Traits

Wild Magic Cone. The Band Stand Beholder's (B.S.B.) central eye creates a cone of wild magic, in a 60 foot cone.  At the start of each of its turns, the B.S.B. decides which way the cone faces and whether the cone is active. Any time a spell is cast inside this area, the B.S.B. rolls on the wild magic table and chooses whether or not it would like to suffer from its effects. Otherwise, the roll is ignored. (The Song Rays are not counted as spells, even if their effects are identical to that of a spell)

Musical Nature. Bards have advantage against saving throws made for the B.S.B.'s Song Rays.

Construct Nature. A B.S.B. doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Immutable Form. The B.S.B. is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Insanity. All Charisma checks automatically fail against the B.S.B.
