Special Traits

• Innate Spellcasting. The babau’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). It can cast the following spells without requiring material components.
  • At will: darkness, see invisibility
  • 3/day: dispel magic
• Protective Slime. Any creature that touches the babau, or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet takes 4 (1d8) acid damage. Any nonmagical weapon made of metal or wood that hits the babau corrodes. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed. Nonmagical ammunition made of metal or wood that hits the babau is destroyed after dealing damage.

Actions

• Multiattack. The babau makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (2d4 + 5) piercing damage.
• Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) slashing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.
• Summon (1/day). The babau has a 40% chance to summon 1 babau. The summoned demon appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of the babau, but can’t summon other demons. It remains for 1 minute, until it or the first babau is slain, or until the first babau takes an action to dismiss it.
