When a creature that can see the angatra\xe2\x80\x99s eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the angatra, the angatra can force it to make a DC 13  Charisma  saving throw if the angatra isn\xe2\x80\x99t  incapacitated  and can see the creature. On a failed saving throw, the creature\xe2\x80\x99s pain threshold lowers, and it becomes vulnerable to all damage types until the end of its next turn. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can\xe2\x80\x99t see the angatra until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the angatra in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. \n'b'  Ancestral Wrath . The angatra immediately recognizes any individual descended from its tribe. It has advantage on attack rolls against such creatures, and those creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against the angatra\xe2\x80\x99s traits and attacks. \n'b'  Undead Nature . The angatra doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air, food, drink, or sleep. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The angatra makes two Claw attacks. \n'b'  Claw .  Melee Weapon Attack : +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.  Hit : 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the creature must succeed on a DC 15  Constitution  saving throw or be  paralyzed  by pain until the end of its next turn. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' The withered creature wrapped in gore-stained rags pulls back a tattered hood to reveal glowing eyes hungry with bloodlust. \n'b' In certain tribes, the breaking of local taboos invites terrible retribution from ancestral spirits, especially if the transgressor was a tribal leader or elder. The transgressor is cursed and cast out from the tribe, then it is hunted and executed. \n'b'  Bound Remains Entombed . The body is wrapped head to toe in lamba cloth to soothe the spirit and to bind it within the mortal husk, then sealed in a tomb far from traditional burial grounds so none may disturb it and its unclean spirit does not taint the blessed dead. \n'b'  Slow Ritual Cleansing . Each such body is visited every ten years as the tribe performs the famadihana ritual, replacing the lamba bindings and soothing the suffering of the ancestors. Over generations, this ritual expiates their guilt, until at last the once-accursed ancestor is admitted through the gates of the afterlife. If a spirit\xe2\x80\x99s descendants abandon their task, or if the sealed tomb is violated, the accursed soul becomes an angatra. \n'b'  Angry Spirit . The creature\xe2\x80\x99s form becomes animated by a powerful and malicious ancestor spirit, undergoing a horrible metamorphosis within its decaying cocoon. Its fingernails grow into scabrous claws, its skin becomes hard and leathery, and its withered form is imbued with unnatural speed and agility. Within days, the angatra gathers strength and tears its bindings into rags. It seeks out its descendants to share the torment and wrath it endured while its spirit lingered.'
