SPECIAL TRAITS

• Consume Life. As a bonus action, the greater will-o’-wisp can target one creature it can see within 5 feet of it that has 0 hit points and is still alive. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw against this magic or die. If the target dies, the greater will-o’-wisp regains 21 (6d6) hit points.
• Ephemeral. The greater will-o’-wisp can’t wear or carry anything.
• Incorporeal Movement. The greater will-o’-wisp can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
• Variable Illumination. The greater will-o’-wisp sheds bright light in a 5- to 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional number of feet equal to the chosen radius. The greater will-o’-wisp can alter the radius as a bonus action.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The greater will-o’-wisp makes two Shock attacks.
• Entrancing Lights (Recharge 6). The greater will-o’-wisp emits hypnotic lights. All humanoid creatures that can see the lights must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the will-o’-wisp for 1 hour. While charmed in this way, the creature is incapacitated and must use all of its movement to stumble toward the will-o’-wisp. This effect ends if the creature takes damage or another creature uses its action to shake the creature to its senses.
• Invisibility. The greater will-o’-wisp and its light magically become invisible until it attacks or uses Consume Life, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell).
• Shock. Melee Spell Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d8) lightning damage, and the target can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.
