Sunlight Sensativity. While in sunlight, the Foguser has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Actions
------------------------------------------------
Multiattack. The Foguser makes two attacks, one with its Constrict and one with its Bite.
Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 bludgeoning damage, and a Medium or smaller target is grappled (escape DC 12). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the Foguser can't constrict another target.

Phantasms (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The Foguser magically creates three illusory duplicates of itself if it isn't in bright light.

If the Foguser is ever in an area of bright light, the duplicates disappear.
Whenever any creature targets the Foguser with an attack or a harmful spell while a duplicate remains, that creature rolls randomly to determine whether it targets the Foguser or one of the duplicates. A creature is unaffected by this magical effect if it can't see or if it relies on senses other than sight.
A duplicate has the Foguser's AC and uses its saving throws. If an attack hits a duplicate, or if a duplicate fails a saving throw against an effect that deals damage, the duplicate disappears.

Multiattack. The Reaping Matorsha makes three attacks, two with its Quarterstaff and one with its Club.
Quarterstaff. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Club. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 36 (7d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Psionic Mastery (4/Long Rest). The Reaping Matorsha gains 11 special psi points that it can spend only on disciplines that require an action or a bonus action to use. It can use all of the points on one discipline, or it can spread them across multiple disciplines. It can’t also spend your normal psi points on these disciplines; it can spend only the special points gained from this feature.
If more than one of the disciplines the Reaping Matorsha activates with these points require concentration, it can concentrate on all of them. Activating one of them ends any effect it was already concentrating on, and if it begins concentrating on an effect that doesn’t use these special points, the disciplines end that it's concentrating on.
Pulse. One creature within 60 feet of the Reaping Matorsha must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target falls prone and is pushed up to 10 feet in any direction the Reaping Matorsha chooses.
