Legendary Resistance (3/day). If the Leviathan fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Limited Magic Immunity. The Leviathan can’t be affected or detected by spells of 5th level or lower unless it wishes to be. It has advantage on saving throws against other spells and magical effects.

Aura of Entropy. The ground within 1000 feet of a Leviathan becomes infertile for 1d4 years. Additionally, creatures within 500 feet of it are affected by an otherworldly arcane radiation, taking 1 point of necrotic damage every minute they spend within that range. Whenever a creature loses hit points in this way, they are subtracted from their hit point maximum until they finish a long rest. Creatures with a constitution score of 20 or higher are immune to this effect.

Doom Incarnate. Creatures laying eyes on the Leviathan for the first time must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or become demoralized for 10 minutes. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the Leviathan is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the effect for the next 24 hours.

Caustic Storm. The Leviathan is surrounded by 5 miles of caustic storm, which slowly eats away at everything: vegetation, structures, and the very earth. Creatures that fail to cover their skin may take acid damage to the DM’s discretion, according to their level of exposition. After a few minutes, water sources are considered poisoned. After some hours, the foundations of buildings may begin to corrode and buckle under a weight they can no longer support.

While under the caustic storm, the Leviathan regenerates 30 hit points at the beginning of each of its turns, unless it has taken 30 or more fire damage in the previous round.

Lair of Dead Sky. The caustic storm is the Leviathan’s moving habitat, and it gives it access to certain special actions so long as the caustic storm remains in the sky. A creature casting the control weather spell may subdue the storm enough for the Leviathan to lose its benefits: every turn, they make a DC 20 spellcasting ability check, battling against the tainted skies. On a success, the storm dwindles until the end of their next turn. Three consecutive successes dispel the storm for 10 minutes.

Path of Ichor. The Leviathan leaves behind a trail of ichor. Pools form under its impossible weight, corrupting the land further and creating spawning pools for lesser aberrations. The Leviathan creates one spawning pool per 100 feet traveled from which other Deep One creatures (up to CR 5) can emerge. These spawning pools last for 1d4 days (provided that they are not in direct sunlight), and can generate up to five creatures before being consumed.

Otherwordly Kinship. Other Deep One creatures are not affected by the Caustic Storm feature. In addition, while under the storm, aberrations gain advantage on all saving throws and heal for 3d8 hit points per round, unless they have taken fire damage in the previous round.

Siege Monster. The Leviathan deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Multiattack. The Leviathan makes three tentacle attacks and one void maw attack. It can also choose to use its Noxious Vapors.

Noxious Vapors. The Leviathan overheats its body, vaporizing some of the ichor that covers its enormous figure, dealing 35 fire damage to itself and casting an enormous cloud of corrosive fog in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on itself. When a creature enters the effect’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 5d8 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The Leviathan can have more than one cloud active at a time, each dealing its damage separately. A cloud of Noxious Vapors lasts for 5 rounds of combat, or thirty seconds, before becoming too dispersed to be damaging.

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage and 13 (2d12) acid damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be grappled. A creature may attempt to escape the grapple by using its action to attempt a DC 20 Strength saving throw on their turn. Dealing 50 damage to a tentacle makes it drop whoever it had been carrying. The Leviathan can grapple up to three medium creatures (or one large creature) with a tentacle and possesses at least eight tentacles that can grapple (to the DM’s discretion).

Void Maw. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 20ft., up to three targets within 10 feet of each other. Hit: 23 (2d12 + 10) piercing damage and 13 (2d12) acid damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 23). If the Leviathan has other creatures grappled in this way when using this attack, they can attempt a DC 15 Dexterity (acrobatics) check to escape the grapple as the monster opens its mouth to bite again.

Legendary Actions

The Leviathan can take three 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. The Leviathan regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Tentacle. The Leviathan makes one tentacle attack.

Death Lightning (Costs 2 Actions). The Leviathan summons three dark bolts of lightning and acid, each of which can strike a target the Leviathan can see within 120 feet of it. A target must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (3d10) lightning damage and 17 (3d10) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the target immediately fails a death saving throw.

This action cannot be used if the caustic storm is subdued, as described in the Leviathan’s Lair of Dead Sky feature.

Gulp (Costs 2 Actions). The Leviathan attempts to gulp down all creatures it has grappled by means of its Void Maw attack. They must succeed on a DC 20 strength saving throw or be swallowed. While swallowed, creatures are blinded and restrained, and have total cover against attacks and other effects outside the Leviathan, and they take 35 (10d6) force damage at the start of each of the Leviathan’s turns. If the Leviathan takes 60 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, it must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the Leviathan. If the Leviathan dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Eldritch Disruption (Costs 3 Actions). The Leviathan emits a powerful sound from its orifices, sending a wave of energy that deactivates all ongoing magical effects of 6th level or lower within 60 feet of itself.

Leviathan Variant

A Leviathan is a unique creature. Each is created with a singular form and a particular adaptation called a Leviathan Variant. The following are some possible mutations a Leviathan could possess that make it distinct from other world-ending threats.

The Bane

“When the thing started marching towards Selem, even the most hopeful of stormwalkers knew they were defeated. Some even dropped dead before the creature had reached the damn walls.”

Trait: Incarnation of the Great Beyond. The area affected by the Leviathan’s Caustic Storm ability is increased to 10 miles. In addition, creatures within 120 feet of the Levithan suffer 10 (1d8 + 5) psychic damage even if they are not directly exposed to the storm.

