Hold Breath. The Apex Devastator can hold its breath for 1 hour.
Multiple Heads. The Apex Devastator has five heads (two Ram, two Lion, one Snake). While it has more than one head, the Apex Devastator has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious.
Whenever the Apex Devastator takes 25 or more damage in a single turn, one of its heads dies. If all its heads die, the Apex Devastator dies.
At the end of its turn, it grows two heads randomly determined by rolling on the heads table for each of its heads that died since its last turn, unless it has taken 40 damage from 5 different damage types since its last turn. The Apex Devastator regains 10 hit points for each head regrown in this way.
Reactive Heads. For each head the Apex Devastator has beyond one, it gets an extra reaction that can be used only for opportunity attacks.
Wakeful. While the Apex Devastator sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.
