Babbel.

An allip constantly mutters and whimpers to itself, creating a hypnotic effect. All sane creatures within 60 feet of the allip must succeed at a DC 13 Intelligence saving throw or suffer the effects of a Hypnotic Pattern Spell. Creatures who successfully save cannot by affected by the same allip's babble for one day.

Incorporeal Movement.

The allip can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Madness.

Anyone targeting the allip with a mind-control or telepathic ability takes 1d4 Intelligence damage. The target dies if this reduces its Intelligence to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest.

If a non-evil humanoid dies from this attack, an new allip rises from the corpse 1d4 hours later.
