Chain-Librarian Revenant - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Chain-Librarian Revenant

Long ago, the Chain-Librarian was a stern keeper of war records and sainted relic inventories, tasked with protecting names that should never be lost. When the Bone Bastion fell into siege, the keeper chained itself to the archive doors and swore that no invader would reach the innermost knowledge. The oath outlived the flesh. Now it rises as a revenant of procedure and punishment, cataloguing the living as if they were overdue books and dragging the forgetful into the dark to be shelved among the dead. It remembers every trespass, every torn page, and every lie spoken in a reading room.

Undead Nature. The revenant doesn't need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep.
Oath-Hardened Mind. The revenant has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects that would alter its memory or command it to break its oath.
Shelf-Thread Passage. The revenant can move through a space as narrow as 1 foot wide without squeezing if it is made of chains, hanging drapery, or open shelving.
Inconspicuous in the Stacks. While in dim light or darkness inside a library, archive, or chapel-crypt, the revenant has advantage on Stealth checks.
Chain Lash. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 () necrotic damage, and the target is wrapped in spectral chains. Until the start of the Chain-Librarian's next turn, the target's speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it cannot take reactions.
Catalog of the Dead. Ranged Spell Attack: to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 14 () cold damage, and the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have its mind flooded with stolen catalogued memories until the end of its next turn. While memory flooded, the target has disadvantage on its next attack roll or ability check.
Iron Index Pull. The Chain-Librarian targets one creature it can see within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 20 feet in a straight line toward an occupied space adjacent to the Chain-Librarian. If the target ends this movement within 5 feet of the Chain-Librarian, it is knocked prone.
Chain Snare. When a creature the revenant can see moves within 10 feet of it, the revenant may force that creature to succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of the current turn as spectral chains snag its ankles.
Cantrips
Archive HexesEnchantment and Illusion— The revenant can cast the following spells, requiring no material components: at will: mage hand, minor illusion, ray of frost; 3/day each: silence, hold person, detect thoughts; 1/day each: fear.
