Actions

Multiattack. The akikage can make two Freezing Strikes as an action.

Freezing Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5', one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) force damage and 7 (2d6) cold damage. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn.

• If the attack is a critical hit, the targeted creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or in 1d3 + 1 rounds the targeted creature will die as its heart and other internal organs freeze solid. The process can be stopped with the use of magical healing that removes conditions, such as Lesser Healing, Remove Curse, or a paladin's Lay on Hands.

Bonus Actions

Shadow Blend. While in dim light or darkness, the akikage becomes invisible, along with anything it is wearing or carrying. The invisibility lasts until the akikage uses a bonus action to end it or until the akikage attacks, is in bright light, or is incapacitated.
