Bredbeddle

Solo Monster

End Effect: At the end of each of their turns, the bredbeddle can take 5 damage to end one effect on them that can be ended by a saving throw. This damage can't be reduced in any way. Solo Turns: The bredbeddle can take two turns each round. They can't take turns consecutively.

Heady or Not

While headless, the bredbeddle can move into a space containing a severed head and attach it to their neck as a main action. Doing so physically transforms the bredbeddle, who takes on the appearance, size, weight, and stability of the head's original owner. If the bredbeddle takes the form of a creature of size 1L or smaller, the distance of their melee and burst area abilities decreases by 1. These effects last until the bredbeddle is killed or beheaded, or until the head falls off after 24 hours. A head that falls off this way can no longer be attached to this bredbeddle. A creature must succeed on a hard Might test made as a maneuver to rip a head off the bredbeddle. If they fail, the bredbeddle can make a free strike against them.

Resilient Form

The bredbeddle can't be physically transformed in any way except by their Heady or Not trait.

Challenge (Villain Action 2 Malice)

The bredbeddle points at the target and issues them a challenge. If the target refuses, they turn green until the end of the encounter (see Turn Green). If the target accepts the challenge, the bredbeddle shifts adjacent to the target, who makes a Might test with no additional modifiers. Tier 1: The target is beheaded (see Lop). Tier 2: The target makes the test again. Tier 3: The target can choose to deal 40 damage to the bredbeddle or remove the bredbeddle's head.
