Sorrowsworn

Sorrowsworn are monstrosities personifying different aspects of despair, and can invoke these emotions in their targets to weaken them as part of their attacks.

Description
There are five forms of Sorrowsworn, each associated with a different emotion and each with their own abilities: The Angry, The Hungry, The Lonely, The Lost, and The Wretched. All rely on these emotions to weaken their foes; by resisting these emotions, attackers can in turn weaken the Sorrowsworn in question. In line with their dark origins, all have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage when not in bright light.

The Angry
The Angry is a two-headed creature with hooked hands. The heads of The Angry constantly argue with each other. If an enemy deals damage to The Angry, it has advantage until the end of its next turn and can deal additional psychic damage, but similarly, if not attacked for a round, the Angry gains disadvantage on attacks on its turn.

The Hungry
The Hungry is a skinny, clawed creature with a huge mouth and a boundless appetite for the life force of others. If a creature it can see is healed, The Hungry gains advantage on attacks until the end of its next turn and its bite deals additional necrotic damage.

The Lonely
The Lonely is a creature with harpoon arms. It desires companionship and gains advantage when it is within 30 feet of at least two other creatures; otherwise it attacks at disadvantage. Several of its attacks involve attempting to embrace and grapple foes.

The Lost
The Lost is a creature with many spiked arms, who attempts to disorient its foes and foster despair and panic. Like The Lonely, it attempts to embrace those it finds. It invokes fear when it does so. It is gray, with a visible ribcage and a sorrowful wail.

The Wretched
The Wretched are small monsters with many teeth. They often hunt in packs and live off the life force and fear of those they bite.

Known Sorrowsworn
The Mighty Nein were attacked by several the Lost on their journey through the Barbed Fields towards Bazzoxan. The creatures were able to grapple Caleb and Fjord, and were killed by Beau and Jester.

Trivia
In D&D canon, these creatures come from the Shadowfell. It it is unclear if this is true in Exandria, but it is consistent with their appearance onstream. Jester was unable to identify the creatures, but was fairly sure that they did not originate from the Material Plane, and Yasha knew that the Barbed Fields are home to many creatures from other planes.
