Special Traits

  • Amphibious. The havtroll can breathe air and water.
  • Keen Smell. The havtroll has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
  • Underwater Camouflage. The havtroll has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide while underwater.
  • Sunlight Hypersensitivity. The havtroll must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the havtroll is instantly petrified. Otherwise, a havtroll that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained havtroll must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the havtroll is freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

Actions

  • Multiattack. The havtroll makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
  • Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). The havtroll has two claws. While a claw grapples a target, the claw can attack only that target.

About

Havtrolls bedevil sailors on the ocean and villagers who live by lakes. Often confined by magic, havtrolls that can break free of their bonds eat everything they can stuff into their enormous fanged mouths.
