An empusa wears beauty like borrowed clothing, though one leg gleams like bronze and the other ends in an animal hoof. It approaches lonely roads at night, speaks with impossible familiarity and feeds when trust becomes sleep.
Special Attack
Honeyed Invitation: one creature within 30 ft makes a Mind save; on a failed save it is charmed for 1d4 rounds and walks toward the empusa. Bronze Kick: bludgeoning, melee 5 ft, +4 to hit, 2d8+3.
Special Defense
Mockery Breaks the Mask: a creature that spends its turn loudly naming both mismatched legs forces the empusa to make a Mind save. On a failed save its disguise collapses, Honeyed Invitation ends and it suffers -2 to attacks for 1d4 rounds.
