Dreamwalking. The Dreambound can enter the dreams of sleeping creatures within 1 mile as a bonus action. In the dream realm, it appears as a shifting silhouette of starlight and can attack with advantage. Anything it does in the dream realm leaves a lingering nightmare upon waking.

Actions

Multiattack. The Dreambound makes two Nightmare Claw attacks and one Dreambind attack.

Nightmare Claw. Melee weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) psychic damage. A claw strike that gnaws at the target's mind as well as body.

Dreambind. Melee weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) psychic damage. The Dreambound threads into the target's psyche. On a hit, the target is restrained as dream-threads bind its mind until the end of the Dreambound's next turn.

Soporific Gaze. The Dreambound fixes its gaze on a creature it can see within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. While frightened, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls. The effect ends early if the target takes damage or if a creature uses an action to shake off the nightmare.

Lore & Description

Appearance

A pale, shifting figure of shadow and starlight, given form by dreams. Its body is semi-transparent, with a smoky cloak that ripples like a night sky. Its eyes glow coldly, and a sense of dread fills the air around it. In dreams, it fights with unnatural grace, weaving thoughts and fears into a weapon; in the waking world, it cannot be touched and can only be faced as a remembered nightmare.

Behavior & Origins

Dreambound stalks sleepers, invading their dreams to claim the waking mind's deepest fears as trophies. It always claims victory within the dream first, leaving waking life to contend with the echo of that nightmare. To face it, adventurers must enter the dream realm with courage, dreams of their own—or risk waking to a nightmare that lingers long after the dream ends.
