ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The lizard champion makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its tail.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
• Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
• Fearsome Screech (Recharge 5-6). The lizard champion lets out a shrill and intimidating screech in a 20-foot cone. Each creature caught in the area of effect must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Any creature that succeeds the saving throw or for whom the effect ends is immune to the lizard champion’s fearsome screech for the next 24 hours.

ABOUT

A majestic and fearsome creature, the lizard champion is the flagship of the Netherworld mounts, obtained through careful breeding and rigorous training. To own such a companion is a mark of great prestige: lizard champions are said to be so loyal that they bind themselves to a master and never betray them, even beyond death.
