FEATURES

Severed Form - Passive: The Aswang can only be defeated if its Lower Form is defeated. Otherwise, it regenerates when the PCs take a rest.

Entrail Drain - Action: Make a standard attack against a target. On a successful hit, if the target takes Major damage, the target marks a Stress. If the target makes a death move from this attack, the Aswang regains 1 HP.

Fly-By Slash - Action: Spend a Fear to move the Aswang in a straight line to a point within Far range and make an attack against all targets in their path. Targets the Aswang succeeds against take 2d10+3 physical damage.

Whispers of Death - Action: Spend 2 Fear to whisper curses at a target within Close range. The target starts a Death Countdown (1d6+2). The countdown ticks when the PC fails with Fear. When it triggers, the target must make a death move. If the Aswang is defeated, the Death Countdown ends. The Aswang can only affect one target at a time with this feature.
