WeaverShadeLANDfey
At first glance, a huldra seems a simple creature-a human in plain robes or peasant dress, sporting long, unbound hair. These tresses and full skirts in fact disguise the huldra's supernatural features: a hollow wooden back, a long bovine tail, and incredible strength. Folk legends from the lands of the north describe huldras as the creations of troll witches, intended to lure potential meals to the slaughter. Indeed, a huldra's regeneration is so similar to a troll's that a link between the tw

Abilities
Regeneration 5 (Deactivated by Acid or Fire) — This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
Befuddling Lash (curse, mental) — When the huldra damages a creature with their tail, a wave of befuddlement clouds the target's thoughts. The creature must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or become Stupefied 1 (Stupefied 2 on a critical failure) for 1 minute.
Manipulate Luck (curse, primal) — Frequency once per day
Effect The huldra touches another creature to manipulate the creature's luck. The creature must attempt a DC 21 Will save.
On a failure, the huldra chooses good luck or bad luck. If the huldra chooses good luck, the affected creature can roll twice on one d20 roll within the next minute and use the higher result; this is a fortune effect. If the huldra chooses bad luck, the creature must roll twice and use the lower result on its next d20 roll; this is a misfortune effect.
