Wendigo

Actions

Multiattack. The wendigo makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.   Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., any humanoid, non-construct creature that is grappled by the wendigo, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the wendigo regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.   Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, the wendigo can grapple the target (escape DC 13).

Reactions

Legendary Actions

Villain Actions

• Howl. The wendigo lets loose a guttural, bestial howl that rings out to 50 feet of it. Each creature in the sphere that can hear must make a successful DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened 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.

• Feral Lunge. The wendigo leaps 30 ft towards a target that it can see. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or suffer 2d4 + 3 slashing damage and be knocked prone as the wendigo falls upon them, claws at the ready. If the target saves, they suffer half damage and the wendigo lands in an adjacent space of its choosing.
