Rot Monster

+2

The rot monster has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight or small.

The rot monster can only fly for up to 1 minute at a time. While flying, it has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws against effects that would knock it prone. If it ends its turn in the air after 1 minute of consecutive flight and nothing else is holding it aloft, it falls.

Any nonmagical weapon made of wood that hits the rot monster rots and deteriorates. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed. Nonmagical ammunition made of wood that hits the rot monster is destroyed after dealing damage.

The rot monster can pinpoint, by scent, the location of rotting food and other decaying organic matter within 1 mile of it.

Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6+1) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage.

The rot monster touches a nonmagical object made of organic matter that it can see within 5 feet of it, causing it to rot and deteriorate. If the object isn't being worn or carried, the touch destroys a 1-foot cube to it. If the object is being worn or carried by a creature, the creature can make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw to avoid the rot monster's touch. If the object touched is either armor made of leather or hide, or a wooden shield being worn or carried, it takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to an AC or 10 or a shield that drops to a +0 bonus is destroyed. If the object touched is a held wooden weapon, it deteriorates as described in the Rot Wood trait.
