Artisan Ruin Grinder

Stories told by Lorehold students say that the first Artisan Ruin Grinder carved a mural of a lost professor's face into an excavation wall and then refused to remove the portrait when the professor ordered it dismantled. The grinder was allowed to live and apprenticed itself in secret to sculptors and archivists.

Construct Nature. The Grinder is immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition, and immune to being charmed, frightened, or exhausted.
Sculptor's Focus. If the Grinder deals damage to a creature with Chisel Chorus and that creature fails the saving throw, the Grinder may mark that creature with a pigment streak. A marked creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and checks until it spends an action to wipe the streak away or succeeds on a Wisdom check. The Grinder can have up to three marked targets at once.
Masterpiece Motif. When the Grinder reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it spends 1 minute carving a small sculpture from the corpse or nearby stone. This gives the Grinder advantage on its next attack against creatures that desecrate or attempt to steal that sculpture.
Thunderous Vulnerability. If the Grinder is targeted by a spell that deals lightning damage, it has vulnerability to that damage type. The Grinder is otherwise not vulnerable to other damage types.
Multiattack. The Grinder makes two Drill Attacks.
Dual Drill. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: piercing damage. On a hit the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away and knocked prone as the drill bites and shoves. If the Grinder hits the same target with both drills during its Multiattack, the target is also grappled (escape ).
Chisel Chorus. Recharge 5-6. The Grinder spins both drills in a wide, grinding arc. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw, taking slashing damage and piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much of each on a successful one. Creatures that fail the saving throw by 5 or more are also deafened for 1 minute. The Grinder can choose to paint patterns of mineral dust in the cone; creatures that fail the save are left with vivid streaks that count as a mark for Sculptor's Focus.
Thrown Maquette. The Grinder hurls a heavy, jagged chunk of carved rubble up to 60 feet at a point it can see. Each creature in a 10-foot radius of that point must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. On a successful save they take half damage and are not knocked prone.
Riposte of the Chisel. When a creature misses the Grinder with a melee attack, the Grinder makes one Drill Attack against that creature.
Artful Dash. Move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Chisel Swipe (Costs 2 Actions). Make one Dual Drill attack.
