Actions

  • Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage and the target’s Strength score is reduced by 1d4. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or contract a disease. Until the disease is cured, the target can’t regain hit points except by magical means, the target’s Strength score is reduced by 1d4 and its hit point maximum decreases by 3 (1d6) every 24 hours. If the target’s hit point maximum or Strength score drops to 0 as a result of this disease, the target dies.
