When inhaled, mindrot spores enter the brain through the bloodstream. As the fungus grows, it dissolves the host’s body and slowly replaces the creature’s flesh with its own.  \nThe fungus’s first target is the motor function of the brain. It takes control of the creature’s movement while the victim is still alive and fully conscious—but no longer controls his or her own body! Indeed, sensory awareness may be the last function that the fungus attacks. Eventually, even the victim’s skin and muscle are replaced with fungal fibers. At that point, the affected creature no longer looks like its former self. Such a newly-born mindrot thrall conceals its alarming appearance under heavy robes or cloaks so it can travel without causing alarm.  \n**Spore Blisters.** A thrall’s skin is taut and waxy. Blisters form just beneath the surface, and when they grow as large as a child’s fist they burst, releasing a spray of spores. It seeks to infect as many new victims as possible during the few weeks that it survives in humanoid form. At the end of that time, the thrall shrivels to a dried, vaguely humanoid husk. Even a dead mindrot thrall, however, is still dangerous because its half-formed spore blisters can remain infectious for months. Disturbing the husk can burst these blisters and trigger a Mindrot Spores attack.  \n**Dimensional Horrors.** Wizards hypothesize the fungus was brought to the mortal world by a shambling horror crossing through a dimensional portal. The remoteness of that wasteland is likely whythe mindrot fungus hasn’t destroyed whole cities, though someday it may find a more fertile breeding ground.","name":"Mindrot Thrall","size":"Medium","type":"Plant","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"neutral","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"natural armor","hit_points":82,"hit_dice":"11d8+33","speed":{"walk":30},"strength":15,"dexterity":14,"constitution":17,"intelligence":11,"wisdom":14,"charisma":6,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":5,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"bludgeoning and piercing from nonmagical attacks","damage_immunities":"acid, poison","condition_immunities":"charmed, frightened, poisoned","senses":"tremorsense 30 ft., passive Perception 12","languages":"understands Common but cannot speak","challenge_rating":"3","cr":3.0,"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The mindrot thrall makes two claw attacks."},{"name":"Claw","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Some claim the drowning must be a suicide. Others say that the water itself must be tainted with murder or some great evil spirit.  \n**Near Water.** Rusalkas dwell in the water where they died, emerging only at night. Some climb a nearby tree, dangle their feet in the water, and sing alluring songs. Others sit on the bank, combing their wet tresses and awaiting prey. They must, however, remain in or near the water where they died, as part of their curse. However, during a full moon, the rusalki can leave the water to dance along the shore or the riverbank, singing all night long and inviting young men to join them.  \n**Songs and Poetry.** Rusalkas mesmerize and seduce passersby with song and dance and poetry. Young men are their usual victims, but they also prey on curious children, lonely older men, and other heartbroken women. When a potential victim comes near enough, the rusalki entangles the person with her hair and drags him or her beneath the water to drown.  \n**Lover’s Walks.** A rusalka cannot pass for human on any but the darkest night, but she might claim to be a lonely tree spirit or a benevolent nymph willing to grant a wish in exchange for a kiss. She may part the water of a lake and coax her victim toward the center with the promise of a kiss—delivered as her hair entraps the victim and the water rushes around him.

To savants, they are the creatures that taught the shadowdancers all they know, and kept many secrets to themselves. They were once elves like all others, dwelling in mortal lands beneath the sun. An ancient catastrophe drove them to darkness, and now they are creatures of the shadow. Though they can be found on the Material Plane, they are inextricably tied to the plane of Shadows, and that is the seat of their power and culture.  \nShadow fey superficially resemble other elves, but they’re rarely mistaken for their lighted cousins. Skin tones among the shadow fey range from alabaster white to ebony black, with varying shades of gray in between, but they are otherwise lacking in color. A few have a scintillating shimmer to their skin. Many shadow fey grow horns that sweep out from their hair, varying in size from subtle nubs to obvious spikes. Others have shocking sets of teeth.  \n**Dual Natured.** The shadow fey are contradictory beings. They boast some of the best features of elves, tempered by aspects of a fouler nature. They can be deliberate and purposeful, but they’re also given to perplexing whimsy. Mortal creatures trying to fathom shadow fey motivations are in for a maddening experience; they are often illogical, capricious, and seemingly thrive on annoying others.  \n**Split Rulership.** The Summer Court and Winter Court each rule the shadow fey in the appropriate season. The turning of these seasons follows no clear calendar or schedule, though it is skewed toward summer.  \nOther fey call them the Scáthsidhe (pronounced scAH-shee), or shadow faeries, and they are usually counted among the unseelie, though they would dispute that characterization. They simply call themselves part of the sidhe, and consider themselves an extension of the Seelie Court.  \n**The Reach of Darkness.** Their bond with darkness allows the shadow fey to slip through distant spaces, traversing darkness itself from one place to another. Not only can every shadow fey slip from a shadow or patch of darkness to instantly appear elsewhere, they also control the mysterious and powerful shadow roads. Shadow roads are magical pathways that connect points on the Material Plane by dipping through the plane of shadow, allowing rapid and completely secret travel for the fey—and more importantly, for their weapons of war, their trade goods, and their allies.  \nThe shadow fey all have an instinctive understanding of how a shadow road functions, and they are adept at both operating the entrance portals and navigating any hazards on the road. This bond with darkness has a price, of course, and the shadow fey shun the sun’s light.","name":"Shadow Fey","size":"Medium","type":"Humanoid","subtype":"elf","group":null,"alignment":"lawful evil","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"chain shirt","hit_points":31,"hit_dice":"7d8","speed":{"walk":30},"strength":10,"dexterity":14,"constitution":10,"intelligence":11,"wisdom":11,"charisma":13,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":2,"skills":{"arcana":2,"perception":2},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"","senses":"darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 12","languages":"Common, Elvish, Umbral","challenge_rating":"1/4","cr":0.25,"actions":[{"name":"Shortsword","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

There, they guide visitors through the sometimes-confounding landscape. They often rescue those who incidentally succumb to the peaceful nature of planar woodlands and might otherwise perish. However, they find their services more useful on the Material Plane where nature is generally more unforgiving. Their desire to help mortals leads them to more extreme climates, with a strong preference for colder weather. Ghillie dubhs find lost travelers and guide these unfortunates to safe places. If a traveler impresses a ghillie dubh with knowledge or a desire for knowledge about the forest, the ghillie dubh gifts the traveler with some of its knowledge.  \n**Punishment of Transgression.** Likewise, a ghillie dubh expects visitors to the area it oversees to be respectful of the land. Ghillie dubhs lecture mild violators and briefly use nature to inconvenience them, such as by covering paths or removing tracks. More heinous acts—like wantonly slaughtering animals or setting trees ablaze—are met with physical retaliation.  \n**Part of the Forest.** Ghillie dubhs take on characteristics of the forests they call home to blend in seamlessly with the trees and other plants.

When this magic coalesces on a spider web touched by the light of a full moon, the web animates. The web gains life and flies through the forest, gathering other webs until it collects enough silk to form a faceless, humanoid body, with four legs and four arms.  \n**Hatred of Elves.** Lunarchidnas hate elves and love to make the creatures suffer. They poison water sources, set fire to villages, and bait monsters into stampeding through elf communities. These aberrations especially enjoy stealing away elf children to use as bait to trap the adults that come to the rescue.  \n**Cyclical Power.** The lunarchidna’s power is tied to the moon.
