Monster Trove: Old Fears and Hungry Things
Itzpapalotl
Huge
About
Itzpapalotl is the Obsidian Butterfly, a skeletal or fierce divine figure whose wings are edged with volcanic glass. She belongs to a starry and ancestral order where beauty, sacrifice, and predation share the same silhouette. Her descending wings cut light into black fragments, and her authority reaches those who mistake a divine boundary for unclaimed wilderness.

Exceptional (15-16)
Magic Resistance:
Fire magic melts the edges of the obsidian wings but deals half damage; cold magic ignores DR.
Special Attack
Obsidian Wingfall: creatures in a 60 ft radius make a Quick save. A failure deals 5d8 slashing damage; success halves it. Shattered magical light adds 1d8 damage.
Special Defense
Butterfly Between Blades: during the round after Wingfall, Itzpapalotl's wings close and her AC falls by 3. A sincere ancestral offering prevents the additional damage from magical light.
