Chaotic Resurrection: When a Surazal is reduced to 0 hp or lower, roll 1d6. On a result of 7 or lower, the Surazal comes back to life in 1d4 rounds with full hp. Reroll on the Chaotic Defense, Chaotic Weakness, and Chaotic Offense tables each time it comes back to life. Every time a Surazal dies (including the first time) add a cumulative+1 to the d6 roll. The cumulative bonus resets to 0 after the Surazal takes a long rest. On a result of 8 or higher, returns to life the next round with every one of the Chaotic Defense and Chaotic Offense abilities and none of the Chaotic Weaknesses. However, at the beginning of the 1d4+1 round after coming back to life from a result of 8 or higher or when it is reduced to 0 hp (whichever happened first) the Surazal dies in a burst of energy that deals 6d6 necrotic damage to all creatures within 30 feet (Dexterity save DC 14 for half).

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 the Surazal’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. |

Description
The Surazal is a creature of chaos made manifest. No two are exactly the same, and even the same one can change radically from day to day. They have a wide variety of strange and bizarre appearances that change as they do. Even their outlook and personality are in constant flux, going from playful tricksters to contemplative philosophers to rampaging beasts without missing a beat. Two traits are commonly shared though. First is a hatred for stagnation and routine. Surazal love to see the world and others change even a fraction as much as they do. The other is a general lack of fear for death. Surazal view each of their many changes as a "death" and "rebirth", and view them anticipation rather than dread. They know even true death is usually temporary, as the chaotic energy within them is not so easily stopped. This results in reckless bravery that other creatures find utterly baffling
