Actions

Multiattack. The nothic makes two claw attacks. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 1 square., one target. Hit: 6 1d6+3 slashing damage.
Rotting Gaze. The nothic targets one creature it can see within 6 squares of it. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw against this magic or take 10 3d6 necrotic damage.
Weird Insight. The nothic targets one creature it can see within 6 squares of it. The target must contest its Charisma (Deception) check against the nothic's Wisdom (Insight) d20 check. If the nothic wins, it magically learns one fact or secret about the target. The target automatically wins if it is immune to being charmed.

A nothic is a monstrous creature with terrible talons and a single great eye. When driven to violence, it uses its horrific gaze to rot the flesh from its enemies' bones.

The nothic retains very little of its original shape, save the overall humanoid form.
