Traits

Insatiable Greed.The eater of hope can sense the presence of gold within 1,000 feet of itself. It can determine which location has the greatest amount of gold and can sense the direction to that site. If the gold is being moved, it knows the direction of the movement. It can't locate gold if any thickness of clay or lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between it and the gold.

Magic Resistance.The eater of hope has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Claws.mw 7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d8 + 4) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.

Breath of Hopelessness 5.The eater of hope exhales a miasma of Underworld winds in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a 14 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 26 (4d12) necrotic damage and is cursed for 1 minute.

Eater of Hope

An eater of hope is bitter to the core, resentful of all forms of life and joy. Although these demons can strike down most foes, they prefer to let terror and despair overtake their victims first, letting their victims marinate in fear before the fiend devours them.
