SPECIAL TRAITS

• Unusual Nature. The scarecrow minion doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
• False Appearance. If the scarecrow minion is motionless at the start of combat, it has advantage on its initiative roll. Moreover, if a creature hasn’t observed the scarecrow move or act, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary, inanimate scarecrow.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The scarecrow makes two Claw attacks.
• Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (2d4 + 1) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of the scarecrow minion’s next turn.

ABOUT

The scarecrow colossus is an aberrant version of the scarecrow, produced when the ritual to create one goes awry. Whether the mage performing the ritual makes a mistake, or wild magic causes a sudden surge in power, or another individual causes some interference, the outcome is the same: a volatile entity comes into being and becomes more dangerous every day it goes unchecked.
