The Heart of Darkness (Mythic Trait; Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). When Agrach Dyr is reduced to 0 hitpoints, it doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, the damage loosens Agrach Dyr's grasp on Atramenta, causing its grasping hands to corporealize. Agrach Dyr has two hands, each with an AC of 18 and 50 hit points. The hands are immune to all conditions, and share their ability scores with Agrach Dyr. Agrach Dyr regains 200 hit points, and can only be damaged again once the hands are destroyed.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Agrach Dyr's Blood-Chilling Presence for the next 24 hours.

On a success, they take half damage and are not knocked prone.

Description
Agrach Dyr is an aspect of one of the fundamental forces of the universe. They are darkness incarnate and have taken notice of the darkness that resides in the hearts of humanity, calling to it like a kindred spirit. Now that Agrach Dyr knows of humanity's existence, they will stop at nothing until they are united. Unfortunately, Agrach Dyr cannot leave their observation post at the edge of the universe, so humanity must come to them. With millennia of machinations coming to fruition, Agrach Dyr is finally close to holding Atramenta close to their coal-black heart.
Lair and Lair Actions
Agrach Dyr's lair rests on the event horizon of the known universe, forever enshrouded in darkness, outpacing the encroaching light. In this border between the material plane and the Far Realms and the great unknown beyond the universe, Agrach Dyr has plotted since the beginning of time. This place is a graveyard of planets and suns, frozen in a place beyond light where time cannot touch.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Agrach Dyr takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Agrach Dyr can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Sickening shadows spill forth from a point on the ground Agrach Dyr can see within 50 ft. of them, creating a 10 ft. radius semisphere to become enshrouded in poisonous smoke. Each creature in the semisphere's area must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of their next turn. Creatures poisoned this can only use their action or bonus action on their turn, not both.
- Eldritch phalanges erupt throughout the lair in a 50 ft. radius circle around Agrach Dyr. Each creature other than Agrach Dyr must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or take 5 (1d10) necrotic damage Creatures damaged this way lose half of their movement. If a creature fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they become grappled.
- The fathomless abyss around Agrach Dyr writhes, spawning an Inquisitor, a Flayer, or a Broodlord and 3 (1d4+1) scions at points they can see within 50 ft. of them.
