Shapechanger. The slaad can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid, or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. It can only adopt the shape of creatures it has bonded to.
Innate Spellcasting. The slaad’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +9 to hit with spell attacks). The slaad can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: detect magic, detect thoughts, invisibility (self only), mage hand, major image
1/day each: maddening darkness, plane shift, blade of disaster, negative energy flood, destructive wave
Deep, Dark Desires. The slaad can cast wish, but only on behalf of others that plead their absolute loyalty to him.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the slaad fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The slaad has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Arcane Strikes. The slaad’s bite and claws attacks count as magical.
Regeneration. The slaad regains 15 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.
Multiattack. The slaad makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite (Slaad Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
Claws (Slaad Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
Absorb Potential (Recharge 4-6). The slaad can exude a 30-foot radius cloud of ethereal leeches that absorb the potential of those it hits. Each creature within that radius must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be affected (randomly) by one of the following:
1. Health. The creature loses 2d10 hit points.
2. Magic. The creature loses 1d4 worth of spell slots.
3. Energy. The creature gains one point of exhaustion.
