Traits

Magic Resistance. The abyssal goliath has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Siege Monster. The abyssal goliath deals double damage to objects and structures.

Grand Slam. the abyssal goliath's long jump is up to 50ft and it's high jump is up to 30ft, with or without a running start. creatures within 10ft of the landing area of the abyssal goliath must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 6 (1d12) damage.

Actions

Earthquake Slam. The abyssal goliath smashes its sledgehammer arm at a point on the ground within 20 feet of it. Any creature in a 20-foot-radius, 20-foot-high cylinder centered on this point must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 22 (4d10) bludgeoning damage and fall prone. until the abyssal goliath uses its stomp again or moves the creature is restrained. While restrained in this way a creature can use its action to make a DC 18 Strength (Athletics) check, ending the effect on a success.

Structures, as well as nonmagical objects that are neither being worn nor carried, take the same amount of damage if they are in the cylinder (no save).

Guillotine Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 25ft., one target. Hit: 44 (10d6 + 9) slashing damage. If the target has at least one head and the abyssal goliath rolled a 20 on the attack roll, the target must succeed on a DC15 Dexterity saving throw, or it is decapitated and dies if it can’t survive without that head. if a target succeeds on the saving throw,  has legendary actions, or is Huge or larger it is immune to this effect, but takes an additional 21 (6d6) slashing damage.

Bulldozing Tackle (recharge 5-6). the abyssal goliath moves across a 30ft line and slides its sledgehammer arm arcoss the ground. every creature in the abyssal goliath's path is moved along with it and must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw and take 44 (6d10) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone, or half as much damage on a sucessful save.

 

Description

The abyssal goliath appears to be vaguely humanoid, though larger than a building of several stories. It appears to lack skin on most of its body, displaying its bare musculature, its face is also severely lacking in skin, which will give it an almost skeletal look. Noticeably, all four of its limbs are in different proportions. It moves surprisingly fast, with oddly-angled back legs and front arms like a massive orangutan. Although such narrow limbs cannot support such an enormous torso and would rupture instantly without the abyssal magic fueling the creature.

Abyssal Demolishers. many princes of the abyss spawn abyssal goliaths to unleash destruction upon a region. the body, but especially the head, of the abyssal goliath usually marks its allegiance to their demon princess/prince. for a couple of examples: an abyssal goliath sent by baphomet might have horns and furr similar to a minotaur; one sent by Yeenoghu might cackle, be hunched like a gnoll and have a skull similar to a hyena; while one sent by Zuggtmoy might have fungi growing all over its body.

Chaotic Proportions. the abyssal goliath looks like a giant muscled humanoid torso with 2 small legs it uses to push itself across the ground, and 2 differently shaped arms.

Abyssal Sledgehammer. the abyssal goliath has one super muscled arm with thick bone plating starting from the elbow, transforming the rest of the arm into a giant sledgehammer. 

Abyssal Guillotine. the abyssal goliath has one very lithe but also muscled arm, with a sharp splint shaped bone blade attached at the end.

(this monster is inspired by and designed after the goliath in the game 'prototype 2')
