SPECIAL TRAITS

• Innate Spellcasting. The harionago’s spell casting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 21). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: hideous laughter
  • 3/day each: feather fall, levitate, ray of enfeeblement
  • 1/day each: charm monster, dominate person
• Infectious Laughter. Whenever a harionago successfully casts hideous laughter on a creature, it can cast hideous laughter on one other creature within 10 feet of it. This ability does not stack with itself, so the harionago can only cast hideous laughter twice in a turn this way. Additionally, damage dealt by the harinago does not cause a creature affected by its hideous laughter to make another saving throw to end the spell.
• Wrathful Rejection. A harionago does not handle the rejection of its advances very well. Whenever a creature successful saves against one of the harionago’s spells the harionago reduced its Wisdom by 1 point and gains advantage to its attack rolls and saving throws. This bonus lasts as long as the harionago has any Wisdom reduction. This Wisdom reduction can only be restored when the harionago kills the character that successfully saved against her ability. If that creature gets killed by some means other than the harionago, it must kill a member of their family to remove the Wisdom reduction. In order to remove all of its Wisdom reduction, the harionago must kill everyone (or a family member of everyone) that has successfully saved against its spells.

ABOUT

A harionago is formed when an innocent woman is murdered in some unspeakable fashion. She rises, twisted by the injustice of the crime against her, into an unnatural and bloodthirsty horror that hunts unsuspecting victims while trying to sate an everlasting lust for revenge. Destroying a harionago doesn’t always lay her to rest for good. On rare occasions and by mysterious means, a harionago rises again after a year and a day to resume her hunt. She can only rest after she takes her revenge on those who murdered her. If her murderers are already dead when she returns, she will rest only once every member of her murderers’ family lines has been slaughtered.
