Flutter Reaper

Flutter Reapers are the dark work of necromancers. Once a sprite or similar fey, this undead is somewhere between a skeleton and a wrath. A tiny frail skeletal body is supported by incorporeal wings. Swarms of Flutter Reapers are surprisingly effective as a tactical option for necromancers, and bring new meaning to the saying "death by 1,000 cuts."

Actions

Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 slashing damage.

Shortbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 40/160 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. If its saving throw result is 5 or lower, the poisoned target falls unconscious for the same duration, or until it takes damage or another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

Life Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by 1. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Invisibility. The sprite magically turns invisible until it attacks or casts a spell, or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the sprite wears or carries is invisible with it.
