 Monster Traits
Name Description
Aggressive As a bonus action, you can move up to your speed towards an enemy you can see.
Antimagic Zone Any creature within 10ft of you has disadvantage when casting magical spells.
Arcane Protection You are resistant to all magical damage.
Aura: Damaging The space around you is dangerous. Creatures take damage equal to your level when they enter your aura or
begin their turn within it.
Aura: Stench The air is putrid around you. Creatures within 5ft have disadvantage on attack rolls—unless they also have the
Stench trait.
Blood Frenzy You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any bloodied target.
Charger If you moved more than 20ft in a straight line towards your target, make your melee attack roll with advantage.
On a hit, you knock your target prone in addition to any other effect.
Corrosive Body Any creature that touches you or makes a melee attack against you takes acid damage equal to your level. Any
weapon that hits you takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to damage rolls—the weapon is destroyed
if the penalty reaches −5.
Dragonbreath You can breathe dragonfire as an attack, or use it to light small fires.
Escape: Bats When you would be reduced to 0 hit points outside of your lair, you instead turn into bats and flee to your lair.
You remain there, paralysed and resting, until you recover at least 50% of your hit points.
Escape: Mist When you would be reduced to 0 hit points outside of your lair, you instead turn into mist and flee to your lair.
You remain there, paralysed and resting, until you recover at least 50% of your hit points.
Escape: Teleport When you would be reduced to 0 hit points outside of your lair, you instead teleport directly to your lair. You
remain there, paralysed and resting, until you recover at least 50% of your hit points.
Explosive When you fall to 0 hit points, your body explodes and deals damage to everyone within 5ft. You can begin
detonation on your turn with a bonus action; you explode at the start of your next turn.
Flight You can fly your speed. While flying, you must move your entire movement speed or land—unless you can also
hover. Launching into flight provokes opportunity attacks, even if you Disengage.
Grappler You have advantage on attack rolls against any target you have grappled. In addition, when grappling a target,
any damage you take from an attack is split 50/50 with your victim.
Hover You can hover in one spot in the air for 6 second before you need to move.
Immortal You cannot be killed unless hit by a specific type of attack. Any other form of attack will reduce you to 1 hit
point, but cannot kill you.
Impenetrable You are resistant to all non-magical damage.
Incorporeal You can pass through any solid non-magical matter and cannot be hit by any non-magical weapon or attack.
Indominable You are immune to any effects that would alter your mind or will.
Invisible You cannot be seen.
Magic Resistance You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Martial Advantage Once per turn you may deal extra damage equal to your level when you hit a target within 5ft of your allies.
Parry You can spend your reaction to gain +3 AC against one melee attack that you can see.
Rampage When you reduce a target to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you can spend a bonus action to
move up to half your speed and attack a different target.
Reckless At the start of your turn, you can gain advantage on all melee attacks you make for that turn. However, all
attacks against you gain advantage until the start of your next turn.
Redirect When you are within 5ft of an ally, you can redirect any single attack made against you to your ally instead.
Regeneration You regain hit points at the start of your turn equal to your maximum hit points / 10. This regeneration stops
for 1 turn if you are hit by a specific damage type (fire/acid/lightning/etc) or you are reduced to 0 hit points.
Relentless The first time you fall to 0 hit points after a long rest, you are instead reduced to 1 hit point.
Shifty You can Disengage as a bonus action.
Split When you are bloodied, you split into two smaller copies. Each new copy has hit points equal to half of your
remaining hit points, and acts independantly.
Teamwork You have advantage on attack rolls when your target is within 5ft of an unrestrained ally.

attack onto yourself.

visible to your allies.
Sniper Hold Still You have advantage on attack rolls when your target moved less than 10ft during their last turn.
I Can See You Your ranged attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.
Next Time If you miss a target, you have advantage on your next attack against that same target.
Ricochet If your attack misses, you can spend your reaction to make another attack against a different
target of your choice within 15ft of the original target.
