Special Traits

• Innate Spellcasting. The dark spirit’s innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: chaos bolt (3rd level)
  • 1/day each: elemental bane, invisibility, misty step
• Amorphous. The dark spirit can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
• Freedom of Movement. The dark spirit ignores difficult terrain, and magical effects can’t reduce its speed or cause it to be restrained. It can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being grappled.

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) psychic damage if the dark spirit is in total darkness.

About

Born of the primordial chaos and darkness, these ghost-like, slender beings respond to the god of the night’s call. They harass their prey; assailing it until it breaks down to the basic elements of chaos from which it first came.
