Description:
A creature of the Fundamental Continuum of Trees, wreath wraiths are basically sedentary creatures that feed on prey of opportunity, primarily in human settlements around the holidays. Attaching themselves to doors or walls with sticky secretions, the wraith’s woody body resembles a festive wreath, allowing it to lie in wait, camaouflaged.
Once prey is in range, the wraith will open its large central eye and lash out with its tentacles. It will attempt to grapple and immobilize prey before using its eye beam to finish them off. All creatures beholding its slit-pupiled yellow-rimmed eye must pass a Will save or be hypnotized as per the spell.
If pressed, once per day the wraith may call upon its connection with the Fundamental Continuum of Trees to summon a mass of writhing roots from the ground to entangle as per the spell. It may also perform a short range teleport to any location within its field of vision once per day; it uses this to change positions quickly or to flee battle faster than its stumpy back tentacles can carry it. However, the wraith must break off all attacks and release all grappled or hypnotized victims to teleport.
The wreath wraith exists in a number of color variations that feed throughout the year, with orange-and-black specimens prominent around Hallowseve and white-green-red ones encountered closer to Candlemas. The method which they use to travel from the Fundamental Continuum of Trees to the Primary Worlds remains unknown, as does their method of reproduction.
Note that, despite its name, the wreath wraith is not undead and cannot be turned by a cleric.

I’m sad that I know what all those stats mean.

As a current player AND a current DM, I share your sadness. This critter may actually appear in a campaign…!

My game has stalled. Apparently, there’s some interpersonal drama between the gunslinger, witch and rogue that still hasn’t been solved. I wish they’d grow up so we can play our widdle game.

Aw, that’s a shame. My game as a player is a bit stalled due to people leaving, too. And considering that my campaign as a DM is for my girlfriend and her besties, interpersonal drama is a very real possibility…!

Festive!
Oh, and our Sorceress quit, so I think we’re done, which is annoying because my bear just grew to medium size and is able to rage now.
