ShadeWeaverLANDAERIALaberrationdream
Dreamscrapers invade the dreams of sleeping mortals to scrape away at their minds and steal their dreams, leaving them raw and tired upon waking. Maggot-like, with many eyes surrounded by a circular, toothy mouth, dreamscrapers use sharp barbs attached to ethereal tendrils to trawl for dreams. After returning to the Dimension of Dreams with their prizes, they store them in their dark, spire-like cocoons, trade them, or offer them up to their heinous masters as some obscure tax.

Abilities
Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical) — A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
Tireless — Dreamscrapers never sleep or dream themselves. They gain the benefits of an 8-hour rest after 1 hour of minimal activity.
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.

Dream Step — The dreamscraper shifts to either the Dimension of Dreams or the Universe. While in the Dimension of Dreams, it can see clearly into the Universe with a range of 60 feet. On its first round in an encounter, the dreamscraper can use this ability once as a free action.
Stolen Dreams (mental, occult) — The dreamscraper catches hold of the target creature's dreams and tries to rip them away. The target must attempt a DC 22 Will save.
Success The creature is unaffected.
Failure The dreamscraper manages to only scrape at the target creature's dreams. The target becomes Fatigued.
Critical Failure The dreamscraper rips the target's dreams away and captures them. The target creature becomes fatigued. Furthermore, the target can never dream, can't be affected by spells that cause or affect dreams, can't detect or be detected by creatures with the dream trait, and can't enter the Dimension of Dreams. This effect ends if the target creature's dreams are restored through powerful magic.
