Between its long, taloned fingers trickles sand that gleams with the cold light of stars._ \n**Bringers of Nightmares.** Sandmen are sinister-looking bringers of sleep and dreams. Visiting the mortal world each night, sandmen ensure that their targets slumber deeply and experience vivid dreams that swell the dream realm’s power. Some sandmen develop a talent for a specific flavor of dream; fantasies of lost love or childhood, prophecies and religious visions, or terrible nightmares. \n**Abduct Dreamers.** Powerful dreamers attract both the attention and the protection of sandmen: children, madmen, would-be tyrants, and heroes. They protect such charges fiercely but have also been known to abduct them, taking them on wild adventures to inspire yet greater dreams. To them, all dreams are vital and good, be they uplifting or terrifying. Although they bring horrific nightmares as well as idyllic dreams, sandmen are not specifically baneful. Their actions are motivated by their connection to the dream realm, not by concerns over good and evil. \n**Ethereal Dreamscapes.** When not on the Material Plane, sandmen ride bubble-like dreamscapes through the Ethereal Plane, breaching the Sea of Possibilities, nurturing and harvesting its contents. Sandmen are a common and welcome sight in markets across the Fey Realms, elemental planes, and even in Hell—anywhere that dreams or nightmares are a valuable commodity. They are merciless to any who threaten the sanctity of dreams, but especially dream eaters.", "name": "Sandman", "size": "Medium", "type": "Celestial", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "chaotic neutral", "armor_class": 14, "armor_desc": "", "hit_points": 82, "hit_dice": "11d8+33", "speed": { "walk": 40 }, "strength": 11, "dexterity": 19, "constitution": 16, "intelligence": 13, "wisdom": 14, "charisma": 19, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": 7, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": 7, "perception": null, "skills": {}, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "cold, fire, lightning; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks", "damage_immunities": "poison, psychic", "condition_immunities": "charmed, exhaustion, frightened, poisoned, unconscious", "senses": "truesight 60 ft., passive Perception 12", "languages": "Common, Celestial, Giant, Infernal, Umbral", "challenge_rating": "5", "cr": 5.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The sandman makes two claw attacks." }, { "name": "Claw", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Though typically Small, the larger the sap source is, the larger the resulting creature can be. Over a few hours, they pool into a shape that vaguely resembles their tree’s attacker: for instance, if the tree cutter wore a hat, then a hat may be incorporated into the sap demon’s overall shape. The similarity is faint at best; no one would ever confuse a sap demon for the creature it hunts, because its shape has no sharp features or color other than amber. \n**Called to Vengeance.** Sap demons can pummel their prey with partially-crystallized fists, but they especially enjoy claiming the weapon that wounded their tree and wielding it to deliver a final blow. Once their prey is destroyed, most sap demons return to their tree, but not all do. Some are curious or malevolent enough to explore the world further. \n**Reckless Possessors.** A sap demon can possess another creature by grappling it and oozing down its throat. Once inside, the sap demon dominates its host and makes it bleed as the tree bled. Since the sap demon takes no damage when its host is wounded, it’s free to be as reckless as it likes. It might wander into a town to cause trouble. However, no matter how its new body is bandaged or cured, it never stops bleeding slowly.

They seethe with baleful energy, and their blackened skulls retain a simple watchfulness. \n**Muddled Origins.** Many sages speculate that the first sarcophagus slime was spawned accidentally, in a mummy creation ritual that gave life to the congealed contents of canopic jars rather than the intended, mummified body. Others maintain sarcophagus slime was created by a powerful necromancer-pharaoh bent on formulating the perfect alchemical sentry to guard his crypt. \n**Death to Tomb Robbers.** These ectoplasmic slimes are the bane of burglars and a constant danger for excavators and antiquarians exploring ruins or tombs. The rituals for their creation have not been entirely lost; modern necromancers still create these undead abominations for their own fell purposes, and tomb robbers are turned into slimes if they lack proper caution. \n**Undead Nature.** A sarcophagus slime doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.", "name": "Sarcophagus Slime", "size": "Medium", "type": "Undead", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "neutral evil", "armor_class": 11, "armor_desc": "", "hit_points": 105, "hit_dice": "14d8+42", "speed": { "walk": 20 }, "strength": 14, "dexterity": 12, "constitution": 18, "intelligence": 3, "wisdom": 12, "charisma": 12, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": 4, "charisma_save": 4, "perception": null, "skills": { "stealth": 4 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "acid, necrotic", "damage_immunities": "poison", "condition_immunities": "blinded, charmed, deafened, exhaustion, frightened, poisoned, prone", "senses": "blindsight 60 ft.

They live in drowned and abandoned mines, tumbledown ruins, and even in the tomb complexes of long‑departed priests and god-kings. \n**Magical Hats.** Their shadow fey masters have given them magical hats that allow them to fly and become invisible at will. These hats can be stolen and used by adventurers, but the scheznykis fight hard to retrieve them. \n**Arcane Beards.** If an adventurer can successfully grapple a scheznyki, they can attempt to cut the creature’s beard with a magical blade (the beard is AC 15 and has 5 hp). When an attacker successfully cuts off the beard, the scheznyki loses access to all spell-like and spell casting abilities—and the beard hair itself is valuable in making potion inks. \nIf the scheznyki loses its hat and beard at the same time, it falls into a deep, wasting coma and dies in 24 hours or when next exposed to sunlight. When this occurs, the scheznyki’s body crumbles into dust and blows away one round later.

They live on the outskirts of many human towns, maintaining a cautious distance from their neighbors. Subek marriage is pragmatic; they live with a mate long enough to foster a single egg and raise the hatchling for a decade before parting ways. \nSubek scholars and oracles debate their duality.
