Magic Resistance
The Queen of Cats has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons
The Queen of Cats' weapon attacks are magical.
Pounce
If the Queen of Cats moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Rejuvenation
If she dies, the Queen of Cats' soul reforms on the Astral Plane. In 1d6 days, it inhabits the body of another cat on the Material Plane which becomes the Queen of Cats with all of the hp and abilities thereof. Only killing every cat on the Material Plane will prevent this trait from functioning.
Safe Fall
When she falls, the Queen of Cats lands on her feet and takes no damage.
Shapechanger
The Queen of Cats can use her action to polymorph into a Medium human woman, a Small cat, or back into her true Large, cat-headed humanoid form. Her statistics, other than her size, are the same in each form with the exception that only her cat and true forms retain her climbing speed. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying transforms with her.
Speak With Felines
The Queen of Cats can communicate with cats as if they shared a language.
Innate Spellcasting
The queen of cats's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring only verbal components:
- At will: dispel magic, invisibility (self only)
- 3/day each: counterspell, pass without trace
- 1/day each: maze
Actions
Multiattack
In human form, the Queen of Cats makes two moon strike attacks. In cat form or her true form, she makes three attacks. two with her claws or moon strike and one with her bite.
Bite (Cat or True Form Only)
Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage.
Claw (Cat or True Form Only)
Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) radiant damage.
Moon Strike
Ranged Spell Attack: +10 to hit, range 90 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d10) radiant damage.
The target must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or shed dim light in a 5-foot radius until the start of the Queen's next turn. As long as it glows, the target gains no benefit from being invisible, can't hide, and the next attack made against the target has advantage.
