 Aberrant Elk
Elk are symbols of proud nobility in the Bürach Empire,
especially to the Unterfolk. It breaks the spirit to hear the
whispers of one corrupted by the Great Beast.

Charge. If the aberrant elk moves at least 20 feet straight toward

a target and then hits it with a ram attack on the same turn, the
target takes an extra 7 (2d6) damage. If the target is a creature,
it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be knocked
prone.
Strange Whispers. Each creature that starts its turn with 30 feet
of the aberrant elk hears strange whispers and must succeed a
DC 11 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the whispers become
overwhelming, and the creature can’t take
reactions for 1 minute. During that time they have
disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks,
and cannot concentrate on spells. A creature
can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of
its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a
creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends
for it, the creature is immune to all aberrant elks Strange
Whispers for the next 24 hours.

Actions
Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.

creature. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
