H'Rethi, Soul of the Desert

+6

H'Rethi can't move or be moved by any means short of a wish spell.

H'rethi is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

When H'rethi fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

3/DAY

H'Rethi has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

When H'Rethi drops to 0 hit points, it shatters and is destroyed. Any creature on the ground within 30 feet of H'rethi must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) piercing damage and 22 (4d10) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

H'Rethi makes three Soul Ray attacks.

Ranged spell attack: +11 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (4d6) force damage plus 14 (4d6) radiant damage, and the target is pushed up to 10 feet away.

H'Rethi gains 50 temporary hit points, and all attack rolls made against it have disadvantage until the start of its next turn.

D5

When H'rethi takes damage from a spell to other magical effect, it instead takes no damage and regains a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt. H'Rethi is still subject to any other effects that might accompany the damage.

3/DAY

H'Rethi can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. H'rethi regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

3/TURN

A tendril-like whip rises from the ground, striking at one creature within 120 feet of H'Rethi. The target must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10 (3d6) slashing damage, and if it is Large or smaller, it is also grappled (escape DC 15). If the target is already grappled, it becomes restrained until the grapple ends.

H'Rethi creates a 5-foot-radius, 15-foot-high pillar of compacted sand in an unoccupied space it can see within 60 feet of it. When H'rethi uses its Multiattack on its turn, it can make one additional Soul Ray attack for each pillar that exists. Each of these additional attacks originates from a different pillar and only deals the force damage from the attack. The pillar is an object that can be damaged and thus destroyed. It has AC 15 and 30 hit points. Reducing the pillar to 0 hit points causes it to crumble to dust.

H'Rethi casts dispel magic. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma for this spell.

On Initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), H'Rethi takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; H'Rethi can't use the same effect two rounds in a row.

• H'Rethi conjures a sand elemental in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of it. The elemental disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or after 1 minute. The elemental is friendly to H'rethi and its companions. Roll initiative for the elemental, which has its own turns. It obeys any telepathic commands that H'Rethi issues to it (no action required by H'Rethi).

• H'Rethi unleashes a rippling wave of force through the ground. Each creature on the ground within 120 feet of H'rethi must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is pushed 30 feet away from H'rethi, and if it is concentrating, it must succeed on a DC 20 Consttituion saving throw or its concentration is broken. On a successful save, a creature is pushed 10 feet away from H'rethi but suffers no other effects.

• H'rethi begins to shine with an overwhelmingly brilliant light. Until initiative count 20 on the next round, whenever a creature starts its turn and can see H'rethi, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start of its next turn. A creature can evert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see H'rethi until the start of its next turn. If the creature look at H'rethi in the meantime, it must immediately make the same.
