Chonchon

The sorcerer stays in the hut while the head goes out on leathery ear-wings. It is heard before it is seen, as three short notes repeated while it moves. It listens at walls, takes small things, and brings back what it learned. Killing the head only delays it, since it re-forms while the body is intact, so districts that solved the problem went to the hut and dealt with the body on the floor.

Traits

  • Body at Home

    While its sleeping body is intact it re-forms 24 hours after being destroyed. Destroying the body ends it.

  • Heard First

    Its call carries 300 feet and it cannot suppress it, so it has disadvantage on Stealth checks against a creature that is awake and listening.
