Malignancy. The amalgamation can’t be teleported or travel to another plane against its will.
Immutable Form. The amalgamation is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Innate Spellcasting. The amalgamation’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 20). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components: At will: detect thoughts, dispel magic.
Multiattack. The amalgamation uses its Contaminating Presence. It then makes three tentacle attacks, each of which it can replace with one use of Fling.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (3d8 + 10) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature grappled by the amalgamation, that creature is swallowed, and the grapple ends.
While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the amalgamation, and it takes 42 (12d6) acid damage and gains one level of contamination at the start of each of the amalgamation’s turns.
If the amalgamation takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the amalgamation must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the amalgamation. If the amalgamation dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 50 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (Escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The amalgamation has twelve tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.
Fling. One Large or smaller object held or creature grappled by the amalgamation is thrown up to 60 feet in a direction of the amalgamation’s choice and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes a solid surface, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
Mind-breaking Whispers. The amalgamation utters a terrible truth within the mind of one creature within 120 feet of it. That creature must succeed on a DC 20 Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, it takes 35 (10d6) psychic damage and becomes insane until it finishes a long rest. While insane, it can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and can speak only in gibberish. A Greater Restoration spell cast on the creature ends this effect.

Description
Campaign: Dungeons of Drakkenheim
"Formed only in places where dimensional rifts are torn open, this blasphemous abomination is a conduit by which beings from realms of chaos untold can enter our world. It is an interdimensional cancer which infects our earth." ─ Eldrick Runeweaver
The Amalgamation is a twisted mass of fleshy tumors, rotting bones, and rancid layers of bloated fat suspended between the ceiling and floor by stalky strands of gnarled tissue. The mass is covered in bursting sores, shuddering mucus nodules, and weeps bile and delerium sludge, The creature mutters in alien tongues from six yawning mouths, piping and sputtering in discordant musical tones, and lazily shifting eyes of massive size open and close throughout its bulk. Thick trunk-like tentacles reach out from its hideous stinking form to squirm and writhe around the chamber. Several appendages are wrapped around pulsing human organs: lungs, liver, kidney, a heart, and a brain. A palpable aura of contamination emanates from the beast.
