COLOUR MONSTER OR PIGMENT EATER

OLD SCHOOL

Armour as chain & shield, Move 50' (Flying) 50' , 1 Hit Dice, 4 HP, Tongue 1d4, Morale 7).

Pigment Leech- Body part struck, essentially, becomes permanently invisible. Roll a d100 to determine % of large body part that 'disappears'. Unless the target has particularly vivid skin (DM's decision),  there exists an 80% chance that the Colour Monster will attack the target's eyes.

Blinding Lick - Colour Monster takes a -4 to hit target's eyes. It only attacks one eye at a time. If damage is dealt, target must make a save vs death,  or lose the sight in that eye. There is no requirement to roll for percentage of the eye affected. It's small enough for the colour to be gone in a single slurp.

Partially Visible - The Colour Monster is difficult to see, identified only by its glowing eyes and fluorescent wings.  Difficulty in striking at the creature is subliminated into AC.   Colour Monsters surprise on a roll of 1-3 on a d6.

It's small enough for the colour to be gone in a single slurp.

Partially Visible- The Colour Monster is difficult to see, identified only by its glowing eyes and fluorescent wings. Attempting to strike it is at a disadvantage.  However,  unlike normal invisibility,  the Colour Monster does not gain advantage on its strikes.
