Swift and Sensible. While unarmored, the sleep spreader may

add both its Dexterity and Wisdom modifier to its Armor Class.

Multiple Targets. The sleep spreader has multiple targets that

can be targeted. If the sleep spreader’s balloon is popped, it
falls and loses its fly speed until it makes a new balloon during
a long rest. If the spreader’s sack is ruptured, it immediately
uses its Spread Sleep Powder action and then afterward loses
the ability to use that action until it makes a new sack during a
long rest.

Actions
Blowgun. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 25/100, one
target. Hit 3 piercing damage.

Spread Sleep Powder(Recharge 5-6). The sleep spreader spreads

sleeping powder from his bag to affect other creatures. The
spreader spreads this powder in a 15-foot cone originating
from themself. Each creature within the cone’s area must
immediately make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed
save, an affected creature becomes groggy, causing them to
roll with disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until
the end of their next turn. If an affected creature critically fails
or fails their save by 5 or more, they instead fall asleep,
becoming unconscious for 1 minute. This unconscious effect
ends if the creature takes damage or if another creature uses
their action to wake them up.
Thorn Drake
Thorn drakes are plants that take the form of wingless Thorn Drake
draconic creatures. These plants like to take the form of Huge Plant

would use their leaves or vines for other means. The Armor Class 11 (chain mail, shield)

Thorned Body. A creature that hits the thorn drake with an

unarmed strike or natural weapon takes 1d4 piercing damage.
Additionally, a creature that starts their turn in a grapple with
the thorn drake, takes 1d4 piercing damage.

Fake Appearance. While remaining motionless, the Thorn Drake

is indiscernible from an ordinary plant.

Actions
Multiattack. The thorn drake makes one bite and one poisoned
claws attack or two poisoned claws attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit
15 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.

Poisoned Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one

target. Hit 9 (2d4 + 5) piercing damage and the target must
make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save an
affected target takes 4(2d4) poison damage, taking only half as
much on a success. If the target fails their save by 5 or more,
roll 1d20. On a result of 5 or lower, the target is paralyzed until
the end of the drake’s next turn. On a result of 6 or higher, the
target is poisoned until the end of the drake’s next turn. A
creature immune to the poisoned condition is immune to the
paralyzed and poisoned effects of this attack.

Thorn Breath. The thorn drake exhales a barrage of thorns in a

30-foot cone directly in front of it. Each creature in the cone’s
area must immediately make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, an affected creature takes 22 (10d4) piercing
damage and is restrained until the end of the drake’s next turn
as the thorns pin them to a surface. A creature pinned down
can use their action to make an Acrobatics or Athletics check to
break free from the thorns(escape DC 15). On a successful
save, an affected creature takes only half as much damage and
isn’t restrained.
