Actions

Barbed Hook. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) piercing damage.

Dirge of the Deep (Recharge 5–6). The chorister sings. Each creature of its choice within 20 feet of it that can hear it must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 7 (2d6) psychic damage and must use its movement on its next turn to move toward the chorister by the safest route. On a success, it takes half as much damage and isn't drawn toward the song.

Original creature of The Dragon's Lantern.
