Actions

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage, and the skull attaches to the target. If the target is Medium or smaller and the skull has advantage on the attack roll, it attaches to the target's face, and the target is also blinded while the skull is attached in this way. While attached to the target, the skull can attack no other creature except the target but has advantage on its attack rolls. The skull's speed also becomes 0, and it moves with the target. A creature can detach the skull by making a successful DC 12 Strength check as an action. On its turn, the skull can detach itself from the target by using 5 feet of movement.

Kiss of Undeath (1/Day)

If the skull is attached to a creature's face, it inserts its proboscis into the target's mouth. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage and become poisoned for one hour.
