Description
Once a beautiful Nymph, Courinthe the Lesser has become a monstrosity of unholy power and proportions. Long, stringy locks of hair gather in coagulated clumps. Her blackened fingers extend like burned vines, stretched to unreal lengths, sharpened to flesh-tearing points on the ends. Her eyes are like endless pools of blackness, and her soul matches. Blue-black blood dribbles from the corners of her eyes and mouth.
Lair and Lair Actions
- A wall of tangled brush bristling with thorns springs into existence on a solid surface within 120 feet of Courinthe. The wall is up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick, and it blocks line of sight. When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. A creature that fails the save takes 18 (4d8) piercing damage and is pushed 5 feet out of the wall’s space, appearing on whichever side of the wall it wants. A creature can move through the wall, albeit slowly and painfully. For every 1 foot a creature travels through the wall, it must spend 4 feet of movement. Furthermore, a creature in the wall’s space must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw once each round it’s in contact with the wall, taking 18 (4d8) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Each 10-foot section of wall has AC 5, 15 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage, and immunity to psychic damage. The wall sinks back into the ground when the dragon uses this lair action again or when the Courinthe is rebound.
- Magical fog billows around one creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the dragon until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- Vine Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 15) if the vine isn’t already grappling a creature. The grappled target is restrained until the grapple ends
