Fear Aura

Can possibly  frighten nearby Beasts and Humanoids by its fey presence.

• Enemies of the Meenlock unconditionally receive the  Meenlock Fear when nearby. By itself, this condition has no fear effect, but on each turn after receiving this condition, or if another Meenlock approaches during the round, one must make a DC 13  Constitution saving throw to prevent a  Frightened for 2 turns.

Tactics

• The in-game description of the Meenlock Fear condition states a Wisdom Saving throw, but the check is on Constitution instead.
•  Protection from Evil and Good can help negate the effect of Meenlock Fear.
•  Calm Emotions grants immunity to Meenlock fear.
•  Lesser Restoration cures Paralysed.
