When the howler is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed, and lets out a final devastating shriek. Each creature within 300 ft. of the howler than can hear it must make a DC 15 wisdom saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Incorporeal Movement.

The howler 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.

Silence Vulnerability.

The howler takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage if it enters into or ends its turn within the area of a silence spell.

Actions

Multiattack. It makes three attacks with its Draining Touch.
Draining Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 29 (4d10 + 7) psychic damage.
Scream of the Dying (Recharge 5–6).

The howler emits a soul-numbing scream. Each creature within 30 ft. of the howler that can hear it shriek must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. A creature that fails its save takes 44 (8d10) psychic damage and is stunned for 1 minute. A creature that succeeds on its save takes half as much damage and isn’t stunned. A stunned creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success.
