Blinding Light. The walker sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. As a bonus action, the walker can target one creature in its bright light that it can see and force it to succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start of the walker's next turn.

Frozen Remains. A creature slain by the Walker's cold energy becomes a brittle, rime-coated husk rather than a normal corpse. For 7 days after death that husk cannot be targeted by any spell or effect that would restore life, such as revivify or raise dead, and it cannot be used as material for summoning or animation magic.

Actions

Multiattack. The Walker makes two attacks: one with its Slam and one with its Frost Lash, or two Slams.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) cold damage. If the target is a creature wearing metal armor, it takes an extra 3 (1d6) cold damage as the light seeks out colder surfaces.
