Horn. Zargon’s horn grants him regeneration and his resistances to cold and fire damage. Removing the horn requires a successful melee weapon attack, followed by a DC 25 Strength check. Removing the horn causes Zargon to lose the aforementioned benefits.

Description
Zargon was an elder evil of unknowable origin, an eldritch abomination entombed under the ruins of a fallen city in the Far Realm for his vile ways. The Devourer in the Depths demanded his endless voracity be sated, and if freed, would try to conquer the world and drown it in torrents of darkness. Known as the Invincible Tyrant for his indestructability, even the ancient immortals could only trap him, for even if killed, Zargon always returned.
Zargon possessed ungodly levels of strength, and used his many tentacles to strike and constrict his foes dozens of times in the span of a few seconds. His appendages had great reach and the barbs at their end were perfect for embedding into flesh and bone to hold his victims still. If not simply crushing them, he could rip into his foes with his many teeth or gore them on his mighty horn. When fighting Zargon, the problem wasn't so much hitting him as it was trying to make any wound stick. He regenerated from injuries with a speed that surpassed that of a tarrasque, and his limbs would grow back (if he didn't reattach them first) in a mere minute if cut off.
Lair and Lair Actions
Zargon's lair is not a lair per se it is more that reality rejects this elder abomination wherever it goes. When he finds his way into the Prime Material or other realm outside of his own Far Realm prison he warps the area
Lair Actions
On initiative count #20, #10, #0 (losing initiative ties), the Zargon the Godslayer takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- On #20 Reality begins to reject the foul creature and there begins to develop breaks in reality which Zargon is able to harass and redirect towards his enemies. He uses these breaks in reality to cast Reality Break
- #10 Summon 1d4 star spawn
- #0 You are teleported to another realm roll on the realm chart
Regional Effects
The region containing Zargon's lair is warped by the foul creatures magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The natural laws of magic are warped by his presence for every spell cast roll on the wild magic table
- All Terrain within 10 miles of Zargon is rough terrain
If the Zargon dies, these effects fade instantly though scars of his presence remain and nothing less than a hallow spell or the sacrifice of an angel can cleanse the land.
