Traits
False Appearance. While the mannequin remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a usual mannequin.

Actions
Multiattack. The mannequin makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) Bludgeoning damage plus 2 (1d4) psychic damage.
Ghostly Fright. The mannequin can use its ghostly nature to terrify creatures around it. The mannequin can force a creature within 30 feet of it to make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or become Frightened for 1 hour. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on themselves with a success or taking 9 (2d8) Psychic damage on a failed save. Only one creature can be haunted by the spirit at a time, and if a target’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to this mannequin’s Ghostly Fright for the next 24 hours.
