FEATURES

Horde (2d6+2) - Passive: When the Mandrake Knot has marked half or more of their HP, their standard attack deals 2d6+2 physical damage instead.

Howl of Impending Doom - Action: Spend a Fear to cause the Mandrake Knot to scream. All targets within Very Close range of the Mandrake Knot must succeed on a Strength or Instinct Reaction Roll or take 1d12 direct magic damage and start a Death Countdown (4). All countdowns tick down when a PC within the scene rolls with Fear. When it triggers, the target makes a death move. If the Mandrake Knot is defeated, all Death Countdowns end.