Action: Frightful Presence. The Leviathan’s form is so terrible it frightens even the firmest of defenders. Each creature of the Leviathan’s choice within 120 feet of it and aware of it must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the Leviathan is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Leviathan’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Legendary Action: Drain Hope. The Leviathan chooses a creature within 300 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn. Creatures that fail this saving throw are demoralized for 1 minute. If already demoralized, the creature suffers 6d6 psychic damage.

The Stygian

“We were lost, without Alathai. I think only her could have faced Stygius. The Leviathan harbored within its terrible form the power to destroy the very skies.”

Trait: Primordial Strength. The Leviathan’s Strength score increased to 32 (+11). In addition, creatures grappled by the Leviathan take 18 (3d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of their turns.

Action: Atomic Breath (Recharge 5-6). The Leviathan takes an action to charge this attack. It may act using its other features and abilities while charging, but can’t move. At the start of its next turn, it automatically spends its action to spew a laser of concentrated force energy forming a line 1000 feet long and 35 feet wide. Each creature in the line must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 25d6 lightning damage and 25d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This breath attack disintegrates any creature or object in the area that it reduces to 0 hit points.

Legendary Action: Move. The Leviathan moves up to half its speed.

The Seraph

“Deep within the marsh, ancient writings in long abandoned ruins tell of a doom yet to come. A creature bound to the skies, destined to devour the sun and plunge the world in eternal darkness.”

Trait: Flying Doom. The Leviathan gains a flying speed of 80 feet. Its tentacle attacks now have a reach of 120 feet.

Action: Rain of Ichor. The Leviathan produces a rain of concentrated ichor directly beneath itself in a 60-foot-radius sphere. Each creature within the area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 10d6 acid damage and 10d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails this saving throw must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be afflicted by the Black Touch sickness. Creatures that find cover from the rain are not affected by this attack.

Legendary Action: Profound Darkness. The Leviathan generates a cloud of magical darkness in a point within 120 feet that fills a 30-foot-radius sphere. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it. The cloud lasts for an hour. The Leviathan can have up to ten clouds of darkness active at a time. The clouds are dispelled if they are ever further than 300 feet of the leviathan.

---

DM’s Note: You are welcomed to create your own Leviathan Variant! Try to think of an Action, a Trait, and a Legendary Action. This creature is meant to be the final boss of a campaign! Don’t limit yourself by the pitiful precedent of the other CR 30 monster we all know. Keep in mind you can always just use the regular stat sheet, without a Variant, if you think the creature is too powerful.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Greatwyrm Yharel fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Arcane Stasis. Spells cast within 120 feet of Greatwyrm Yharel have a chance of failing automatically, due to its oppressive aura of primeval frost.

Creatures attempting to cast a spell must succeed on a spellcasting ability check with a DC of 25 minus the level of the spell they are trying to cast. On a failure, the spell fails as if nullified by counterspell.

Scales of Ice and Death. Yharel’s demi-divinity has fortified its scales to a near impenetrable state. When Yharel is targeted by a direct melee attack, non-magical weapons shatter upon impact and magical weapons receive a temporary -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls until the end of the wielder’s next turn. If targeted by natural weapons, the attacker suffers 4d6 cold damage instead.

Entombing Permafrost. At the start of each of Yharel’s turns, the ground in a 30-foot radius around it becomes covered in a sheet of uneven, treacherous ice. This area becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than Yharel. Any creature that starts its turn on this ice or enters it for the first time on a turn must succeed on a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.

Additionally, creatures that start their turn prone against the entombing permafrost are slowly swallowed by the burgeoning sheets of elemental ice. They must succeed on a DC 26 Strength saving throw or be grappled by the ice (escape DC 26), taking 4d6 cold damage each time they end their turn grappled in this way.

Thermal Death When a creature within 120ft. of Greatwyrm Yharel dies as a result of a congelation effect, it regains hitpoints equal to four times the character level (or CR) of the creature that died.

Innate Spellcasting. As the Wielder of Stasis, Greatwyrm Yharel can cast the following spells, requiring no material components and using Resolve as its spellcasting ability (spell save DC 26, +18 to hit with spell attacks).

At will (3rd level upcast): Ice Gale, Frostbolt, Absolute Zero, Sleet Storm.

3/day each (5th level upcast): Cone of Cold, Ice Storm.

1/day each: Glacial Ward (7th level version), Stasis Storm.

Actions

Multiattack. Greatwyrm Yharel makes two attacks with its Claws, and one with its Winter’s Maw. It then uses either Soulfrost Wail, Stasis Gale, or casts a spell from its Innate Spellcasting feature.

Winter’s Maw. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 36 (4d12 + 10) piercing damage and 26 (4d12) cold damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 26 Constitution saving throw or become vulnerable to cold damage until the end of its next turn. If they are resistant or immune to cold damage, they lose one layer of protection: immune creatures become resistant, and resistant creatures lose their resistance but are not made vulnerable.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage and 13 (2d12) cold damage.

Stasis Gale (recharge 4-6). Greatwyrm Yharel bats its enormous, frozen wings, generating a current of magical cold in a 120ft. long, 20ft. wide line in front of it. Creatures within that area must make a DC 26 Constitution saving throw, taking 70 (20d6) cold damage and becoming frostbitten for one minute on a failed save. On a successful save, they take half damage and are not frostbitten.

