Magic Resistance. Yavani has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Yavani fails a saving throw, they can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The matriarch makes two claws attacks.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (2d10) slashing damage.
Fey Incense (1/Day). Yavani releases an enchanting fog that smells like nectar. This fog fills a 60 foot diameter around her, and lightly obscures all inside it. Every humanoid and giant within the fog must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be Charmed. The target may make subsequent saving throws on the end of their turn to break out of the charm. The fog lasts for 1 hour or until it is dispersed by wind.
While charmed by Yavani, the target sees her as a great ally, offering support no other could offer. The target must do as Yavani commands, provided that act does not bring direct harm onto them or their allies. If the creature takes damage from her Severing of Fate's Yarn ability they do not make their saving throw due to this damage.
A target that successfully saves is immune to charm effects for the next 24 hours.
Cloak of the Archfey. Yavani can cast greater invisibility on herself. The target can attempt to determine her location by the butterflies floating near her location after beating a DC 15 Perception check. If the target is within the fog from her Fey Incense, the check is made at disadvantage due to being lightly-obscured.

Description
Yavani appears at first to be an impossibly elegant woman of fey ancestry. Her hair is a glorious pink, and her clothes seem to blend in with her, like a butterfly collapsing its wings around itself to form a cocoon.
After her Mirage breaks, she is revealed to be an old crone who has transformed herself into a bizarre hag that looks closer to an owl than a woman.
Lair and Lair Actions
Yavani's lair resides deep in the darkest forests, where Man is but a distant memory and things that lurk in the night dwell.
Lair Actions
When fighting inside her lair, Yavani can invoke the ambient magic to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Yavani takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- Yavani casts phantasmal force (no components required) on any number of creatures it can see within 60 feet of it. While maintaining concentration on this effect, Yavani can’t take other lair actions. If a target succeeds on the saving throw or if the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the Yavani’s phantasmal force lair action for the next 24 hours, although such a creature can choose to be affected.
- Yavani can fracture fate for those in her hutt, her domain. A target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or take 7 (2d6) psychic damage. Yavani can’t use this lair action again until it has used a different one.
Regional Effects
The region containing Yavani’s lair is warped by the creature’s presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Trees within a 1 mile radius turn brilliant and twisted, transforming the land within into a segment of the feywild which Yavani severed and claimed as her own.
- Fey creatures will spawn inside the radius nightly, eager to defend their master from assaults and intruders.
- Grains of sand turn into gems within the radius.
