Many stalk the lands outside farms, villages, and even small cities, attacking livestock, pets, and travelers. Hodags have been known to break down the doors of houses, barns, and other buildings to get at prey inside. \n**Solo Hunters until Mating.** Hodags are generally solitary creatures with large territories. Babies are abandoned by their mothers after birth. There is an exception for one week each year in spring just after the end of winter. Hodags within several hundred miles instinctually gather in a prey-filled area, which never seems to be the same place twice. The hodags gorge on as much food as possible and engage in mating rituals. When the week is over, the hodags disperse, returning to their territories. \n**Impossible to Train.** Hodags are born with strong predator instincts, which helps the young survive after being left by their mothers.

The web gains life and flies through the forest, gathering other webs until it collects enough silk to form a faceless, humanoid body, with four legs and four arms. \n**Hatred of Elves.** Lunarchidnas hate elves and love to make the creatures suffer. They poison water sources, set fire to villages, and bait monsters into stampeding through elf communities. These aberrations especially enjoy stealing away elf children to use as bait to trap the adults that come to the rescue. \n**Cyclical Power.** The lunarchidna’s power is tied to the moon. When the skies are dark during a new moon, the lunarchidna becomes more shadow than living web. Its mental ability dulls, and it becomes barely more than a savage animal. When a full moon brightens the night, however, the lunarchidna becomes a conduit of lunar light and can channel that power through its body. Using its heightened intellect, it makes plans, writes notes, and plots from the safety of the trees where it makes its home. In the intermittent phases of the moon, the lunarchidna is a more than capable hunter, trapping and devouring prey it encounters while retaining enough knowledge of its plans and magic to further its goals in minor ways. The lunarchidna’s statistics change cyclically as shown on the Lunarchidna Moon Phase table. \n\n#### Lunarchidna Moon Phase\n\nMoon Phase\n\nStatistics\n\nDaytime, new, or crescent moon\n\nOpen Game License", "name": "Lesser Lunarchidna", "size": "Medium", "type": "Aberration", "subtype": "", "group": null, "alignment": "neutral evil", "armor_class": 15, "armor_desc": "natural armor", "hit_points": 39, "hit_dice": "6d8+12", "speed": { "climb": 30, "walk": 30 }, "strength": 10, "dexterity": 15, "constitution": 14, "intelligence": 6, "wisdom": 12, "charisma": 13, "strength_save": null, "dexterity_save": null, "constitution_save": null, "intelligence_save": null, "wisdom_save": null, "charisma_save": null, "perception": 3, "skills": { "perception": 3, "stealth": 6 }, "damage_vulnerabilities": "", "damage_resistances": "", "damage_immunities": "poison", "condition_immunities": "poisoned, restrained", "senses": "blindsight 10 ft., darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13", "languages": "Deep Speech, Elvish", "challenge_rating": "2", "cr": 2.0, "actions": [ { "name": "Multiattack", "desc": "The lunarchidna makes one bite attack and two claw attacks." }, { "name": "Bite", "desc": "Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
