Automatic Hit

Surrounds Victim
Because the executioner's hood actually surrounds its victim's head, any attack affecting the creature will also affect its victim.

Bathing it in alcohol will intoxicate it until it becomes flaccid and helpless.
A small, weird monster that drops from above to strangle victims
A small, weird monster that may be related to the lurker above, the executioner's hood often dwells underground or in ruins. It drops from niches, cracks or anchor-points on the ceiling onto its victim's head and begins to strangle. If its first attack is successful, the creature will hit automatically each round thereafter, inflicting rolled damage (1d4 hp).
Because the executioner's hood actually surrounds its victim's head, any attack affecting the creature will also affect its victim.
The only known ways to remove an executioner's hood are to kill it or to bathe it in alcohol, which will intoxicate it until it becomes flaccid and helpless.
