Blood Fury (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). On its turn, the orc nurtured one of yurtrus can unleash the orcish fury coursing through its veins. Once on each of its turns while seething with fury, it can add 1 to the damage when it damages a creature with an attack or a spell that targets only one creature. Its fury lasts for 1 minute or until it is unconscious or dies.
Corrupted Carrier. When the orc nurtured one of yurtrus is reduced to 0 health, it explodes, and any creature within 2 meters of it must make a Difficulty 13 Fortitude saving throw.

A creature poisoned by this effect can repeat the save at the end of each of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. While poisoned by this effect, a creature can’t regain health.
