ACTIONS

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) poison damage.
• Noxious Breath (Recharge 5-6). The lavellan exhales a cloud of toxic gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until the end of its next turn and takes 7 (2d6) poison damage. On a successful save it takes half as much damage and is not poisoned.

ABOUT

The lavellan resembles a small furry shrew with bright eyes. Despite its tiny size, the lavellan is remarkably swift and difficult to spot, making it a formidable predator.

The lavellan, also known as l bh-allan, la-mhalan, or la-bhallan, is a highly poisonous creature that thrives in deep pools within rivers and other aquatic environments. They are elusive creatures and prefer to remain hidden from humans and other predators.

Farmers fear the lavellan’s toxic nature and will hire adventurers to hunt it down to protect their livestock. The tiny beast’s presence is a constant threat to humans and other creatures in the wilderness.

Lavellans are highly poisonous, using their tiny size and venomous bite to harm prey and deter potential threats. Locals will kill the creature on sight to protect themselves. Boiling a lavellan and drinking the concoction acts as an antitoxin. The lavellan’s poison, both through its bite and toxic aura, makes it a dangerous creature that poses a threat to unsuspecting travelers.
