Specter - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Specter

A Specter is what remains when a dead soul cannot leave because its hunger was rewritten into the land itself. These spirits are not always born from malice. Sometimes they are a guard who failed, a mournful ancestor, or a trespasser swallowed by cursed roots. Over time, the need to feel alive again twists into a draining hunger. The specter in Seal the Root Line is especially dangerous because it has learned that the life force of the living can be carried through roots, letting it appear where the party feels safest.

Incorporeal Movement. The specter can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. If it ends its turn inside an object, it takes 5 force damage.
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the specter has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Life Drain. The specter's Life Drain is its signature attack. On a hit, the target loses vitality instead of merely taking damage, making this monster dangerous even though its raw damage is modest.
Life Drain. Melee Spell Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 () necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by the amount of necrotic damage taken until the target finishes a long rest. If this reduces the target's hit point maximum to 0, the target dies. The specter gains temporary hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt.
Slip Into Shadow. When a creature the specter can see ends its turn within 5 feet of it, the specter moves up to 15 feet without provoking opportunity attacks, provided it ends this movement in dim light, darkness, or inside a solid object.
