On a failed saving throw, the target takes 27 (6d8) necrotic damage. If the creature drops to  0 hit points  from this damage, it dies, and can only be restored to life by means of a  true resurrection  or  wish  spell. \n'b'  About \n'b' This small feline is all black, save for a small white patch on its chest and its red, pulsing eyes. However, in the blackest moments of the inky night, its true form is revealed: a red and black furred feline aberration with a spine of spikes. \n'b' Various cultures share a legend around a mystical feline creature that steals souls from those who do not leave blessings for the myth. This creature, called variously the cath s\xc3\xacth, palug, or chapalu might have a place in these legends. The hellcat appears, at first glance, as a common housecat, but this is belied by the feline\xe2\x80\x99s evil red gaze. The hellcat feeds off souls, often hunting in the night for the weakest humanoids, those lost or nearest death. (The hellcat can smell those near death.) Once located, the hellcat uses its Death Gaze to steal the creature\xe2\x80\x99s soul just before death. It will then stealthily flee, if possible, and dislikes being confronted, running into the dark as quickly as it can after tasting of the dead. \n'b' The hellcat does not discriminate, searching both urban and wilderness for humanoids of any nature, apparently preferring humans, elves, and other similar goodly races. Very few records of a hellcat stalking through the so-called evil humanoid territories exist, but whether this is a true correlation between the preferred diet of the hellcat or a lack of recordkeeping is unknown. Very rarely, a hellcat will form an alliance with a coven of evil witches or hags but will just as quickly dissolve such a friendship if the hellcat\xe2\x80\x99s life is threatened.'
