On a successful save the creature takes half as much damage and isn't poisoned.
"There are few poisons more deadly than the blood of the bigger witchlings. It's better to keep your distance if you can, they always manage to leave their mark."

Description
A witchling prodigy towers over their standard counterparts, standing at a height of 4 to 4 1/2 feet. The elite Otherwyld creatures are similarly adorned with scarred tattoos but wear more elaborate masks, reflecting their elevated status. Their dark skin is weathered, and their eyes burn with hatred. Designed as living vessels of potent toxins, the prodigies are always in search of victims to unleash their devastating end.

History
Conjured into existence by Mother Malign, a malevolent witch from the Otherwyld, witchlings have been unleashed upon Dromaria to sow chaos and assassinate important figures. Following Mother Malign's recent defeat, witchlings have remained, continuing their destructive tendencies and aligning themselves with other evil entities. Witchling prodigies are the natural leaders of their lesser counterparts, orchestrating elaborate schemes and commanding witchling packs.

Tactics
A witchling prodigy prioritizes weakening its primary target, employing hexes. If under its command, prodigies will send witchlings to weaken opponents first, sacrificing them as needed to spread their poison. Similar to standard witchlings, prodigies engage in stealthy reconnaissance and ambush tactics but do so with more strategic finesse, owing to their elevated position and experience.