If a target is already frostbitten and fails the saving throw, they become frozen for one minute instead.

Soulfrost Wail (3/day). Greatwyrm Yharel screeches out a word of primeval stasis directed at a creature it can see within 120 feet of it, who must make a Resolve contest against Yharel. If the Greatwyrm prevails, the creature is soul-chilled. If they are already soul-chilled, they are death frosted instead. If the creature prevails, Yharel can only use one legendary action until they refresh at the start of its next turn.

Reactions

Subzero Snap. When a creature within 120ft of it deals fire damage to Yharel, it can, as a reflex, release a pulse of intense cold. The creature that dealt the damage must make a DC 26 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed by the chilling shock until the end of their next turn.

Grasping Stalagmites. When a creature within 15 feet of Yharel tries to move out of his reach, it can attempt to seize them with tendrils of frost that shoot from the ground. The creature must succeed on a DC 26 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (their choice) or be restrained. They can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, breaking free on a success.

Legendary Actions

Greatwyrm Yharel can take three 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. Yharel regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Stasis Spell. Greatwyrm Yharel casts one spell from its Innate Spellcasting feature.

Bludgeoning Onslaught. Greatwyrm Yharel moves up to half its speed, violently trampling objects and creatures in its way, dealing 70 (20d6) bludgeoning damage, doubled against non-reinforced structures.

Creatures caught in its path can use their reaction make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw to move out of the way, being unaffected by Yharel’s onslaught on a success.

Turn Tail. Greatwyrm Yharel turns 180 degrees, raising a thick cloud of powdered ice and snow with his colossal tail. Creatures within 20 feet of Yharel must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or take 44 (8d10) bludgeoning damage as they are hit by it. Additionally, creatures within 40 feet of Yharel when it uses this action are caught by the rising frost and must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Munch Foe (costs 2 actions). Greatwyrm Yharel uses its Winter’s Maw action.

Flight of Killing Frost (Costs 3 Actions). Greatwyrm Yharel takes to the skies, followed by the legendary Death Frost. It moves 120ft in a straight line. Creatures it passes over must succeed on a DC 20 Resolve saving throw or be Death Frosted.

Lair Actions

Lair Actions take effect at initiative count 20, losing ties. Yharel chooses two options from those outlined below, and cannot use the same combination next round.

Yharel can only use these actions while within his palace of ice in the Soulfrost Depths.

Realm of Stillness. Time itself is not impervious to the ancestral stasis exuded by Greatwyrm Yharel, and creatures attempting to overthrow it bear the brunt of this disruption. At the start of each round, creatures within 60 feet of Greatwyrm Yharel must succeed on a DC 26 Resolve (or Wisdom) saving throw or have their initiative lowered by 4, potentially demoting them from the turn order.

Creatures who reach negative initiative through this effect lose their next turn and must roll initiative again.

Ice Pillars. Up to three icicle-like formations shoot up from the ground, acting as difficult terrain and potentially impaling creatures. The icicles are considered huge objects (15x15ft.). Creatures within their area when they appear must make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 bludgeoning damage and 4d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Cryogenesis. Ice elementals spawn at different points within 60 feet of Yharel, aiding the Greatwyrm in battle. Roll 1d4 twice against the following list to determine which creatures are spawned:

1: Four Iceborn Beasts.

2: Two Iceborn Nymphs.

3: One Iceborn Horror.

4: One Forlorn Draugr.

These cryogenic creatures are formidable, but they lack the physical and elemental stability of their trueborn counterparts. If they take 15 or more fire damage from a single attack or magical effect, they instantly vaporize in a burst of frozen mist.

Creatures might be able to spot this magical instability with a successful DC 18 perception check.

Glacial Divide. With a roar, Yharel causes walls of thick ice to rise from the ground, creating barriers. It can create up to three walls, each being up to 20 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. These walls last until Yharel uses this lair action again or until destroyed. Each wall has AC 12, 30 hit points, vulnerability to bludgeoning damage, and immunity to cold, psychic and poison damage.

If a wall is reduced to 0 hit points, it shatters, causing shards of sharp ice to scatter. Creatures within 10 feet of an ice barrier when it shatters must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 17 (3d10) piercing damage.

Frozen Echoes Ghostly wyrm-like apparitions of frozen mist, mirroring Greatwyrm Yharel’s ancient siblings, emerge from icy surfaces within the lair. Yharel can target up to three creatures it can see. Each target must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be convinced that they are fighting multiple dragons, imparting disadvantage on their attacks and ability checks for the next round due to the overwhelming fear and confusion.

Regional Effects

Forsaken Depths. The area within 6 miles of Yharel’s lair is in a perpetual state of unendurable stasis. The control weather spell can lower this to a state of biting frost in a 1 mile radius around the caster.

Frozen Memories. Creatures within 1 mile of the lair occasionally experience glimpses of Yharel’s traumatic past: the death of Ysgar the Blessed being the most common of these visions, but also remembrances of the brutal, bloody battles of the Final Ascent.

Temporal Stasis. Time is partially frozen within 6 miles of Yharel’s lair: creatures don’t age, and the only thing that seems to move is the frozen brume that covers the entirety of Hestra.

