Psithalide Vanguard

CR 3 Monstrosity

The frontline defenders and patrols of the hive, vanguards rush into battle with raw psionic force. While not the hive’s strongest, their coordinated strikes and nerve-jarring attacks make them formidable in numbers. Simple yet efficient, they carry out the broodmother’s will without hesitation.

How would you fend off a swarm of these shocktroopers armed with psionic power?

Psithalide Drone

CR 1 Monstrosity

The foundational workers of the hives, drones are the backbone of Psithalide society, endlessly laboring to expand and shape the hive to the broodmother’s will. Their tireless craft weaves psionically warped tunnels and chambers that confound outsiders with incomprehensible design.

Though simple-minded and occupying the third-lowest tier of the caste system, drones occasionally reveal glimmers of individuality through the artistry of their construction or in brief moments of communication.

How would you find your way through their tunnels, when every path seems to lead in circles?

Psithalide Broodlings

CR 1 Monstrosity (Swarm)

The lowest caste of the Psithalide hive, broodlings are swarms of tiny, semi-conscious insects that work as one. Though unintelligent alone, their collective efforts shape the hive’s foundation. Often underestimated, these writhing masses can overwhelm foes or spread psionic dissonance.

How would you handle a swarm that thinks as one?

Psithalide Bombard

CR 2 Monstrosity

Thanks to the broodmother's prudence, Psithalide swarms rarely attack large cities, as this would incur an unnecessary risk of wasting the lives of her brood. That doesn't mean that they couldn't, though...

💬 How would your party deal with a bombard from 300 feet away?
