Styx Corruption

Masters of flight and tempests, fiends of the Styx legion attack their foes from the air. Creatures caught in the ferocious windstorms created by the legion find themselves hurled helplessly about, and those that survive might be seduced by the corruption of Styx. Such creatures become particularly agile and invariably sprout wings of some variety, such as leathery, bat-like wings or the membranous wings of giant insects. Feathered wings are rare in creatures subject to the Styx corruption, and are generally a nauseating green-black in color.

Styx corruption grants the Styxian Agility trait.

Stygian Agility. Styx corruption grants a fly speed of 30 ft. or increases a corrupted creature’s existing fly speed by 30 ft. The corrupted creature has advantage on Dexterity ability checks and Dexterity saving throws.