There aren’t even blizzards here – an eerie tranquility is draped over the region, only disturbed by the dormant grumbling of Greatwyrm Yharel itself, and the methodical march of its elemental worshipers.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Agnar fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Greater Magic Immunity. Agnar can’t be affected or detected by spells 7th level or lower unless he wishes to be. He has advantage on saving throws against other spells and magical effects.

Thread of Divinity. Agnar possesses a Thread of Divinity, a remnant of gods long past. In the event of his death, the Thread will gently float above his corpse, ready for another to claim. If they attempt to claim it, they must first succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or suffer 20d10 force damage. Then, they must convince the Thread of Might to attune to them, and vow to protect it from those who want to destroy it. A creature that claims a Thread of Divinity becomes an ascended being of CR 26 or higher.

Might Incarnate. Creatures of Agnar’s choice within 30 feet of him must succeed on a DC 25 Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw (the target’s choice) or be reduced to 0 hit points. A creature that succeeds this saving throw becomes immune to this ability for the next 24 hours.

Additionally, Agnar can replace the result of any Strength-based roll with his Strength score.

Reckless. When Agnar makes his first attack in a turn, he can choose to give advantage to all his attacks using Strength for the turn. When he does so, all attacks against him have advantage until the start of his next turn.

Presence of Flame. Agnar sheds bright light in a 120-foot radius and dim light in an additional 240 feet. His presence is enough to melt away his enemies and protect his allies. Agnar can grant fire immunity to creatures of his choice within 60 feet of him.

If Agnar is below 250 hit points, he ignites himself in a mighty rage. All creatures of his choice within 60 feet suffer 35 (10d6) fire damage and 35 (10d6) radiant damage at the end of his turn. Creatures damaged by this feature catch fire; until someone takes an action to douse the fire, a creature takes 12 (2d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Innate Spellcasting. Agnar’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 25). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: counterspell, immolate, fireball

3/day each: blade barrier, fire storm, resurrection

1/day each: power word: stun, control weather

Actions

Multiattack. Agnar makes two unarmed strikes. He can replace either of them with a Radiant Smite.

Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage plus 17 (5d6) radiant damage and 17 (5d6) fire damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of their next turn.

Agnar can choose to give each of his unarmed strikes an additional effect, choosing from the options below:

Knock. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 25 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Push. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 25 Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet back.

Grapple. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 25).

Radiant Smite. Agnar calls down a radiant beam of light unto a target he can see within 120 feet of him. The target must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. On a failed save, the target also gains one random damage vulnerability from the following list (roll 1d6 to determine which): acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder.

Supernova (recharge 5-6). Agnar manifests a gravitational singularity through sheer force of will. Creatures within 120 feet of him must succeed on a DC 25 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 60 feet closer to him, ending up prone.

At the start of his next turn, all creatures within 30 feet of Agnar must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw, taking 70 (20d6) fire damage plus 70 (20d6) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Creatures reduced to 0 hit points by this ability are disintegrated into a pile of golden dust.

When Agnar is reduced to 250 hit points, this ability automatically recharges and triggers on his next turn.

Legendary Actions

Agnar can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Agnar regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Strike. Agnar makes an Unarmed Strike.

Flamecall. Agnar casts Immolate or Fireball.

Apparate (Costs 2 Actions). Agnar teleports to an unoccupied space he can see within 120 feet.

Radiant Smite (Costs 2 Actions). Agnar uses his Radiant Smite action.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Nemesis fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Greater Magic Immunity. Nemesis can’t be affected or detected by spells of 7th level or lower unless she wishes to be. She has advantage on saving throws against other spells and magical effects.

Thread of Divinity. Nemesis possesses a Thread of Divinity, a remnant of gods long gone. In the event of her death, the Thread will gently float above her corpse, ready for another to claim. If they attempt to claim it, they must first succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or suffer 20d10 force damage. Then, they must convince the Thread of Dusk to attune to them, and vow to protect it from those who want to destroy it. A creature that claims a Thread of Divinity becomes an ascended being of CR 26 or higher.

Wielder of Dusk. Nemesis is attuned to the Thread of Dusk and embodies its values. She represents night, endings, and sleep. Let the Night take you into a peaceful slumber.

A profound darkness surrounds Nemesis. She can extend these shadows up to 200 feet in all directions. This magical darkness extinguishes all light. A creature that enters the dark for the first time must make a DC 28 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are blinded, deafened, incapacitated, and frightened for as long as they remain within the darkness. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature becomes immune to this feature for the next 24 hours.

A creature within 30 feet of the Ring of Repentance automatically succeeds its save against this effect. Too bad Nemesis took it.

Presence of Night. Nemesis is darkness incarnate. Her mere presence can snuff out the fire within a hero’s very soul.

If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of Nemesis, they must make a death saving throw, regardless of their current hit points. On a failure, that death save is permanently crossed for the next hour. If a creature has three death saves crossed, they immediately die, regardless of their current hit points.

In addition, unconscious creatures within 30 feet of Nemesis die at the start of Nemesis’ turn. A creature that dies within 30 feet of Nemesis has its soul trapped by the goddess, and they cannot be revived in any way until Nemesis is defeated.

Innate Spellcasting. Nemesis’ spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 27, +19 to hit with spell attacks). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Darius fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Limited Magic Immunity. Darius can’t be affected or detected by spells of 5th level or lower unless he wishes to be. He has advantage on saving throws against other spells and magical effects.

