Nestled Horror (5e Creature)
 |
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Saves need correcting, skills need reducing or removing. Corpse seeker trait has no mechanics, so should be moved to description. Corrupted memory trait doesn't do anything. Descriptive text needs removing from actions. Fusing vomit probably doesn't need to say what undoes the Dexterity drain, as this is already standardized.

A flesh cord winged mass of musculature connected at its stalk to a corpse or amalgamation of corpses by yet more tendrils. The Nestled Horror has eyes along its tentacles and body, with a snaking head-like structure that ends in but a gaping maw. The corpses attached beneath and the tentacles holding them in place give off the impression of a toothy cage beneath the creature's winged form. The Nestled Horror seeks a home to call its own, one where it can lay roots and grow into a massive nest of horrors. |
