Special Traits

  • Electricity Sense. The shocker lizard automatically detects any electrical discharge within 100 feet.
  • Shock. A shocker lizard’s body generates a potent charge of electricity. A creature that touches the lizard or makes a successful melee attack against it must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3 (1d4) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If other shocker lizards are within 20 feet, the fields augment each other to a maximum of 24 (8d4) lightning damage.

ACTIONS

  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage and the target must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 2 (1d4) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