Thread of Divinity. Darius possesses a Thread of Divinity, a remnant of gods long past. In the event of his death, the Thread will gently float above his corpse, ready for another to claim. Only the creature that dealt the final blow to Darius may claim the Thread. If they attempt to claim it, they must first succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or suffer 20d10 force damage. Then, they must convince the Thread of Anarchy to attune to them, and vow to protect it from those who want to destroy it–along with all remnants of the gods. A creature that claims a Thread of Divinity becomes an Ascended Being of CR 26 or higher, depending on their previous level of power.

Unendurable Presence. Darius is no longer a mere starfolk, and his command over the forces of reality goes far beyond gravity. That which he wishes undone simply… disappears.

Creatures within 30 feet of Darius’ choice that are below CR 7, or 7th level if they’re player characters, are instantly disintegrated (no action required). When creatures of CR 7 / 7th level or higher are targeted by this ability, they must make a Charisma saving throw with a DC of 30 minus their character level / CR (minimum DC of 10). On a success, they take 2d12 force damage. On a failure, they are disintegrated.

Innate Spellcasting. Darius’ spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 28). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: counterspell, energy feedback, cause arrhythmia, greater invisibility, pulverizing radiance

3/day each: plane shift, dominate monster, heal, teleport, power word: penance

1/day each: time stop, power word: stun, power word: kill

Wielder of Anarchy. Darius is attuned to the Thread of Anarchy, and embodies its values. The very rules of the universe have a tendency to crumble around him. At the start of a combat round, roll a d6. An effect persists until a new one is selected. If the same effect is rolled twice in a row, the effect is dispelled and the round carries on without the influence of Anarchy.

Roll	Effect
1	All rolls made within 120 feet of Darius are inverted as soon as they are rolled. A natural 1 becomes a natural 20, a 19 becomes a 2, and so on and so forth. Darius’ own rolls are also affected, but he may choose which result to keep between the two.
2	Spells cast within 60 feet of Darius now expend a spell slot two levels higher than their original slot. A magic missile spell expends a 3rd level slot, while a Greater Invisibility spell expends a 7th level slot. Spells of 8th and 9th level cannot be cast. Darius is unaffected by this.
3	Creatures fighting Darius roll a d6, and are placed on the Initiative order according to their result (Dexterity breaking any ties). Darius can choose to go first or last.
4	Creatures within 90 feet of Darius lose their action but gain an additional bonus action on their turn.
5	Darius breaks the fourth wall and shuffles everyone’s character sheets. All players must now play a different character until this effect has passed.
6	Creatures fighting Darius stop and reflect upon their actions. Everyone in the Initiative order skips their turn, except for Darius. He is a gentlemen though, and will also skip his turn if he is not in mortal danger. He will instead take the opportunity to start a conversation and lecture his enemies on the merits of anarchy and the abuses of power created by hierarchies.

Actions

Multiattack. Darius makes four attacks: two with his wings (he may choose between Divine Featherthrow and Wing Bash) and two with its claws.

Divine Featherthrow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 900 ft., one target. Hit 23 (4d6 + 9) piercing plus 25 (4d6 + 11) radiant damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 26 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn.

Wing Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage plus 25 (4d6 + 11) radiant damage. A creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 26 Strength saving throw or be knocked 30 feet away from Darius.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 30 (6d6 + 9) slashing damage plus 25 (4d6 + 11) radiant damage.

Starfall (recharge 4-6). Darius teleports a falling star from the Plains into the battlefield, letting it crash onto his enemies. The star explodes in a point Darius can see within a mile. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on the point must make a DC 28 Dexterity saving throw. The sphere spreads around corners. A creature takes 20d6 radiant damage and 20d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. All creatures damaged by the Starfall are Irradiated for 3 rounds.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). When Davyr fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Matrix Mind. Davyr’s mind, bound to a construct of living metal, is still very much alive and constantly computing. He cannot be charmed, frightened, or put to sleep by magical means. Additionally, any attempt to read his thoughts or emotions, or to communicate with him telepathically, causes the creature attempting such a connection to take 21 (6d6) psychic damage.

Eminent Metal. Davyr’s body is imbued with ten Eminent Wisps, which he has collected over the course of his tenure as Keep Maester and impulse dealer. They travel his form slowly, gleaming as they travel through the living metal. Depending on how many Wisps remain with him, he gains the following traits:

10 Wisps: The Living Metal’s already impressive self-repairing qualities are boosted. Davyr regains 25 hitpoints at the start of each of his turns.

7 Wisps: The inherently arcane properties of Eminent Energy shield Davyr from magical assault. Spells of 5th level or lower that target him are automatically dispelled upon contact, and he has advantage on rolls to resist other spells and magical effects.

5 Wisps: The Eminent Energy forms a mighty ward across Davyr’s body, making him immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.

3 Wisps: The Eminent Energy grants Davyr truesight out to a range of 90 feet. Being below four Wisps has negative effects on Davyr’s mind, giving him vulnerability to psychic damage.

1 Wisp: One Wisp is barely enough to sustain Davyr’s eminence-dependent construct form. His flying speed is slashed in half, and he cannot perform attacks that require recharge. If he loses his last Wisp, Davyr gains one point of exhaustion per round until he dies.

Limitless Caster. Davyr can cast the following spells requiring no material components. His spellcasting ability for them is Intelligence (spell save DC 26, +18 to hit with spell attacks).

