'''Unofficial Summary:''' King Alendria and Queen {{5ed|Zanobis}} ruled at the peak of {{5ed|Cynidicea}}'s glory. After their deaths, the people of Cynidicia built a step pyramid. Under this pyramid was discovered an obelisk with a black horn stuck in it. When the horn was removed, it released an {{5ed|Elder Evil}}, {{5ed|Zargon}}.

The spirit ({{srd5lc|Ghost}}) of King Alendria haunts the pyramid, warning travelers of its dangers.

|feature1=Ethereal Sight
|flimit1=
|fdesc1=The ghost can see 60 feet into the {{SRD5|Ethereal Plane}} when it is on the {{SRD5|Material Plane}}, and vice versa.

|feature2=Incorporeal Movement
|flimit2=
|fdesc2=The ghost can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) {{srd5lc|Force}} damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

|action1=Withering Touch
|alimit1=
|adesc1=''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 17 (4d6+3) {{srd5lc|Necrotic}} damage.

|action2=Etherealness
|alimit2=
|adesc2=The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can’t affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

|action3=Horrifying Visage
|alimit3=
|adesc3=Each non-{{srd5lc|Undead}} {{srd5lc|Creature}} within 60 feet of the ghost that can see it must succeed on a {{SRD5|DC}} 13 {{SRD5|Wisdom}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}} or be {{srd5lc|Frightened}} for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages 1d4 × 10 years. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its {{srd5lc|Turn}}s, ending the frightened condition on itself on a success. If a target’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this ghost’s Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. The aging effect can be reversed with a ''{{srd5lc|Greater Restoration}}'' spell, but only within 24 hours of it occurring.

|action4=Possession
|alimit4={{SRD5|Recharge}} 6
|adesc4=One {{srd5lc|Humanoid}} that the ghost can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 {{SRD5|Charisma}} saving throw or be possessed by the ghost; the ghost then disappears, and the target is {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}} and loses control of its body. The ghost now controls the body but doesn’t deprive the target of awareness. The ghost can’t be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that {{srd5lc|Turn Undead}}, and it retains its {{srd5lc|Alignment}}, {{SRD5|Intelligence}}, Wisdom, Charisma, and {{srd5lc|Immunity}} to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses the possessed target’s statistics, but doesn’t gain access to the target’s knowledge, class features, or {{SRD5|Proficiency|proficiencies}}. 

The possession lasts until the body drops to {{SRD5|Death|0 hit point}}s, the ghost ends it as a {{srd5lc|Bonus Action}}, or the ghost is turned or forced out by an effect like the ''{{srd5lc|Dispel Evil and Good}}'' spell. When the possession ends, the ghost reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body. The target is immune to this ghost’s Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.
