Action
Maddening Roar (Recharge 5-6)
A spawned yaoguai is a tortured monster that lives a painful existence. A spawned yaoguai can let out a terrible roar with horrendous undertones of madness. All creatures that hear it within a 30-foot radius must succeed a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or take 13 (2d12) psychic damage and are confused as per the confusion spell. A successful saving throw halves the damage and prevents the confusion effect. A confused creature can attempt new saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end this effect. Creatures immune to psychic damage are immune to this second effect.
Action
Multiattack
The spawned yaoguai makes one bite attack, one claw attack, and one tentacle attack.
Action
Tentacle
Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, 1reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Special
|Fast Healing|Fortification|Polymorph|Susceptibility|Quills
You regain hit points at 5 per round. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow lost body parts.
Special
|Fast Healing|Fortification|Polymorph|Susceptibility|Quills
Unless otherwise stated, it does not allow lost body parts to be reattached. Fast healing continues to function (even at negative hit points) until a creature dies, at which point the effects of fast healing end immediately.
Special
|Fast Healing|Fortification|Polymorph|Susceptibility|Quills
The monster has an 50% chance to treat any critical hit or sneak attack as a normal hit.
Special
|Fast Healing|Fortification|Polymorph|Susceptibility|Quills
A yaoguai is immune to polymorph effects or effects that otherwise change its shape, but the attempt to alter its shape causes it great pain and it must attempt a saving throw if the effect allows it. If it fails its save or the effect doesn't allow a saving throw, the yaoguai is staggered and loses its resistances and fast healing for 1d4 rounds.
Special
|Fast Healing|Fortification|Polymorph|Susceptibility|Quills
A creature attacking the yaoguai with a melee weapon, an unarmed strike, or a natural weapon takes piercing damage from the yaoguai's quills. Melee weapons with reach do not endanger their users in this way.
A spawned yaoguai is a monstrosity born of unnatural magic that tried and failed to recreate another creature or that sought to combine several different creatures into one body, creating a deformed, mismatched monster that slays and escapes its creator as soon as possible. No two spawned yaoguai look the same, but most have similar abilities. Invariably, the torment of its genesis and the ongoing pain of its existence leave a spawned yaoguai violently insane and prone to attacking at the slightest provocation.
