Traits

Regeneration.

Doru regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If Doru takes radiant damage or damage from Holy Water (Flask), this trait doesn't function at the start of Doru's next turn.

Spider Climb.

Doru can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Vampire Weaknesses.

Doru has the following flaws:

  • Doru can't enter a residence without an invitation from one of the occupants.

  • Doru takes 20 acid damage when it ends its turn in running water.

  • Doru is destroyed if a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into its heart while it is incapacitated in its resting place.

  • Doru takes 20 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks

Actions

Multiattack.

Doru makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.

Bite.

Melee Attack Roll: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Doru, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Doru regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Claws.

Melee Attack Roll: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, Doru can grapple the target (escape DC 13).
