Lonely Sorrowsworn

Source: Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse p. 223

The sorrow of isolation afflicts many creatures that lurk in the Shadowfell, but the need for companionship is never manifested more dramatically than in the lonely sorrowsworn—also called the Lonely. When these sorrowsworn spot other creatures, they feel keenly the need for interaction and launch their harpoon-like arms to drag their victims closer.

Sorrowsworn

The Shadowfell’s pervasive melancholy sometimes gives rise to strange incarnations of the plane’s bleak nature. Sorrowsworn embody the forms of suffering inherent to the shadowy landscape and visit horror on those who stumble into their midst. Each sorrowsworn personifies a different aspect of despair or distress.
