The Cherubikon
Inspired by my roll on Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque's christmas card post.
Cherubikon
AC: Leather, HD: 3, Attacks: 8 eye petals, 9 tentacles, 1d6 damage, attacks with up to 9 tentacles, but no more than 2 can ever be used to attack the same creature. That creature must be in line of sight of the eye petal that is attached to said tentacles.
Song of Anaphoria
Each eye petal of a cherubikon has a gaze attack, which with all 8 eyes covers a 360 degree arc. All targets of an eye petal's gaze hear a faint song that enthralls all listeners for 2d6 rds on a failed save. The enthralled experience a state of euphoria and sensasition of touching an unexplainable higher power. It is impossible to detect where the song is coming from and since it is a gaze attack even deaf creatures can hear the Song of Anaphoria. This song is so shocking to them, that it imposses disadvantage. The Song of Anaphoria also has a profound effect on clergy and holy men, and if you believe in them, angels. These creatures roll with diasadvantage too. Children are also highly suseptable to the Cherubikons' lullabies causing them to roll with disadvantage as well. More often than not, Cherubikons' are found surrounded by enthralled creatures comprised mostly of children.
