cloak."},{"name":"Light Sensitivity","desc":"While in bright light, the cloaker has

sight."}],"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The cloaker makes two attacks:

Attack:_ +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. _Hit:_ 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage,
and if the target is Large or smaller, the cloaker attaches to it. If the cloaker
has advantage against the target, the cloaker attaches to the target's head, and
the target is blinded and unable to breathe while the cloaker is attached. While
attached, the cloaker can make this attack only against the target and has

one. If the cloaker is ever in an area of bright light, the duplicates disappear.\
nWhenever any creature targets the cloaker with an attack or a harmful spell while
a duplicate remains, that creature rolls randomly to determine whether it targets
the cloaker 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.\nA duplicate has
the cloaker'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."}],"bonusActions":[],"reactions":[],"legendaries":[],"mythics":
