SPECIAL TRAITS

• Dual State. Like its nihileth creator, a nihilethic zombie can assume either a material or ethereal form. When in its material form, it has resistance to nonmagical weapons. In its ethereal form, it is immune to nonmagical weapons. Its ethereal form appears as a dark purple outline of its material form with a blackish-purple haze within.
• Zombie Nature. Unless noted otherwise, a nihilethic zombie has the same traits as a zombie, including their Undead Fortitude.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The nihilethic dominator makes two tentacle slam attacks or two tendrils of the void attacks.
• Tentacle Slam (Material Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the creature must succeed a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
• Tendrils of the Void (Ethereal Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d12) cold damage and 4 (1d8) necrotic damage.
• Form Swap. As a bonus action, the nihilethic zombie can alter itself, shifting between its material and ethereal forms at will.
• Void Body. As a reaction, the nihilethic zombie can reduce the damage it takes from a single source by 1d12 points. This reduction cannot be applied to divine damage.
