall and clumsy, with long gangly legs and an awkward gait. It possesses a single large horn on its forehead, which has a mesmerizing sheen.

The biasd na srogaig (bee-YAST-na-SHRO-gag), also known as the “Beast of the Lowering Horn,” is a unique creature native to lochs. The creature primarily inhabits the depths of the lochs, residing in dark underwater caves or hidden among the marshy regions surrounding the water. It is most active during dusk and dawn, venturing onto the land to graze on aquatic plants and drink from freshwater sources.

The biasd na srogaig is not an inherently aggressive creature and prefers to avoid conflict. However, if threatened or its territory is encroached upon, it unleashes its formidable attacks with surprising speed and strength. It is known to exhibit defensive behavior when protecting its young, using its horn’s mesmerizing effect to disorient and distract potential threats.

In combat, the biasd na srogaig relies on its powerful gore attack and hoof strikes to subdue opponents. Its charge ability allows it to deliver devastating blows when it charges towards its target. Additionally, its reflective horn possesses an enchanting quality, allowing the creature to charm foes and render them temporarily incapacitated.
