Special abilities

• Fey Ancestry. The kallikantzaros has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put a kallikantzaros to sleep.
• Hateful Scents. A kallikantzaros who begins its turn within 20 feet of burning incense must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage on attack rolls until the start of its next turn. The kallikantzaros can't voluntarily move toward the incense. Burning old shoes has the same effect.
• Nimble Escape. The kallikantzaros can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns.
