Special Traits

• Blink (3/day). In lieu of its movement, a haunt may teleport to any point it can see within 120′.

• Aura of Fear. Any living creature that begins its turn or moves within 30 feet of the haunt must make a successful DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed with fear.

The horde haunt rises from slain dark armies left on the battlefield, the culmination of the hate that fueled the wicked creatures in life. The haunt searches for souls of the living to draw through itself and into the dark realms of the wicked gods that drove the armies from which it was created.
