Spellcasting. The apprentice is a 1st-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). They have the following wizard spells prepared:

• Cantrips (at will): Fire Bolt, Mending, Prestidigitation

• 1st level (2 slots): Burning Hands, Disguise Self, Shield

Detachable Limbs. The lebendtod can detach or reattach any limb or its head as an action. Any humanoid that can see this action must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the humanoid is frightened of the lebendtod until the start of the lebendtod's next turn. On a success, the humanoid is immune to the frightened effect of this trait for 24 hours.

As a bonus action, the lebendtod can control any and all of its detached limbs as follows:

• A detached leg is unable to attack and has a 5' movement speed.

• A detached arm has a speed of 5' and can make one claw attack.

• If the lebendtod detaches its head, humanoids have disadvantage on the saving throw against the frightened condition described above. A detached head has a speed of 0' and can make one bite attack, but only against a target in its space.

• Each detached limb has an AC equal to the lebendtod's and 6 (1d12)HP. The lebendtod magically shares its senses with any detached limb.

• The lebendtod's speed is halved if it's missing a leg. If it loses both legs, it falls prone. If it has both arms, it can crawl. With only one arm, it can still crawl, but its speed is halved. With no arms or legs, its speed is 0, and it can't benefit from bonuses to speed.
