Low-Light Vision
The monster can see in dim light as though it were bright light, so it ignores the Concealed condition due to dim light.
Enraged Growth (polymorph, primal, transmutation)Trigger The spriggan warlord takes damage
Effect The spriggan warlord grows to size Large, along with their equipment (which returns to natural size if removed). The spriggan warlord's reach increases by 5 feet. They regain 15 Hit Points and gain a +2 status bonus to melee attack and damage rolls.
This effect continues until the end of the spriggan warlord's next turn, but on any turn in which the spriggan warlord deals damage to another creature and is not Fatigued, the effect extends until the end of the following turn.
When Enraged Growth ends, the spriggan warlord is fatigued for 1 hour.
Bully's Bludgeon (nonlethal)The spriggan warlord makes a morningstar Strike with a +2 circumstance bonus to its attack roll. This attack is nonlethal.
Sneak AttackThe spriggan warlord's Strikes deal an additional 2d6 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.

While the leaders of larger spriggan enclaves tend to be uniquely trained warriors with highly specialized skills, spriggan warlords are fond of the traditional spriggan weaponry of morningstar and crossbow, valuing this traditional fighting style for its simplicity and for using both weapons to their full potential. Spriggan warlords often serve as sub-commanders in large groups, filling roles in spriggan society akin to captains of the guard or bodyguards to spriggan royalty. In smaller groups or remote outposts, a single spriggan warlord is typically in charge of a band of spriggan bullies.
