  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d10 + 2) piercing damage.
  • Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1d6 rounds.

About

This man-sized abomination has a tail that splits near the end curling over its back. Both ends bear needle-stingers dripping with poison.

About

The spawn of Akyishigal are found in abundance wherever the demon lord abides. He has also been known to send them to his followers if their need is great and the spawn’s presence will somehow benefit Akyishigal.

Lords of Vermin. Vermin of all types instinctively obey mental commands from a spawn of Akyishigal. What’s more, these repulsive beings can vomit thousands of roaches that also do the spawn’s bidding. They take particular delight in belching roaches directly onto their foes, but they’ve also been known to use roaches and vermin as a means of cutting off an enemy’s retreat or of hindering pursuit when the spawn itself wants to escape.
