Whisperhusk
OriginalMedium aberration, lawful evil
A thin grey figure with a smooth, featureless head that splits open like a seed pod. Whisperhusks hollow out the minds of their victims and keep what they find: voices, faces, secrets. Some wear a dozen stolen lives.

Stolen Faces. As an action, the whisperhusk takes on the appearance and voice of a humanoid it has hollowed, or returns to its true form. A creature that uses its action to examine it sees through the disguise with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.
Actions
Multiattack. The whisperhusk makes two Grasping Fingers attacks. It can then use Hollowing.
Grasping Fingers. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) psychic damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13).
Hollowing. One creature grappled by the whisperhusk must make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it takes 18 (4d8) psychic damage and its Intelligence score is reduced by 1d4 until it finishes a long rest. A creature whose Intelligence is reduced to 0 this way dies, and the whisperhusk can wear its face with Stolen Faces. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and its Intelligence isn't reduced.
Chorus Scream (Recharge 5–6). Every voice the whisperhusk has stolen screams at once. Each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, taking 22 (5d8) psychic damage and becoming stunned until the end of its next turn on a failed save, or taking half as much damage on a successful one.
