Amphibious. The grung elite warrior can breathe air and water.

Grung Poison. Grung poison loses its potency 1 minute after being removed from the grung elite warrior. A similar breakdown occurs if the grung elite warrior dies. A creature poisoned by the grung elite warrior can suffer an additional effect that varies depending on the grung elite warrior’s skin color. This effect lasts until the creature is no longer poisoned by the grung elite warrior.

Maneuvers. The grung elite warrior uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 13). It has 5 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 1, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:

1 stamina die: ambush, bloodletting blade, cripple, fan of knives, feint, spring attack

Poisonous Skin. Any creature that grapples the grung elite warrior or otherwise comes into direct contact with the grung elite warrior’s skin must succeed on a Difficulty 12 Fortitude saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature no longer in direct contact with the grung elite warrior can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Standing Leap. The grung elite warrior’s jump is always treated as if it has a running start.

Actions (1)

Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 1 m. or range 3/10 m. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Shortbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 10/100 m. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Mesmerizing Chirr (Recharge 6). The grung elite warrior makes a chirring noise to which grungs are immune. Each humanoid or animal that is within 3 meters of the grung elite warrior and able to hear it must succeed on a Difficulty 12 Will saving throw or be stunned until the end of the grung elite warrior’s next turn.

As an action, you can use Stealth without using an action. Additionally, before the end of your next turn, you can add the stamina die to an attack’s damage (add half on a miss by 4 or less) if you have advantage on the attack, or if the creature is within 1 meter of an enemy of the creature that isn’t incapacitated and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack.

Enhance

You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.

As an action, make a melee weapon attack with a light or finesse weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage to cause the creature to bleed.
