Obsidian Tribunal Shadow Hound - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Obsidian Tribunal Shadow Hound

The Obsidian Tribunal breeds these hounds to ensure that its messengers survive long enough to deliver verdicts, warrants, and death sentences. A hound recognizes the scent of its assigned courier and will pursue that individual through crowds, rain, and magical darkness. Tribunal handlers claim the creatures can smell a lie, but in truth they are trained to follow the scent of fear released when someone knowingly betrays an oath.

Shadow Blend. While in dim light or darkness, the hound can take the Hide action as a bonus action. If it remains motionless in dim light or darkness, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary patch of shadow until it moves or attacks.
Keen Hearing and Smell. The hound has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. It can pinpoint the location of a creature within 30 feet if that creature is hidden from sight but not behind total cover.
Umbral Hunter. The hound has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made in dim light or darkness. In direct sunlight, it has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and cannot use Shadow Blend.
Black-Glass Body. The hound can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, as long as that space is in dim light or darkness. It cannot end its movement inside an object.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 () piercing damage plus 3 () necrotic damage. If the hound had advantage on the attack roll, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Shimmering Evasion. When a creature the hound can see targets it with an attack while the hound is in dim light or darkness, the hound imposes disadvantage on that attack roll, then moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks. The hound cannot use this reaction if it is incapacitated.
