Water drips from the claws, freezing before it hits the ground._  \n**Forlorn Spirits.** Chill haunts arise from the corpses of humanoids that froze to death. While most chill haunts derive from those who died alone in the cold, stories tell of entire families or villages returning as chill haunts. Because of the intensity of their demise, chill haunts dread cold and flee when targeted by cold magic.  \n**Hungry for Body Heat.** The chill haunt’s disdain for cold leads it to seek out warm buildings or open fires. While ambient heat or direct contact with fire diminishes its shivering and restores wounds it has received in combat, it craves heat from living creatures. Contact with the chill haunt sets off a deepening freeze in the victim, which is hard to reverse without the application of fire. The haunt comes into contact with living creatures to remember the feeling of warmth, and it does not care about the side effects of its touch. After it has drained the warmth from one creature, it immediately moves on to the next, ever-hungry.  \n**Restless Undead.** Destroying a chill haunt is only a temporary solution to the undead creature’s depredations. Similar to a ghost, a destroyed chill haunt returns to unlife 24 hours after its demise, attaining eternal rest only after being slain under a specific set of circumstances. For most chill haunts, the surest way to eternal rest is by coaxing the haunt to a warm building where it can sit by a hearth and nestle in blankets or furs. Though physical objects normally pass through the spectral creature, such conditions allow the coverings to conform to the shape of the haunt’s former body.

Its wide mouth pulls into something like a human grin, and its knowing eyes hint at intelligence beyond that of a typical predator._  \nEnemies of elves and blink dogs, kot bayuns are magical hunting cats gifted with eloquent speech and cunning abilities.  \n**Speaking Fey Cats.** These brutal and temperamental creatures get along well with cruel-minded fey. More gentle fey rightfully find the creatures to be a menace. A kot bayun measures six feet long and weighs over 200 lb. They are long-lived, and some stories record the same kot bayun in a region for over 400 years.  \n**Sing to Sleep.** In addition to their stealthy natures and physical prowess, kot bayun have the ability to put prey to sleep with song. They carefully choose victims and stalk them for a time, learning their strengths and weaknesses before making their attack. They lay in wait until their prey is vulnerable and then begin their slumbering song. Those resisting the call to slumber are always the kot bayun’s first victims as they launch from cover and attempt to disembowel their prey. In forests with a thick canopy, a kot bayun stealthily creeps among tree limbs, tracking the movement of its prey below.  \n**Healing Poetry.** If discovered by intelligent prey, a kot bayun opens with a parley instead of claws. In rare cases, a kot bayun finds something in its prey it likes and cold predation turns to a lukewarm association.  \nBefriending a kot bayun has benefits as the creature’s poems, tales, and sagas have the magical ability to heal negative conditions. A kot bayun tells its stories in the form of strange epics and poetry, ranging from simple rhyming folk poems to complex sonnets. This ability is not widely known (a secret the creatures intend to keep), but, as folktales spread, more and more adventurers and sages seek out these elusive beasts.","name":"Kot Bayun","size":"Medium","type":"Monstrosity","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"neutral","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"","hit_points":44,"hit_dice":"8d8+8","speed":{"walk":40,"climb":20},"strength":16,"dexterity":16,"constitution":13,"intelligence":12,"wisdom":16,"charisma":17,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":5,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"","senses":"darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13","languages":"Common, Sylvan","challenge_rating":"2","cr":2.0,"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The kot bayun makes one bite attack and one claws attack."},{"name":"Bite","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Each hive has its own song, and most tosculi hives are predatory, dangerous places—quick to turn to banditry, cattle theft, and raiding against small villages.  \nThose few tosculi who do not hear their queen’s Golden Song are the Hiveless, driven out of the embrace of the hive to attempt survive on their own.  \n_This humanoid wasp’s gossamer wings beat out a soft, droning buzz. Flashing blades sing in each of her four clawed hands, and the air around her crackles with arcane energy._  \n**Center of the Hive.** The hive-queen is the nerve center of a tosculi hive-city, simultaneously one of a hive’s greatest strengths and weaknesses. The hive-queen serves as a unifying force. She binds her swarm with an ironclad sense of purpose through the hive mind, the psychic web that links all tosculi within a hive.  \n**Deadly Inheritance.** A hive-queen typically has several immature daughters as her potential heirs at any given time. When she nears the end of her life, the hive-queen selects the most promising of her heirs and feeds her a special concoction. This speeds the heir’s maturation and makes her ready to become a full-fledged hive-queen. The daughter’s first action upon assuming power and control over the hive-city is to devour her mother and all her sisters.  \n**Hive Chaos.** If a hive-queen dies with no heir to anchor the hive mind, the city plunges into chaos. Tosculi bereft of the hivemind go berserk. A few fortunate ones might escape and become lone renegades, but their existence without the comforting presence of the hive is miserable and short. Unless one of the hive-queen’s daughters is mature enough and ruthless enough to step in and assert control, the hive is doomed.  \n\n## A Tosculi Hive-Queen’s Lair\n\n  \nHive-queens make their lairs in the most protected part of the hive. Huge corridors lead to this point, so all tosculi can reach their queen as quickly as possible. This is also the place where tosculi eggs hatch, making it a critical location for the survival of the hive. A tosculi hive-queen encountered in her lair has a challenge rating of 13 (10,000 XP), but nothing else in her stat block changes.  \n\n### Lair Actions\n\n  \nOn initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the hive-queen takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:\n* The tosculi hive-queen releases a cloud of pheromones that drives the tosculi to fight harder. All tosculi within 60 feet of the hive-queen (including the hive-queen herself) regain 7 (2d6) hit points.\n* A swarm of tiny tosculi offspring crawls from its nest and attacks a creature within 120 feet of the hive-queen, automatically doing 10 (4d4) piercing damage. Then the swarm dies.\n* The ceiling above one creature that the hive-queen can see within 120 feet of her drips sticky resin. The creature must make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be encased in rapidly-hardening resin. A creature encased this way is restrained. It can free itself, or another creature within 5 feet can free it, by using an action to make a successful DC 15 Strength check. If the creature is still encased the next time the initiative count reaches 20, the resin hardens, trapping it. The trapped creature can’t move or speak; attack rolls against it have disadvantage because it is encased in resin armor; it automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws; and it has resistance to all damage. The trapped creature is released when the resin is destroyed (AC 10, 20 HP, immune to cold, fire, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, and piercing damage).\n  \nThe tosculi hive-queen can’t repeat an effect until they have all been used, and she can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row.  \n\n## Regional Effects\n\n  \nThe region containing a tosculi hive-queen’s lair is warped by the creature’s presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:  \n\\# Intelligent creatures within 6 miles suffer frequent headaches. It’s as if they had a constant buzzing inside their heads.  \n\\# Beasts within 6 miles are more irritable and violent than usual and have the Blood Frenzy trait:  \n**Blood Frenzy.** The beast has advantage on melee attack rolls against a creature that doesn’t have all its hit points.

