DC 15 5 ft sphere, range 120 ft., one target. hit: 5 (4d10) necrotic damage.   Noxious Cloud (Recharge 6). The Essence Beast spews forth a blinding, noxious gas that covers an area with a 20ft. radius sphere centred on the Beast. All creatures that begin or end their turn inside this cloud take 4d6 Necrotic damage and must pass a DC 15 Constitution Saving Throw or be blinded for 1 minute. Creatures with eye wear such as goggles do not have to make this Saving Throw  

when an Essence Hound groges itself on the energies of its victim enough to sate its ever present hunger it begins to change, its body undergoing rapid changes to accommodate its newfound energy. Orc settlements that manage to tame one of these beasts are greatly feared and have previously required direct suppression orders from the Origin Gods to halt their warpath.
