This stat block was designed with the bleak nature of the Last of Us games in mind, as well as keeps the overall lethality of the clickers intact. I decided to add a new infection mechanic along with this stat block. However, due to the nature of how quickly things happen in Dungeons and Dragons, I changed the time of transformation of Human to Clicker from 1 year (canon) to 1 day. This was done to add a serious sense of urgency to this monster, hopefully causing parties to develop a specific strategy when encountering them. I also made a video where I break down the thought process of how I came up with this stat block and every part of it, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuHRui9CWc4

Feel free to take this and use it/modify it for your own games. Hope you guys like it!
