Death Stroke. If the Slaad Lord of Entropy scores a natural 20 on its attack roll with his scythe and confirms the critical hit, that opponent must succeed on a DC 35 save or their character will die. Creatures slain can be raised normally, but there is only a 50% chance that such magic works. Even if the save succeeds, a creature struck takes 8d6 points of physical damage (which may be enough to kill it anyway) additional to any damage being given. This ability only functions in the hands of the Slaad Lord of Entropy.

Frightful Presence. Each creature upon engaging Ygorl that is within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns until 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 the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Description

Ygorl was the slaad Lord of Entropy. He was the second-oldest slaad lord, after Ssendam, and was considered the de facto ruler of the Outer Plane of Limbo. He was said to have created the Spawning Stone that was the focus of the slaad race, forcing them to take frog-like forms rather than their original, purely chaotic shapes.

Ygorl appeared as a blackened, bat-winged, skeletal hulk, wielding a large sickle made from adamantine.

As one of the exemplars of the chaotic neutral alignment, Ygorl was not truly evil, but still very dangerous, unpredictable, and self-serving. He believed in bringing death, decay, and disorganization to the multiverse, and thought this was best done by the slaadi, the truest agents of Chaos.

He carried a 8' sickle with the slaad word for "death" inscribed on it and he could murder opponents instantly with it.

Ygorl considered the slaadi to be his living pawns. They did not serve him in any organized fashion, but most would obey his orders rather than allow him to devour them. Besides Shkiv, Ygorl was allied with Sorel, his lieutenant, who he was grooming to become the Lord of Anarchy.

Ygorl ignored Ssendam and feared Rennbuu. He enjoyed the company of Chourst, at least at times.

Ygorl banished Wartle to the plane of Celestia.

The Slaad Lord of Entropy is believed by some to be the supreme ruler of the slaadi race. He is a true agent of Chaos as can be seen in his actions and mood. Few have witnessed his true power, and those who have never speak of such experiences.

Hushed whispers among the slaadi say this is in fact a guise and not his true form. It is believed that his true form is that of a 15-foot tall black salad.

The Slaad Lord of Entropy’s primary attack is with his scythe. He attacks relentlessly with it in combat, mixing in his spell-like abilities as he sees fit.

The Slaad Lord of Entropy’s natural weapons, as well as any weapon he wields, are considered chaotic-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. The Slaad Lord of Entropy’s natural weapons are considered epic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

When visiting the Material Plane, the slaad lord rides an ancient brass dragon.

Lair and Lair Actions

Ygorl's fortress in Limbo constantly changed appearance; it could be a rough cavern, a shattered marbled temple, or a series of interlaced carved spheres that whirled through Limbo's layers.

Lair Actions

Every round, roll a D10. On a 1, a Death Slaad enters the battle because it came to the temple to become a White Slaad. On a 7, a White Slaad enters the battle because it came to the temple to become a Black Slaad.
