Special Abilities

Limited Telepathy. The likho can magically transmit simple messages and images to any creature within 120 feet of it that can understand a language. This form of telepathy doesn't allow the receiving creature to telepathically respond.

Pounce. If the likho moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a Claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the likho can make one Claw attack against it as a bonus action.

Magic Resistance. The likho has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Disruptive Gaze. One creature the likho can see within 60 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or have disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of its next turn.
