Magic Resistance

The hraptnon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Undying

Unless the hraptnon's Stillborn Heart is removed from its pool, the hraptnon's death is temporary. One of its countless xakalonus offspring grows into the hraptnon in 24 hours.

In addition, the hraptnon loses its immunities if the Stillborn Heart is removed from the pool.

Actions

Multiattack

The hraptnon makes three melee attacks: one bite and two claws. Alternatively, the hraptnon can make two spine attacks.

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated until the end of the hraptnon's next turn.

Claws

Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (4d10 + 5) slashing damage.

Spine

Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target is knocked prone and restrained. The target must escape (DC 20) to remove the restrained condition and be able to stand.

"The magic our wizard used just bounced off the gigantic creature, and as our fighter slashed at it with her sword, the creature's blood spawned even more monsters."
