Special Traits

Actions

  • Multiattack. A Priest of Orcus can use its Mindfeed and make two attacks with its claws.
  • Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and a Priest of Orcus can only use its Mindfeed on the grappled creature and has advantage on attack rolls to do so.
  • Mindfeed. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature that is grappled by the encephalon gorger. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) psychic damage on a failed save, and the target’s Intelligence score is reduced by 1d4. The target dies if this reduces its Intelligence to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.
  • Adrenal Surge (2/day). A Priest of Orcus surges with adrenaline until the end of its turn. While under this effect, it gains a +2 bonus to its AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throw, and it gains an additional action on its turn (as the haste spell).
