Description
The Wrath of the Boiling Swamps is a being of mystery. Nobody knows how this creature was made, it simply appeared within the Boiling Swamps. Some say he's a vengeful spirit of a man who was burned to death by the Swamp's acidic rain. Others say it was created by a powerful Druid as a means of protecting the Bog Tree. No matter what story you hear of its creation, all you need to know is to stay away from it and its swamps.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Boiling Swamps themselves are the domain of its wrath, but the primary lair of this creature is the area surrounding the Bog Tree.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Wrath of the Boiling Swamps takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Wrath of the Boiling Swamp can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Grasping roots and vines erupt in a 20-foot radius centered on a point on the ground that the wrath can see within 120 feet of it. That area becomes difficult terrain, and each creature there must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be restrained by the roots and vines. A creature can be freed if it or another creature takes an action to make a DC 18 Strength check and succeeds. The roots and vines wilt away when the wrath uses this lair action again or when the Wrath dies.
- The murky waters of the swamp begin to bubble and boil. Each creature in the swamp waters take 32 (4d8) fire damage on their turns until they get out of the water. After a minute of boiling the water creates a magical fog, giving creatures disadvantage on attack rolls and checks that rely on sight.
- The wrath summons 2d6 Vine Blights.
Regional Effects
The Boiling Swamps is the legendary Wrath of the Boiling Swamps lair. The regions natural arcana creates one or more of the following effects:
- The swamps waters boil constantly, dealing 32 (4d8) fire damage to creatures who touch it.
- Occasionally, the skies rain acid over the swamp, dealing 18 (3d6) acid damage.
- Large walls of thorns and vines form within 1 mile of the Wrath's lair. The walls are 10-foot-hight, 10-foot-thick, and if a creature is slammed into one, they take 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage.
If the Wrath of the Boiling Swamps dies, these walls of thorns fade over the course of 1d6 days.
