Explode
When Grimzod is reduced to 0 hit points, it explodes in a cloud of ash. Any creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 16 (3d10) necrotic damage.
Spider Climb
Grimzod can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Unusual Nature
Grimzod doesn't require air or drink.
Actions
Energy Drain
Melee or Ranged Spell Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30 ft., one creature. Hit: 22 (4d10) necrotic damage. A Humanoid reduced to 0 hit points by this attack dies and instantly transforms into a free-willed shadow or vampirate (captain's choice) under the DM's control.
Heavy Crossbow
Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d10 + 3) piercing damage.
Ship Invisibility (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest)
A ship upon which Grimzod stands, along with all creatures and objects aboard it, becomes invisible to creatures not aboard the ship. Grimzod must concentrate on this magical effect to maintain it (as if concentrating on a spell), and it lasts for up to 1 hour. The effect ends if Grimzod leaves the ship.

Reactions
