Hive Mind. While within 60 feet of another Helbrood, the Brood Warrior has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Climbing Predator. The Brood Warrior can climb difficult surfaces, including ceilings, without making an ability check.

Four Eyes. The Brood Warrior has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Royal Guard. While within 10 feet of the Queen or a Helbrood Worker tending the Queen's nursery, the Brood Warrior gains a +2 bonus to damage rolls. This bonus represents its heightened defensive aggression around critical hive assets.

Chitinous Carapace. The Brood Warrior's thick armor protects its vulnerable flesh. It has advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to resist being shoved or knocked prone.
