Special abilities

• Guardian Projection. The spirit naga's skeletal form is covered with a magical illusion that makes it look like the guardian naga it was in life. The naga can use a bonus action to dismiss this illusion until the end of its next turn. The changes wrought by this illusion fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, a creature touching the spirit naga would feel its rough, dry scales and exposed bones instead of the smooth, cool scales of a guardian naga. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 20 INT (Investigation) check to discern the spirit naga's true appearance.
• Monstrosity Resilience. The naga is resistant to exhaustion and to the frightened condition.
• Necrotic Strikes. The naga's weapon attacks are magical. When the naga hits with any weapon attack, the weapon deals an extra 4d8 necrotic damage (included in the attack).
• Rejuvenation. If it dies, the naga returns to life in 1d6 days, regaining all its HP and becoming active again. Only a wish spell can prevent this trait from functioning.