At will: Starfire, Dimension Door, Fabricate, Resilient Sphere

3/day each: Cosmic Singularity, Disintegrate, Reverse Gravity, Counterspell

1/day each: Nebula, Meteor Swarm

Consumes Three Wisps: Wish

Eminent Forbiddance. At the start of each of his turns, Davyr can choose one school of magic to forbid. Creatures within 120 feet of him (including himself) must succeed on a DC 25 spellcasting ability when they attempt to cast a spell of that school. On a failure, the spell fails and the slot and action it was casted with are wasted.

Experienced casters can feel the forbiddance take effect when it is cast.

Actions

Multiattack Davyr makes three attacks with his Unendurable Grasp or Wrist Flare. Alternatively, he can make one attaack and use his Double Eye Beam, if available.

Unendurable Grasp. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 5ft., one large or smaller target. Hit 17 (3d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage and 11 (2d10) force damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 23). Davyr can have only one creature grappled in this way.

Wrist Flare. Ranged Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, range 240/480ft., one target. Hit 21 (2d10 + 10) fire damage and 11 (2d10) force damage.

Double Eye Beam (recharge 4-6). Davyr fires dual beams of force in a 60 foot long, 10 foot wide line in front of him. Creatures within that area must make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage, 21 (6d6) radiant damage and 21 (6d6) force damage and on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Transmogrify Item (Costs One Wisp). Davyr targets one magical item he can see within 30 feet of him, turning it into a nonmagical rubber version of itself. If a creature is attuned to the item, they can attempt a DC 26 Charisma saving throw to resist this effect. The transformation lasts for one minute.

Legendary Resistance (5/day). When Pride fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Yokai Scent. Within a mile, the Yokai can follow the trace of a creature it has learned the scent of. It also detects the presence of other Yokai.

Ethereal Creature. Pride can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. In addition, Pride can cast Greater Invisibility on itself at will and his attacks are considered to be magical.

Limited Magic Immunity. Pride can’t be affected by spells of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be. It has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects.

Armor of Spite. Pride becomes immune to the last type of elemental damage (fire, cold, acid, lightning, thunder) that he took. This immunity changes every time he takes a different type of damage.

In addition, Pride cannot take more than 100 points of damage in a single turn. Any damage above this limit is nulled as the Emperor’s armor shines with a golden light until the start of his next turn.

A Will Beyond Fate. Pride has chosen an impossible path and prevailed. His will has become so powerful it bends reality. He can use his bonus action to utter one of the following commands. A creature cannot be affected by more than one command per round of combat.

Attack: A single creature of Pride’s choice that can hear him within 90 feet immediately uses its reaction to take an attack of opportunity against a creature of Pride’s choice within range.

Kneel: A single creature of Pride’s choice that can hear him within 120 feet must stop dead in their tracks and fall prone. Their speed becomes 0 and they cannot move of their own volition until the end of their next turn.

Break: A Large or smaller non-magical object within 30 feet of Pride breaks irreparably. A sword is cut in half, an armor falls apart, a shield turns to splinters.

Fall: A single large or smaller creature of Pride’s choice is flung 60 feet in a direction of Pride’s choosing.

Suffer: A single creature of Pride’s choice that can hear him within 30 feet suffers 5d10 force damage.

Innate Spellcasting. Pride’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 27). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

3/day each: plane shift, dominate monster, heal, teleport, echo of leung

1/day each: time stop, power word: stun, power word: kill, reflective scales

Actions

Multiattack Pride makes three attacks with his Unarmed Strikes. Alternatively, he can make one attack and use his Degrade Power ability, if available.

Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage plus 17 (5d6) necrotic damage and 17 (5d6) radiant damage.

Pride can choose to give each of his unarmed strikes an additional effect, choosing from the options below:

Knock. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 27 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Push. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 27 Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet back.

Grapple. A creature hit by this attack must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 27).

Degrade Power (Recharge 5-6). Pride points to a creature within 60 feet and degrades them. A creature must succeed on a DC 27 Charisma saving throw or lose all class features gained in the last three levels. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Legendary Actions

Pride can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Pride regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Strike. Pride makes an Unarmed Strike.

Command. Pride uses a command from A Will Beyond Fate.

Apparate (Costs 2 Actions). Pride teleports to an unoccupied space he can see within 120 feet.

Degrade Power (Costs 2 Actions). Pride uses his Degrade Power action.

Thread of Dominion (Costs 3 Actions). Pride shapes reality itself, gaining power over 1-cubic mile of inanimate material around him. With it, he can do as he pleases; he can create castles from rubble, turn water into lava, tear down a city. With this ability, he can cause the following spells to occur naturally: Meteor Swarm, Earthquake, Control Weather, Tsunami. Any save provoked by this ability has a DC of 20.

Most things this ability is able to do will take more than a single round to complete. A castle cannot be erected in six seconds! As such, if Pride is creating an original effect, he must concentrate on this ability and cannot take other actions.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If the Inkfather fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Greater Magic Immunity. The Inkfather can’t be affected or detected by spells 7th level or lower unless he wishes to be. He has advantage on saving throws against other spells and magical effects.

Shadow of a God. The Inkfather was once the mighty Odin, God of War and Death, Allfather to the Aesir pantheon. The ichorous corruption, however, has left him a shadow of his former self. His physical scores have deteriorated and his mind has been addled by the maddening curse ever since he was first bound to the throne. He is, however, the host of ink, and all the nightmares that haunt Midgard are his doing. In the event of his death, all creatures that have been spawned by him will slowly melt away and dissipate over the course of 1d4 days.

