Eater of Dust 2014
CR 9 aberration
Medium aberration, Neutral Evil
The eater of dust’s Maw-Arm attacks are magical. When the eater hits with its Maw-Arm, the weapon deals an extra 3d8 necrotic damage (included in the attack).
The eater of dust regains 5 hp at the start of its turn. If it takes fire damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of eater’s next turn. The eater dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hp and doesn’t regenerate.
