The graverobber is under the control of a possessing spirit. The spirit can see into the Ethereal Plane through the graverobber\xe2\x80\x99s eyes, and it grants the graverobber advantage on  Wisdom  ( Perception ) checks, on  Wisdom  saving throws, and on saving throws against being  restrained ,  stunned , or knocked  unconscious . If the spirit is forced out by an effect like the  dispel evil and good  spell, it vanishes, and the graverobber loses this trait and its blindsight.

The graverobber has advantage on  attack  rolls against any creature that hasn\xe2\x80\x99t taken a turn in the combat yet.

It can then turn that area into  difficult terrain . \n'b'\n'b' BONUS ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Cunning Action . On each of its turns, the graverobber can use a bonus action to take the  Dash ,  Disengage , or  Hide  action.\n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Few professions are as reviled as the despicable grave robber, a vulture who shows no care or respect for the dead as they rifle through their pockets for trinkets the deceased once loved. Some of these scoundrels, however, meet their end when they become the unwilling vessels of the spirits they wronged. When a grave has been pillaged, the vengeful spirit may return to defend its former body and invade the body of the thief. Once inside its new host, the spirit forces the thief to rebury their body and  hide  any evidence of the possession. The spirit then forces the grave robber to become a warden to the graveyard, standing vigil night after night until the body dies of starvation, dehydration, or  exhaustion . \n'b' Once possessed, the grave robber gains new abilities it did not possess in life. In addition to the living robber\xe2\x80\x99s abilities to skulk in the shadows and  attack  unseen, when possessed, it has a new-found ability to control the earth itself. The spirit can manipulate the earth around its victims and slowly bury them alive. \n'b' However, the problems only begin with the newly buried bodies. People who die in this way are said to rise on the next full moon as Undead spirits and ghouls, but since this form of death usually takes place in sacred grounds, this more likely to be superstition rather than a grim reality. These possessed thieves frequently bury many people alive in short spaces of time, including any allies they may have had in life or innocent victims who unfortunately stumble into the path of this enraged ghost.'
