Lair and Lair Actions
Cerberus's Lair
Cerberus's lair is under a mountain that leads to the underdark. Caves with volcanic or geothermal activity are found near its location. Cerberus stays at the gate to the Nine Hells, stopping those that would enter and those that would leave. After the lair is discovered it will change to a new location so no one knows where it is.
Cerberus is a species of hellhound, the most powerful gains the title of Cerberus and will not die unless beaten by a stronger hellhound. This is done to make sure the strongest guardian possible is watching the gates to the Nine Hells. The only person allowed to leave without challenge is Asmodeus, ruler of the Nine Hells.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Cerberus takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Cerberus can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Necrotic water erupts from a point on the ground Cerberus can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 25-foot-high, 10-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser’s area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 32 (7d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- A tremor shakes the lair in a 90-foot radius around Cerberus. Each creature other than Cerberus on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- A Miasma Cloud appears in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point Cerberus can see within 125 feet of it. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Each creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its turn. While poisoned in this way, a creature's movement speed is cut in half and if the saving throw was below 13 then they take 55 (15d6) poison damage on a failed save.
Regional Effects
The region containing Cerberus's lair is warped by abyssal magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Small earthquakes are common within 6 miles of Cerberus's lair.
- Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally warm and tainted by salt.
- Creatures within 5 miles of the lair have disadvantage on death saving throws.
If Cerberus dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
