Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Aberration takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Zarkar glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- One creature Zarkar can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to entire a blind rage to attack the closest being. To escape, the creature must use its action to make a Wisdom check contested by the dragon’s. If the creature wins, it escapes the dream plane. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round.
