Lair and Lair Actions
A Cakarhaen Krakyn Lair
A krakyn lives in dark depths, usually a sunken rift or a cavern filled with detritus, treasure, and wrecked ships.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the krakyn takes a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects:
- A strong current moves through the kraken’s lair. Each creature within 60 feet of the krakyn must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 60 feet in a direction chosen by the kraken. On a success, the creature is pushed 10 feet away from the krakyn.
- Creatures in the water within 60 feet of the krakyn have vulnerability to lightning damage until initiative count 20 on the next round.(can only be done every other round)
- The water in the krakyn’s lair becomes electrically charged. All creatures within 120 feet of the krakyn must succeed on a DC 23 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Regional Effects
The region containing a kraken’s lair is warped by the creature’s blasphemous presence, creating the following magical effects:
- The kraken can alter the weather at will in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The effect is identical to the control weather spell.
- Water elementals coalesce within 6 miles of the lair. These elementals can’t leave the water and have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1 (−5).
- Aquatic creatures within 6 miles of the lair that have an Intelligence score of 2 or lower are charmed by the kraken and aggressive toward intruders in the area.
When the kraken dies, all of these regional effects fade immediately.
