Shapechanger. If the haemogoblin isn't in sunlight or
running water, it can use its action to polymorph into a
Tiny bat or a Small cloud of mist, or back into its true
form.
While in bat form, the haemogoblin can't speak, its
walking speed is 5 feet, and it has a flying speed of 30
feet. Its statistics, other than its size and speed, are
unchanged. Anything it is wearing transforms with it,
but nothing it is carrying does. It reverts to its true form
if it dies.
While in mist form, the haemogoblin can't take any
actions, speak, or manipulate objects. It is weightless,
has a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a
hostile creature's space and stop there. In addition, if
air can pass through a space, the mist can do so
without squeezing, and it can't pass through water. It
has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution
saving throws, and it is immune to all nonmagical
damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the haemogoblin fails a
saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Misty Escape. When it drops to 0 hit points outside its
resting place, the haemogoblin transforms into a cloud
of mist (as in the Shapechanger trait) instead of falling
unconscious, provided that it isn't in sunlight or
running water. If it can't transform, it is destroyed.
While it has 0 hit points in mist form, it can't revert
to its vampire form, and it must reach its resting place
within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in its resting
place, it reverts to its vampire form. It is then paralyzed
until it regains at least 1 hit point. After spending 1
hour in its resting place with 0 hit points, it regains 1
hit point.

Keen Hearing and Smell. The haemogoblin has
advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on

Prehensile Tail. The haemogoblin has a long flexible tail
that is strong enough and dexterous enough to carry

Regeneration. The haemogoblin regains 20 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 the haemogoblin takes
radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait
doesn't function at the start of the vampire's next turn.
Spider Climb. The haemogoblin can climb difficult
surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without
needing to make an ability check.
Vampire Weaknesses. The haemogoblin has the
following flaws:
Forbiddance. The haemogoblin can't enter a
residence without an invitation from one of the
occupants.
Harmed by Running Water. The haemogoblin takes
20 acid damage when it ends its turn in running water.

while it is incapacitated in its resting place.

radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While
in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and

Goblin Nimbleness. The haemogoblin can move through

Actions
Multiattack (Vampire Form Only). The haemogoblin
makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite
attack.
Unarmed Strike (Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon
Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (1d8 +
4) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage, the
haemogoblin can grapple the target (escape DC 18).
Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack:
+9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature
that is grappled by the haemogoblin, incapacitated, or
restrained. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 10
(3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum
is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage
taken, and the haemogoblin 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. A humanoid slain
in this way and then buried in the ground rises the
following night as a vampire spawn under the
haemogoblin's control.
Charm. The haemogoblin targets one humanoid it can
see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the
haemogoblin, the target must succeed on a DC 17
Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed
by the haemogoblin. The charmed target regards the
haemogoblin as a trusted friend to be heeded and
protected. Although the target isn't under the
haemogoblin's control, it takes the haemogoblin's
requests or actions in the most favorable way it can,
and it is a willing target for the haemogoblin's bite
attack.
Each time the haemogoblin or the haemogoblin's
companions do anything harmful to the target, it can
repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a
success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until
the vampire is destroyed, is on a different plane of
existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to
end the effect.
Children of the Night (1/Day). The haemogoblin
magically calls 2d4 swarms of bats or rats, provided
that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, the haemogoblin
can call 3d6 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive
in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the haemogoblin and
obeying its spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1
hour, until the haemogoblin dies, or until the
haemogoblin dismisses them as a bonus action.
Bonus Actions
Nimble Escape. The haemogoblin takes the Disengage
or Dash action.
Tripping Tail. The haemogoblin makes an Acrobatics
contest against a Medium or smaller creature within 5
feet's Athletics or Acrobatics (it's choice). If it fails, the
creature is knocked prone. On a success of 5 or more
using Athletics, the haemogoblin cannot use this
feature until its finishes a short or long rest.
Reactions
Redirecting Tail. When a creature the haemogoblin can
see within 5 feet targets it with an attack, the
haemogoblin can quickly wrap its tail around the
creature's arm and mess up its aim. The attack is then
made with disadvantage.
Legendary Actions
The haemogoblin can take 3 legendary actions,
choosing from the options below. Only one legendary
action can be used at a time and only at the end of
another creature's turn. The haemogoblin regains spent
legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Move. The haemogoblin moves up to its speed without
provoking opportunity attacks.
Unarmed Strike. The haemogoblin makes one unarmed
strike.
Bite (Costs 2 Actions). The haemogoblin makes one bite
attack.
