Barzul Desert Warden - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Barzul Desert Warden

In the old trail stories of Barzul, this creature is called a road ghost, though scholars insist it is flesh and hunger rather than spirit. Caravans say it first appears as a single rider on the horizon, then as three, then as none at all while the ground beneath the lead camel turns to blowing sand. Old bazaar guides leave salt and blue glass at crossroads to keep it from following them home.

Sandstrider. The warden ignores difficult terrain made of sand, loose gravel, and dune scree. It has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in sandy or dusty terrain.
Dust Veil. The warden can take the Hide action as a bonus action while in sandy terrain, dust, or dim heat haze.
Mirage Mark. At the start of combat, the warden chooses one creature it can see within 60 feet. Until the start of the warden's next turn, the chosen creature has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to track the warden and the first attack against that creature by the warden deals an extra 7 () damage.
Dust Devil Step. When the warden moves at least 10 feet on its turn through sand or loose earth, it can leave behind a choking plume. Each creature of the warden's choice within 5 feet of its path must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be unable to take reactions until the start of its next turn.
Barzul Desert Warden. The Barzul Desert Warden is a dust-cloaked predator that mimics the silhouette of a mounted outlaw or caravan guard until prey is close enough to smell the dry iron scent of its breath.
Sand in the Eyes. When a creature the warden can see hits it with an attack from within 10 feet, the warden kicks up a burst of sand. The attacker must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have disadvantage on the triggering attack's damage roll, as grit gets into eyes and joints.
