Oh my...

 What?  It's only a tiny CR 8 baby...  It looks like an eel with frog feet and a chitinous carapace, if you were interested.

It's definitely something that I'll have to come back to read later because... that's a lot.

Definitely interested to look more into this.

 Sure.  Those are terrifying.  That'll do.

Yo! It's Competition of the Finest Brews!!! So excited!

Amphibious.  The glory can breathe both air and water.

Temporal Radiance. The glory sheds bright light out to within 5 feet of itself, and dim light out for a further 15 feet.  This light counts as sunlight.  The glory can use its Change Lighting trait to activate or deactivate this trait.

Temporal Shadow.  While the glory's Temporal Radiance trait is deactivated, light within 5 feet of the glory becomes darkness, and light for a further 15 feet of the glory becomes dim, if it wasn't dim or dark already.  This trait ends when the glory reactivates its Temporal Radiance trait.

Electric Echo (Mythic Trait; Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If the glory is reduced to 0 hit points, it doesn't die or fall unconscious.  Instead, sparks of electricity fly from it as spectral versions of the glory materialize around it.  The glory regains 52 hit points, and moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

Actions

Multiattack. The glory makes two bite attacks.  The glory can replace one of these bite attacks with a use of its Time Flux or Electric Discharge features.

Bite.  Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit: 19 (4d8 + 3) piercing damage.

Electric Discharge (Recharge 6).  Each creature within 10 feet of the glory must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.  On a failed save, a creature takes 4 (1d8) lighting damage.  The damage dealt by this trait increases to 8 (2d8) for 1 hour after the glory activates its Electric Echo trait.

Time Flux (Recharge 4-6). The glory teleports up to 30 feet to a point it can see.  Any creature within 5 feet of the glory when it teleports must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 4 (2d4) force damage.

Bonus Actions

Dimensional Leap. The glory moves up to half its walking speed (if it's on land) or all its swimming speed (if it's in water).  This movement ignores opportunity attacks.

Change Lighting. The glory activates or deactivates its Temporal Radiance trait.  If it deactivates the trait, it instantly activates the Temporal Shadow trait, and if it activates the trait, the Temporal Shadow trait instantly deactivates.

Reactions

Final Fortitude (1/day). If the glory would be killed outright by any effect, it can choose to fall unconscious instead.  Activate this trait only if the glory used its Electric Echo trait within the last hour.

Legendary Actions

The Chronurgal Glory can take up to two 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 glory regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Instant Recharge.  The glory chooses to instantly regain the use of its Electric Discharge or Time Flux feature.  When it does this, it can choose to expend an additional legendary action to instantly use that feature.  

Damage Reversal (Costs 2 Actions). The glory regains hit points equal to the amount of hit points it lost last time it was hit with an attack. 

Mythic Actions

If the Chronurgal Glory's mythic trait is active, it gains a third legendary action each turn, and it can use the options below as legendary actions for 1 hour after using Electric Echo.

Echo Swarm.  The glory disappears in a swarm of electric echoes.  The glory can move up to its speed when it uses this feature, and the next attack made against the glory has disadvantage.

Echo Bite (Costs 3 Actions). One of the glory's echoes makes a bite attack against a creature within 5 feet of the glory.  On a hit, the target takes an additional 3 (1d6) lightning damage.

Description

"A puzzling creature from before the Calamity.  Not that I'd want to get near its electric gills to study it, though."

- Halas, Archmage

The Chronurgal Glory is a strange monster of the sea.  It typically does not interact with other forms of life, but its strange manipulations of reality have made it a highly sought-after beast by the Cerebus Assembly, who seek to capture one and experiment on it.  

It is a little known fact, but Chronurgal Glories where originally celestials, half corrupted by Far Realm influence, and banished to the Material Plane for their cravings of electricity and brine.

Lair and Lair Actions

A Chronurgal Glory makes its lair in the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean, or in a large lake within the Underdark.  Wherever the glory makes its home, it has the following benefits.

Lair Actions

On initiative count of the glory's choice (losing initiative ties), the glory takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the glory can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row, and it can only create one effect per round:

• The glory causes the water around it to boil with harmless lightning that detects the presence of metal.  The glory learns the exact location of each creature carrying a metal item or wearing metal within its lair.
• The glory causes time itself to change for a moment.  The glory can use its Change Lighting trait as part of this action, and it can teleport to one location it can see within 30 feet of it.

Regional Effects

The region containing a legendary Chronurgal Glory’s lair is warped in terms of time, light, and gravity, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Within one mile of the lair, the radius for spells that would create light is doubled, as is the radius for spells that would create darkness is also doubled.  For instance, the bright light radius for the spell light becomes 40 feet, instead of 20.
• Creatures that are within two weeks of dying of old age within the lair instantly become 2d10 days younger, while creatures born within the last two weeks instantly become 2d4 days older.  Each effect can only ever alter a creature's age once.
• Creatures and objects within the lair that weigh over 200 lbs instead weigh exactly 200 lbs while in the lair, and creatures and objects that weigh less than 25 lbs instead weigh exactly 25 lbs while in the lair.

If the glory dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d4 days.

 Some of the best categories I've seen yet.  Very hallows eve!

 Nah, it's honestly pretty cool. I've seen scarier... though I am pretty easily scared.

So if I have a (very) lore heavy monster, can I still submit that for DM option? I have created the idea monster I absolutely love that happens to work for the DM category. I plan to have 3-4 types and a TON of lore. Would that work for DM, or would that be better for inspirational?

 If there's a monster, there's a way.  Inspiration is basically just anything you can make more lore based, but everything else just has lore as a nice extra.

 Should be fine for the DM Category, but  people might be rating based on the monster stats more heavily than the lore.

Cool, thanks. I'll start writing!

For PC option, I'll create an antimagic sorcerer subclass. 

Alright, I've finished my DM category submission! I hope you guys like it!

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

Planar Nature. The dragon cannot be teleported against its will. In addition, the dragon always knows the location of the nearest planar opening.

Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) force damage, and if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or be teleported to an unoccupied space of the dragon's choice within 30 feet of it.

A creature that is frightened in this way is teleported 10 feet away from the dragon at the start of each of its turns. 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 dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Planar Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon creates a dimensional rift in a 60-­foot line that is 5 feet wide.

In addition, on a failed save, the target is shunted to another plane until the start of the dragon's next turn, where it is incapacitated.

Legendary Actions

The dragon 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 dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check. 

Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.

Dimensional Hurricane (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon conjures a ring of mystical energy. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d6 + 6) radiant damage and have its movement speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn. The dragon can then teleport up to half its flying speed.

Awesome!!

That dragon is terrific!