Though he is not in his best shape, Odin is still a God of old, veteran of Ragnarök, and first to act against the Enemy. He has a proficiency bonus of +10 and truesight out to 240 ft.

Thread of War. Odin carries a shard of the Thread of War. In the event of his death, it will gently float above his corpse, ready for another to claim. A creature that attempts to claim it must succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or take 110 (20d10) force damage. Then, they must convince the Thread of War to attune to them, and vow to protect it from those who wish to destroy it. A creature that claims a Thread of Divinity becomes an ascended being of CR 26 or higher.

Bound to the Throne. The Inkfather cannot move, as he is chained to the throne, forced to endure his madness for eternity. The throne itself is what protects him from harm. He is immune to all conditions that would displace or restrain him in any way. In addition, the Inkfather uses the Throne’s hit points and Constitution score.

Ink Domain. The Inkfather can use most of his abilities in a 120-foot radius sphere centered on himself, which coincides with the chamber he is bound to. Within this area, creatures of the Inkfather’s choice take 13 (3d8) unmitigable necrotic damage at the start of their turns, unless they are immune to the black touch sickness.

Geri and Freki. The Inkfather does his bidding through his animal familiars. Geri and Freki, his two loyal wolves, are large creatures of ink that share the Inkfather’s statistics, except they have an AC of 18, a Dexterity score of 22, and 78 hit points. If they are killed, Odin cannot use their abilities until they reform. If not summoned back, they respawn at the Inkfather’s side after a minute.

Huginn and Muninn. The Inkfather does his bidding through his animal familiars. Huginn and Muninn, his two watchful ravens, are tiny creatures of ink that share the Inkfather’s statistics, except they have an AC of 22, a Dexterity score of 22, and 28 hit points. If they are killed, Odin cannot use their abilities until they reform. If not summoned back, they respawn at the Inkfather’s side after a minute.

Innate Spellcasting. The Inkfather’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 28, +20 to hit with spell attacks). He can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: scrying, clairvoyance, counterspell

3/day each: dominate person, wall of force, harm (with a range of 120 ft.)

1/day each: power word: stun, power word: kill, time stop

Actions

Multiattack. The Inkfather uses the throne’s maddening presence. He then commands Geri and Freki. He can also use his Mournful Wail, if available.

Maddening Presence. Each creature of the Inkfather’s choice that is within the Ink Domain must succeed on a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw or gain a random effect from the short-term madness table (5e SRD). A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Inkfather’s Maddening Presence for the next 24 hours.

Geri. Geri teleports to an unoccupied place within the Ink Domain and makes three attacks: two with its claws and one with its bite.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: + 16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 11 (3d6) necrotic damage.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: + 16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) piercing damage plus 22 (6d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 24 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Freki. Freki teleports to an unoccupied place within the Ink Domain, uses his Mending Howl, and casts one of the following spells: haste, lightning bolt, blight, hypnotic pattern or sleet storm.

Mending Howl. Freki lets out a mending Howl. Freki and the Inkfather recover 27 (6d8) hit points.

Paint Familiar. The Inkfather remakes one of his wolves or both his ravens. The ink creature spawns in an unoccupied space within the Ink Domain.

Mournful Wail (recharge 5-6). The Inkfather cries out in pain. His sorrow is unbearable. All creatures within the Ink Domain that can hear him must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or take 35 (10d6) psychic damage. Every time the Inkfather uses this ability before finishing a long rest, its next mournful wail deals an additional 18 (5d6) psychic damage.

Legendary Actions

The Inkfather can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The Inkfather regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Huginn. Huginn flies 60 feet and uses either its neurotoxic beak or its metamorphosis.

Neurotoxic Beak Melee Weapon Attack: + 16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) piercing damage plus 22 (6d6) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 24 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated until the end of its next turn.

Metamorphosis. Huginn transforms into an Ink-forged or aberration of CR 5 or lower. This transformation is permanent, and Huginn must be summoned once more by the Inkfather.

Muninn. Huginn flies 60 feet and uses either its necrotic bolt or its end magic.

Necrotic Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +20 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (6d8) necrotic damage.

End Magic. Huginn ends an ongoing magical effect of 5th level or lower it can see within 60 feet. It can choose to end a creature’s concentration on a spell instead. A creature targeted in this way must succeed on a DC 24 Constitution saving throw or lose concentration.

Command Wolf (Costs 2 Actions). The Inkfather commands one of his wolves to act.

Mark of the Inkfather (Costs 2 Actions). A creature within the Ink Domain that the Inkfather can see must succeed on a DC 28 Charisma saving throw or become vulnerable to necrotic damage until the start of the Inkfather’s next turn.

Paint Familiar (Costs 3 Actions). The Inkfather uses his Paint Familiar action.

Paint Greater Ink-forged (Costs 3 Actions). The Inkfather spawns an Ink-forged of CR 11 or lower in an unoccupied space within the Ink Domain.

Create Nightmare (Costs 3 Actions) (1/day) The Inkfather’s throne manifests the power of madness and calls upon a creature from nightmares. A Faceless Angel appears in an unoccupied space within the Ink Domain.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). When the Darkspawn Abomination fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. The Darkspawn Abomination has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Dark Necrosis. The Darkspawn Abomination deals a special type of damage called dark damage, a variant of necrotic damage that is more deeply suffused with negative energy. This damage is extremely difficult to resist, and impossible to avoid altogether. Only those with immunity to necrotic damage are resistant to dark damage.

