Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Emotionsense

Ji-yook can sense the emotions of those within 60 feet as an imprecise sense.

Waylay (illusion)

When Ji-yook Strides at least 10 feet, illusions make her Concealed until the start of her next turn.

Change Shape (concentrate, divine, polymorph, transmutation)

---

Ji-yook transforms into her human form. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. Ji-yook can remain in her human form indefinitely, and she can shift back to her true kitsune form by using this action again.

---

The monster changes its shape indefinitely. It can use this action again to return to its natural shape or adopt a new shape. Unless otherwise noted, a monster cannot use Change Shape to appear as a specific individual. Using Change Shape counts as creating a disguise for the Impersonate use of Deception. The monster's transformation automatically defeats Perception DCs to determine whether the creature is a member of the ancestry or creature type into which it transformed, and it gains a +4 status bonus to its Deception DC to prevent others from seeing through its disguise. Change Shape abilities specify what shapes the monster can adopt. The monster doesn't gain any special abilities of the new shape, only its physical form. For example, in each shape, it replaces its normal Speeds and Strikes, and might potentially change its senses or size. Any changes are listed in its stat block.

Disquieting Change Shape (concentrate, divine, polymorph, transmutation)

Ji-yook selects one enemy within 60 feet, then Changes Shape into humanoid form, taking the form of a person emotionally close to that enemy, such as a dead family member. Ji-yook is not aware of the form she will take until she transforms. If her target sees her, even if they are aware it is a trick, they must attempt a DC 40 will save or be Frightened 1 (Frightened 2 on a critical failure) for 1 round. This is a fear effect.

Foxfire Blast (electricity, evocation, flourish, magical)

Ji-yook makes a fist Strike. On a hit, the target takes an additional 2d4 electricity damage and is pushed back 5 feet. On a critical hit, the target is pushed back and then knocked Prone

Pinning Shot

Ji-yook pins a foe's clothing to a wall or floor or the ground. Ji-yook makes a dart Strike. If the attack hits, it deals no damage and instead pins the target to an adjacent surface. The target is Immobilized and must spend an Interact action to attempt a DC 10 athletics check to pull the dart free; it can't move from its space until it succeeds. If Ji-yook's dart Strike was a critical hit, the target must succeed at two separate Athletics checks to pull the dart free. The target is flat-footed while it remains immobilized in this way.

Sneak Attack

Ji-yook's Strikes deal an additional 4d6 precision damage to flat-footed creatures.

---

When the monster Strikes a creature that has the Flat-Footed condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, it also deals the listed precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, that weapon must also be an agile or finesse weapon.

Toughest Teamwork: Unsettling Murmur (emotion, fear)

Trigger An enemy within 60 feet is the target of a Strike or attempts a Will save

---

Effect Just when an enemy is preparing to defend itself, Ji-yook sends an illusion of herself to whisper a disquieting secret or threat into their ear. The enemy takes a -2 circumstance penalty to their AC or Will save against the triggering attack or effect.
