Forest Hazards

Infected Animal

The players come across a pond in a small alcove. A Small or Medium beast (such as a giant weasel) will make a Stealth check against the party’s Passive Perception, then jump out of hiding in an attempt to attack the party. If it succeeds in biting someone, they must roll to resist the disease it carries, such as Brain Fever.

Insect Swarm

A cloud of swarming insects fills a 20-foot-radius sphere. The swarm moves at 20 feet on each round. When a creature enters the cloud, it must make a Constitution saving throw of DC 11. On a failed save, it takes 2d4 piercing damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud must roll another saving throw. A creature cannot be damaged by the insect swarm if it’s wielding a torch or if it is at least 5 feet from a fire.