Monstrous Physiognomy. The Darkspawn Abomination doesn’t need air, food or water to subsist.

Siege Monster. The Darkspawn Abomination deals double damage to objects and structures.

Greater Dark Fae. The Darkspawn Abomination cannot be magically charmed, frightened or put to sleep. Additionally, it is immune to all enchantment and illusion spells.

Soul Singularity. When a creature of CR 3 / Character Level 3 or higher dies within 1 mile of the Darkspawn Abomination, its soul is absorbed and added to the torrent of negative energy that writhes within it. The amount of souls it has absorbed grants additional damage, range and effectivity to its Promised Demise trait.

Promised Demise. One minute after the Darkspawn Abomination dies, a gargantuan burst of pure negative energy centered on its corpse manifests to obliterate everything in the vicinity. Creatures and objects within 10 miles are caught in the blast, taking 130 (20d12) dark damage, which can be halved on a successful DC 20 Constitution saving throw.

For every ten souls the Darkspawn Abomination absorbs, the damage of this blast increases by 1d12, up to a maximum of 70d12, and its range by 1 mile, up to a maximum of 60 miles. For every hundred souls, the DC of the Constitution saving throw increases by 1, up to a maximum of 25.

Ixion’s Core. The Promised Demise trait can be nullified by a Wish spell or similar reality-altering high level magic. Another way is to remove the artifact that functions as the Abomination’s connection to the negative energy plane.

Ixion’s core was made by combining Ixion’s own soul and body with a shard of the Crown of the Dryads, which resulted in an artifact that could draw negative energy straight from its universal source. If it is removed, it will explode (as per the Promised Demise trait) unless it is stabilized by purging Ixion’s spirit from the artifact by using a remove curse, greater restoration or similar magic expending a spell slot of 7th level or higher.

Legendary Resistance (3/day). When the God in the Deep fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Unnatural Existence. The God in the Deep doesn’t require air, food or water to sustain itself.

Indescriptible Horror. Creatures who look upon the form of a God in the Deep are struck by existential dread. Any creature (except Aberrations) that starts its turn within 120 feet of the God in the Deep and can see it must make a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is Frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the God in the Deep is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success.

If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the God in the Deep’s Indescriptible Horror for the next 24 hours. Unless the target is surprised or the revelation of the God in the Deep’s true form is sudden, the target can avert its eyes and avoid making the initial saving throw. Until the start of its next turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on Attack rolls against the God in the Deep.

Anathema to Reality. The God in the Deep’s attacks deal an additional 14 (4d6) psychic damage to creatures that aren’t Aberrations.

Far Realm Toxin. The God in the Deep is coated in a strange otherworldly toxin. Creatures that touch it or hit it with an attack while within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or take 11 (2d10) poison damage be cosmically intoxicated. While cosmically intoxicated, a creature has eerie visions of distant nebulae and eldritch monsters. They cannot see anything beyond 10 feet and have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. A cosmically intoxicated creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Aberrant Arcana. The God in the Deep’s spells are shrouded in unnatural power, making them especially difficult to counteract. All of its spells are considered 9th level spells for the purposes of counterspell and dispel magic. They do not scale their damage, duration or effects in that way, however.

Innate Spellcasting. The God in the Deep can cast the following spells innately, without expending material components. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 25, +17 to hit with spell attacks).

At will: lightning bolt, hypnotic pattern, black tentacles

3/day each: disintegrate, regenerate, forcecage

1/day each: power word kill, dominate monster

Actions

Multiattack. The God in the Deep makes three tentacle attacks, one of which it can replace by a maw attack. It then casts one spell from its Innate Spellcasting list or uses its Summon Servitors action.

Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 15ft., one target. Hit 23 (4d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) psychic damage if the target is not an Aberration, and the target must succeed on a DC 28 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 28) if it is Large or smaller.

Maw. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 5ft., one grappled creature. Hit 35 (4d12 + 9) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) psychic damage if the target is not an Aberration. If this damage reduces a creature to 0 hitpoints, they are chewed apart and die instantly as they are swallowed by the God in the Deep.

Summon Servitors (3/day). The God in the Deep calls upon its underlings choosing from the options below. They spawn in unoccupied spaces of its choice within 60 feet of it.

• 2d6 + 4 Aberrant Jellyfishes
• 1d4 + 1 Karcharis
• 1 Aboleth

Legendary Actions

The God in the Deep can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The God in the Deep regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Onslaught. The God in the Deep makes one tentacle or maw attack.

Desecration (Costs 2 Actions). The God in the Deep speaks a blasphemous word born of the maddening symphony of the howling void, barring the influence of the divine. Channel divinity actions cannot be used by clerics and paladins within 1000 feet of the God in the Deep, and deities cannot intervene in the same range. The desecration lasts for a minute.

Cast Spell (Costs 2 Actions). The God in the Deep casts a spell from its Innate Spellcasting list.

Transmute Cadaver (Costs 3 Actions). The God in the Deep targets the corpse of a non-Aberration that has been killed in the past minute. It warps and transforms, becoming an Aberration under its control of the same size as the cadaver. Its CR cannot exceed that of the dead creature from which it was transmuted (if the body belonged to a player character, consider its total character level instead).
