Actions

Multiattack. The huecambra makes three attacks: one with its bite, one with its claw, and one with its tail.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or become cursed. While cursed, the creature grows gem-like growths across its body. When the cursed creature takes damage that isn't poison or psychic, it and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) thunder damage. This damage doesn't trigger further explosions. The curse lasts until it is lifted by a remove curse spell or similar magic.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Gem Explosion (Recharge 6). The huecambra causes some of the gem-like nodules on its body to detonate. Each creature within 20 feet of the huecambra must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 24 (7d6) thunder damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a success, a creature takes half the damage and isn't stunned. A creature cursed by the huecambra's bite has disadvantage on this saving throw.

The squat newt’s body is dappled gray and chocolate-brown and covered in colorful, wart-like gems, most prominently over its back and along its thick tail. It has long claws, a mouth full of needle-like fangs, and a gleam of intelligence in its multifaceted amber eyes._ **Mysterious Jungle Hunters.** The huecambra is an unusual and rarely seen predator native to tropical jungles and swamps. It hides amid tall reeds or in murky stretches of water, covering itself in mud to hide the gleam of the gem-like growths covering its body. Open Game License
