Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3d6+2 necrotic damage.
Mournful Cry (Recharge 5-6)
The despair demon releases a tortured scream. Each creature within 60 ft. of the demon that can hear it must make a Wisdom Saving Throw. On a failed save, the target is frightened for 1 minute or until it takes damage. While frightened, the creature's speed is 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed. On a successful save, the creature's speed is halved for 1 minute or until the creature takes damage. If the saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the despair demon's Mournful Cry for the next 24 hours.
