ACTIONS

Multiattack. The demon bear makes two attacks with its claws.

Claws. Melee Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. 
Hit: 16 (2d10+5) slashing damage. 

Corrupting Rake (Recharge 5-6). A creature within 15 feet must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the demon bear takes total and precise control of the target. Until the end of the creature's next turn, the creature takes only the actions the demon bear chooses, and doesn’t do anything that the demon bear doesn't allow it to do. During this time the creature can use a reaction, as well. On a successful save, the creature takes 5 (1d10) necrotic damage and it's hit point maximum us reduced by the same amount. The creatures dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in in this way is raised as a zombie at the beginning of it's next turn.


Teleport. The demon bear magically teleports up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.
