>While in mist form, the vampire can't take any actions, speak, or manipulate objects. It is weightless, has a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can do so without squeezing, and it can't pass through water. It has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and it is immune to all nonmagical damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight.
>
>***Legendary Resistance (3/Day).*** If Morg fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
>
>***Misty Escape.*** When he drops to 0 hit points outside its resting place, Morg transforms into a cloud of mist (as in the Shapechanger trait) instead of falling unconscious, provided that heisn't in sunlight or running water. If hecan't transform, heis destroyed.
>While it has 0 hit points in mist form, he can't revert to its vampire form, and hemust reach its resting place within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in his resting place, hereverts to its vampire form. He is then paralyzed until he regains at least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in its resting place with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit point.
>
>***Regeneration.*** Morg regains 20 hit points at the start of his turn if he has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running water. If Morg takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn't function at the start of Morg's next turn.
>
>***Spellcasting.*** The vampire is a 9th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). The vampire has the following druid spells prepared:

>
>***Vampire Weaknesses.*** Morg has the following flaws:
>*Forbiddance.* Morg can't enter a residence without an invitation from one of the occupants.
>*Harmed by Running Water.* The vampire takes 20 acid damage if it ends its turn in running water.
>*Stake to the Heart.* If a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into the vampire's heart while the vampire is incapacitated in its resting place, the vampire is paralyzed until the stake is removed.

>
>***Unarmed Strike (Vampire Form Only).*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. *Hit:* 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage, the vampire can grapple the target (escape DC 20).
>
>***Bite (Bat or Vampire Form Only).*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Morg, incapacitated, or restrained. *Hit:* 13 (2d6 + 6) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Morg regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under Morg's control.
>
>***Charm.*** Morg targets one humanoid it can see within 30 feet of it. If the target can see the vampire, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed by Morg. The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under Morg's control, it takes the his requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bite attack.
>Each time Morg or the Morg's companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until Morg is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

>***Children of the Night (1/Day).*** Morg magically calls 2d4 swarms of **bats** or **rats**, provided that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, Morg can call 3d6 **wolves** instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the vampire and obeying its spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until Morg dies, or until Morg dismisses them as a bonus action.
