Special Traits

• Keen Smell. The devourer has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
• Stench. Any creature that starts its turn within 15 feet of the devourer must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the devourer’s Stench for 24 hours.
• Turning Rage. If the devourer succeeds on a saving throw against an effect that turns undead, it falls into a frenzy until the end of its next turn. While frenzied, the devourer has advantage on attack rolls and saving throws against being charmed or frightened and effects that turn undead.

Actions

• Multiattack. The devourer makes two attacks: one with its bite, and one with its claws.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) piercing damage.
• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) slashing damage. If the target is a creature other than an elf or undead, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
