The Soulrider (Monitor) is a Level -1 creature, with Armor Class 14 and 8 hit points. The soulrider is a tiny parasitic aberration that hitches a ride on the souls of the living.
Planar Adaptation (Monitor). A spawning soulrider has traits appropriate to the planar energy it's absorbed: celestial and holy, fiend and unholy, or monitor. Monitor Escape (2 actions) (concentrate, teleportation). The soulrider's form blurs as it exploits loopholes in the multiverse. It teleports to an empty space within 60 feet. Propulsive Launch (2 actions). The soulrider Leaps up to 40 feet, then makes a sucker Strike. If it's in the air and not attached to a creature after the Strike, it falls. Soul Attach (spirit). When a soulrider succeeds at a sucker Strike against a target with a soul capable of facing judgment, its sucker attaches it to that soul. While attached, both the soulrider and the host creature are Off-Guard, and the soulrider moves with its host until the soulrider dies or the host pulls it loose (Escape). If the host dies while the soulrider is attached, the soulrider disappears immediately to follow the soul leaving the body. A creature returned to life before reaching its final destination generally returns with any attached soulrider. Tail Thrash (2 actions). Requirements The soulrider is attached to a creature's soul. Effect The soulrider makes a tail Strike against the creature whose soul it's attached to, then one against another creature adjacent to the original target. These Strikes count towards the soulrider's multiple attack penalty, but it doesn't increase until after the second attack.
8 hit points.
