Multiattack. The skunkdrill makes two claw attacks.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) slashing damage.
Skunkdrill Stink (Recharge 5–6). A skunkdrill can spray a terrible odor from its rear. All those within a 15-foot cone must succeed a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be coated with stink. Those coated with the stink suffer a –5 penalty to all Charisma (Persuasion) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks. All scent-based Wisdom (Perception) checks to find those coated with this stink have advantage. Nothing removes this stink except time and various magical or alchemical items. Left untreated, the penalty reduces by 1 per day. Using magical or alchemical items such as tomato juice or simply bathing with soap and water for an hour will also reduce this penalty by 1; these reductions can only reduce this penalty by 1 every day. When the penalty reaches 0, the stink is gone. Non-magical armor made from padding, leather, or hide as well as clothing permanently retains this stink; magical clothing and armor are immune to this effect.
