Cala'diel (5e Campaign Setting)/Stats/Phaidryn

Phaidryn the dire wolf. His fur is discolored to hide his true winter wolf nature.

When a party wishes to hunt Phaidryn make sure he is described as a dire wolf by anyone they question. This also includes any information Nash may have on him. In reality he is a winter wolf that has brown fur. Phaidryn is a highly intelligent wolf, and like other winter wolves understands common. The unique thing about Phaidryn however is that he can speak common just as well any humanoid could. It is very likely that while in battle he will taunt and threaten the party. Intimidation is his strong point and hearing his deep growling voice for the first time catches his foes off guard. No one who hears him speaks lives to tell about it.

Legendary Actions Each round Phaidryn can take his legendary action once. It may be used at the start of any turn and then at the start of his turn he regains his spent action. Intimidating Presence. Phaidryn uses his growling voice to strike fear in one creature he can see within 10 feet of him. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw against his presence or become frightened for 1 minute. The frightened 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’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends, the target is immune and has overcome his intimidating presence.
