Specter of Night

D&D 2024 monster: Specter of Night. Source: Monstrous Compendium Volume 4: Eldraine Creatures. challenge rating 12, creature type Undead, Huge size, speed 60... Like dark mirrors of Eldraine's archons (see "Archon of Boundaries"), specters appear as shrouded figures mounted on horrific flying beasts. It is easy to look at a specter and imagine the rider in command of the mount, but the truth is the opposite; the flying horror is an Undead monster that scours the wilds for a knightly corpse. On finding one, the horror binds its essence to the dead body, giving the corpse the semblance of life as a rider. The two function as a single creature, more powerful for their unnatural union. Humans of Eldraine view specters as heralds of death. Specters are said to utter a keening wail, mournful beyond all other sounds and audible only to those who are about to die. Undead Huge 60 ft., fly 60 ft.
