Magic Resistance. The vrock has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Multiattack. The vrock makes two attacks: one with its beak and one with its talons.
Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage.
Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) slashing damage.
Spores (Recharge 6). A 15-foot-radius cloud of toxic spores extends out from the vrock, filling the area for 1 minute. The spores spread around corners. Each creature that starts its turn in that area must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 5 (1d10) poison damage and become poisoned. While poisoned in this way, the target takes 5 (1d10) poison damage at the start of each of its turns. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Stunning Screech (1/Day). The vrock emits a horrific screech. Each creature within 20 feet of it that can hear it and that isn’t a demon must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of the vrock’s next turn.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single vrock is deadly at levels 1–4, medium at level 5 and easy at levels 6–9, and barely a challenge from level 10. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: other planes.
