Special Traits

• Innate Spellcasting. The devourer’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks). The devourer can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: animate dead
  • 3/day each: chill touch, inflict wounds, ray of enfeeblement
  • 1/day each: create undead, true seeing
• Devour Soul. When the devourer reduces a creature to 0 hit points, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or the devourer consumes the creature’s soul. Creatures that die in this manner can only be restored to life by a true resurrection or wish spell.

Actions

• Multiattack. The devourer makes one bite attack and two attacks with its claws.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 17 (2d8 + 8) piercing damage.
• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 15 (2d6 + 8) slashing damage.
• Torment Soul (Recharge 6). The devourer creates a howling whirlwind of necrotic energy in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Each creature in that area that is not undead or a construct must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
