The  broodiken  doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air, food, drink, or sleep. \n'b'  Immutable Form . The  broodiken  is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. \n'b'  Magic Resistance . The  broodiken  has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. \n'b'  Shared Rage . The  broodiken  can\xe2\x80\x99t speak with its creator telepathically, but it can magically receive simple ideas, emotions, and images telepathically from its creator while within 100 feet of its creator. The creator can send the  broodiken  an image of a creature and emotion or simple idea tied to it, such as anger or retrieval, and the  broodiken  will seek the creature to carry out the emotion or desire. As long as the  broodiken  is following such an order, it can be more than 100 feet away from its master without wailing. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Bite .  Melee Weapon Attack : +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage, and the  broodiken  attaches to the target. While attached, the  broodiken  can\xe2\x80\x99t  attack , and at the start of each of the  broodiken\xe2\x80\x99s  turns, the target takes 9 (2d6 + 2) piercing damage. The attached  broodiken  moves with the target whenever the target moves, requiring none of the  broodiken\xe2\x80\x99s  movement. It can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement on its turn. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the  broodiken  by succeeding on a DC 9  Strength  check. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Tiny and built like a caricature of a person, this creature\xe2\x80\x99s enlarged head is filled with pointed teeth. \n'b'  Bodily Children . Broodikens are crude servants created by humanoid spellcasters willing to grow the creatures within their own bodies. Broodikens resemble their creators in the most obvious ways, with the same number of limbs and basic features, but all broodikens stand one foot tall with overly large heads and heavily fanged mouths. Those born to humanoids with wings or horns have ineffective, decorative versions that do not  help  the creature  fly  or fight. \n'b'  Emotional Echoes . Broodikens have little personality of their own and respond to their creators\xe2\x80\x99 emotions, growling when their creators feel anger and babbling happily when their creators feel joy. When their creators are more than 100 feet away, they cry loudly with a sound that resembles children of the creator\xe2\x80\x99s own species. If discovered crying by anyone other than their creator, they  attack . When their creators focus their anger on specific individuals, the broodikens  attack  as a group, using stealth to get close and overwhelm single opponents. \n'b'  Born With Daggers . Broodikens are created by eating the heart of a dead  broodiken . Once this \xe2\x80\x9cseed\xe2\x80\x9d is consumed, 2d4 broodikens grow inside of the \xe2\x80\x9cmother\xe2\x80\x9d or creator. Nurturing the growing brood requires consuming specific muds, ashes, and plants, which cost 50 gp per day for each incubating  broodiken . The incubation period requires one month and takes a toll on the creator\xe2\x80\x99s health. During this time, the creator becomes  fatigued  after four hours without eight hours\xe2\x80\x99 rest. If the creator is not a spellcaster, a spellcaster must supervise the incubation and birth. Most spellcasters birth the  broodiken  using a dagger before the  broodiken  tears its way out. A \xe2\x80\x9cmother\xe2\x80\x9d can control only one brood of  broodiken  at a time. Incubating a second brood makes the first brood furiously jealous, and they turn on their own creator.'
