Arcane Activation (bonus action) As a bonus action, the tarling can activate its arcane power source for 1 minute . For the duration, the tarling has resistance to necrotic damage and deals an additional 3 (1d6) necrotic damage when it hits a target with a melee attack . After the tarling uses this action, it can’t do so again until its tamer finishes a long rest.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. (1d8 + 3) piercing damage
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +6, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8+ 3bludgeoning damage .
Flammable. If the tarling takes fire damage, it ignites. It and any creature it is grappling take 2 (1d4) fire damage at the start of each of its turns and its weapon attacks deal an additional 2 (1d4) fire damage on a hit. If the tarling is subject to heavy rainfall or it takes 5 or more cold damage in a single instance, the flames are extinguished.
Oil Form. When the tarling tries to move through water, it instead uses its swimming speed to skim along the water’s surface; it can’t submerge below the surface of water without a powerful detergent.
Arcane Activation Prerequisite: 3rd-level tamer Type: Active (bonus action) As a bonus action, the tarling can activate its arcane power source for 1 minute . For the duration, the tarling has resistance to necrotic damage and deals an additional 3 (1d6) necrotic damage when it hits a target with a melee attack . After the tarling uses this action, it can’t do so again until its tamer finishes a long rest.
Growth II Prerequisite: 3rd-level tamer, Growth I Type: Passive (companion) The tarling’s size increases to Medium, its Hit Die size increases to a d8 (its hit point maximum conse quently increases by 1 for each of its Hit Dice), and the damage dice of its bite and tail attacks (see be low), as well as its Arcane Activation, increase from a d6 to a d8 . This growth improvement ignores the normal maximum companion size for a tamer
Multiattack Prerequisite: 5th-level tamer Type: Active (action) The tarling gains two new action options: Tail and Multiattack . The damage die of the tail attack increases with the specified die size in the tarling’s Growth improvements . Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: Str modifier + PB to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 + Str modifier bludgeoning damage .
Refractive Exterior Prerequisite: 5th-level tamer Type: Passive (companion) When the tarling is targeted by a magic missile spell or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll, roll a d4 . On a 4, the tarling is unaffected and the energy is refracted into a random elemental type; a bolt of energy fires back at the caster as a ranged spell attack, using the caster’s spell attack modifier and dealing damage equal to the tarling’s current Hit Die size (see Growth improvements) on a hit. Roll another d4 to determine the damage type: 1-acid, 2-cold, 3-fire, 4-lightning
