Monster: Death Slaad

Monster: Death Slaad

It's not a phase, mom!
When a gray slaad lives for a long time, it can go back into isolation and perform a mysterious ritual that imbues it with evil power. Death slaads are martial and magical death machines that are usually clad in magic armor and wield magic weapons (note that the sample stat block assumes and unarmed and unarmored slaad). They look exactly like gray slaads. What I find strange is that the next stage in the slaad's lifecycle loses this evil taint.
