When the urochar dies, it releases all the fear it consumed in its lifetime in a single, mind-rending wave. Each creature within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 19 Charisma saving throw or be  frightened  for 1 minute. A  frightened  creature takes 14 (4d6) psychic damage at the start of each of its turns. A  frightened  creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. \n'b'  Rubbery Body . The urochar\xe2\x80\x99s body is rubbery with few bones, allowing it to easily move through any opening large enough for a Medium creature. It can squeeze through any opening large enough for a Small creature. The urochar\xe2\x80\x99s destination must still have suitable room to accommodate its volume. \n'b'  Spider Climb . The urochar can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack .

The urochar has four tentacles, each can grapple only one target. \n'b'  Paralyzing Gaze . The urochar turns its eerie gaze upon one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 19  Wisdom  saving throw or be  paralyzed  for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target\xe2\x80\x99s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the urochar\xe2\x80\x99s Paralyzing Gaze for the next 24 hours. \n'b'  Strangling Grasp . Each creature  grappled  by the urochar must make a DC 19  Strength  saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 36 (8d8) bludgeoning damage and can\xe2\x80\x99t breathe until the grapple ends. On a success, a creature takes half the damage and can still breathe. \n'b'\n'b' BONUS ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Hidden Step . The urochar magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see and takes the  Hide  action.

Urochars feast on the final moments of those caught in their crushing tentacles. Though powerful, urochars are quite passive. They watch the life and death struggles of other creatures and take action only to drink in a dying being\xe2\x80\x99s final moments from a nearby crevice or overhang. \n'b'  Immortal .
