Fog Feed

Trait
Construct Custom
Whenever the Husk takes cold or poison damage, it regains Hit Points equal to half the damage taken (rounded down).

Construct. Standard construct traits apply.

Guardian of the Bank

Trait
Unconscious Custom
If its assigned condenser bank is destroyed, the Husk shuts down for one round. It cannot take actions or reactions during this time.

Unconscious. The shut-down state functions similarly to being incapacitated and unaware.

Poisoned Condition
Constitution Saving Throw Rule
The Husk exhales a cloud of toxic fog in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) poison damage and becoming Poisoned for 1 minute on a failure, or half as much damage and no condition on a success. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
