On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the star spawn's Aura of Insanity for the next 24 hours. Eldritch Brain. A creature that tries to charm the star spawn or contact it telepathically must succeed a DC 19 Intelligence saving throw or take 10 (3d6) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Magic Resistance.

The target must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the star spawn. The charmed target obeys the star spawn's telepathic commands.

If it charms another, the effect on the previous target ends.

A star spawn is the offspring of the sinister entity known as Cthulhu. Star spawn most often appear as massive winged gelatinous green octopus-like creatures, but they can quickly and dramatically change their form. Star spawn mainly live at the bottom of the ocean, though they are sometimes seen by people living near the coast in dark and stormy nights.
