{"name":"ROKURO-KUBI","cr":"2","types":"Monstrosity","size":"Medium","languages":"Oriental, Yuan-ti","alignment":"Neutral Evil","description":"Like a number of other creatures like the hannya and the twilight naga, the rokuro-kubi combines features of a serpent with human appearance. The rokuro-kubi\u2019s only snakelike feature, though, is its long neck, which it can coil around an opponent to squeeze or strangle him to death. Under most circumstances, rokuro-kubi are indistinguishable from humans, and they take pains to maintain the illusion of humanity. They typically dress in fine clothes, or else the humble garments of a pilgrim or other traveler. The illusion is quickly shattered when a rokuro-kubi attacks its chosen victim, as it stretches its neck like a huge snake, to a length of up to 10 feet. A rokuro-kubi\u2019s mouth is filled with sharp, serrated fangs.","suggestedenvironment":"","ac":"12","hitpoints":"36","strength":"14","dexterity":"15","constitution":"10","intelligence":"11","wisdom":"14","charisma":"10","movement":"30","fly":"","hover":"","burrow":"","swim":"","climb":"","senses":"Darkvision 60 ft\r\npassive perception 14","skills":"Deception +2\r\nPerception +4\r\nStealth +4\r\n","savingthrows":"Dex +4","damagevulnerabilities":"","damageresistances":"","damageimmunities":"poison","conditionimmunities":"poisoned","spellcasting":"The rokuro-kubi\u2019s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12).