A large nose pokes through the furs, and its gentle eyes shine._  \n**Spirit of Hospitality.** Wintergrims are solitary fey who build their homes in remote locations. When they are alone, they spend much of their time traversing the territory surrounding their homes, watchful for creatures in dire straits or in need of shelter. Wintergrims offer assistance and lodging to travelers they encounter and jump to the rescue for those in immediate peril. They readily share the furs in which they bundle themselves and are often laden with warm soups and beverages they share with visitors suffering from the elements.  \n**Inscrutable Rules.** A wintergrim’s hospitality has limits, as each wintergrim has a unique set of behaviors it holds taboo within the confines of its home. Breaking its rules is so abhorrent to a wintergrim, it dares not even discuss the things it forbids. The rules range from the seemingly innocuous—such as leaving one’s boots on when entering a wintergrim’s home—to common societal norms—such as not attacking or killing another guest. Discovering a wintergrim’s proscribed behavior is difficult, since the wintergrim ignores transgressions outside its home, perhaps giving a cryptic warning that it wouldn’t tolerate the same in its domicile. Mere discussion about its rules may also provoke the fey.  \nWhatever the case, wintergrims demand rulebreakers leave their premises at once, resorting to pummeling those who fail to comply.  \n**Competent Woodsfolk.** As loners with occasional guests, wintergrims are necessarily self-sustaining. They are omnivorous, and they grow gardens, set traps, and hunt for their food. Though they are inured to cold temperatures, they enjoy having a house in which they can reside and share their hospitality. They are adept with the axes they wield to chop down trees for their homes and fires, but they are careful not to overharvest wood. Other than when they hunt, they rarely use their axes as weapons. They prefer to punch their opponents in the hope they can drive their foes away, resorting to their axes only in desperate situations.","name":"Wintergrim","size":"Small","type":"Fey","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"chaotic good","armor_class":13,"armor_desc":"hide armor","hit_points":26,"hit_dice":"4d6+12","speed":{"walk":30},"strength":19,"dexterity":12,"constitution":17,"intelligence":12,"wisdom":16,"charisma":11,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{"insight":5,"nature":3,"persuasion":2,"survival":5},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"cold","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"charmed","senses":"darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13","languages":"Common, Sylvan","challenge_rating":"1/2","cr":0.5,"actions":[{"name":"Fist","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Further points only develop with the blessing of the forest. No fourteen-point imperial alseids are known to exist, but many tribes are governed by princes with thirteen points. Because antlers signify status, alseids never use them in combat. Cutting an alseid’s antlers entirely off or just removing points is a humiliating and grave punishment.  \n**White-Tailed Wanderers.** Alseids have a deep connection with forest magic of all kinds, and their leaders favor the druid and ranger classes.","name":"Alseid","size":"Medium","type":"Monstrosity","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"chaotic neutral","armor_class":14,"armor_desc":"leather armor","hit_points":49,"hit_dice":"9d8+9","speed":{"walk":40},"strength":13,"dexterity":17,"constitution":12,"intelligence":8,"wisdom":16,"charisma":8,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":5,"skills":{"nature":3,"perception":5,"stealth":5,"survival":5},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"","senses":"darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 15","languages":"Common, Elvish, Sylvan","challenge_rating":"1/2","cr":0.5,"actions":[{"name":"Spear","desc":"Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target.

Any killings or collateral damage done by enforcers are usually seen as the fault of their quarry for stepping out of line in the first place.  \n**Immortal Nature.** An angelic enforcer doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.","name":"Angelic Enforcer","size":"Large","type":"Celestial","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"lawful good","armor_class":18,"armor_desc":"natural armor","hit_points":152,"hit_dice":"16d10+64","speed":{"walk":30,"fly":90},"strength":22,"dexterity":18,"constitution":18,"intelligence":18,"wisdom":20,"charisma":20,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":9,"charisma_save":9,"perception":9,"skills":{"insight":9,"intimidation":9,"perception":9,"survival":9},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks","damage_immunities":"radiant","condition_immunities":"charmed, exhaustion, frightened","senses":"truesight 120 ft., passive Perception 19","languages":"all, telepathy 120 ft.","challenge_rating":"12","cr":12.0,"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The angelic enforcer makes two melee attacks, but can use its bite only once."},{"name":"Bite","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
