Traits

Devil's Sight
Magical darkness doesn't impede the neogi's darkvision.
Mental Fortitude
The neogi has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, and magic can't put the neogi to sleep.
Spider Climb
The neogi can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Spellcasting
The neogi casts one of the following spells, using Charisma as the spellcasting ability:
- 1/day each: dimension door, invisibility
Actions
Multiattack
The neogi makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks, or it makes two Eldritch Bolt attacks.
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute.
A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Claw
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.
Eldritch Bolt
Ranged Spell Attack: +6 to hit, range 120 ft., one creature. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) force damage.
Enslave (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest) (Bonus Action)
The neogi targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of itself. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the neogi for 1 day, or until the neogi dies or is more than 1 mile from the target. The charmed target obeys the neogi's commands and can't take reactions, and the neogi and the target can communicate telepathically with each other at a distance of up to 1 mile. Whenever the charmed target takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

description
A neogi looks like an outsize spider with an eel's neck and head. It can poison the body and the mind of its targets and can subjugate even beings that are physically superior.
Neogi usually dwell in far-flung locations on the Material Plane, as well as on the Astral Plane and the Ethereal Plane. They left their home world long ago to conquer and devour creatures in other realms. During this era, they dominated umber hulks and used them to build sleek, spidery ships capable of traversing the multiverse.
A neogi void hunter is bigger than a typical adult neogi and often fills the role of captain aboard a nightspider (see the Astral Adventurer's Guide). The void hunter pledges fealty to one or more stellar entities in exchange for a taste of their immense power. These entities-known by such names as Acamar, Caiphon, Gibbeth, and Hadar-resemble stars and embody the essence of evil.
