Death Burst. When the elemental dies, it explodes in a burst of magical energy. Each creature within 60 feet of it must then succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 18 (4d8) force damage and experiences a surge of wild magic; roll on the Wild Magic Surge table in the Player’s Handbook to determine the wild magic effect. On a successful save, a target takes half that damage and doesn't experience a wild magic surge.
Gaseous Form. The elemental can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. A creature that touches the elemental or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 5 (1d10) force damage. In addition, the elemental can enter a hostile creature’s space and stop there. The first time it enters a creature’s space on a turn, that creature takes 5 (1d10) force damage.
Innate Spellcasting. The elemental's innate spellcasting ability is Constitution (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: chaos bolt
1/day: prismatic spray
Magic Resistance. The elemental has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Chaotic Burst (Recharge 5–6). Each creature within 30 feet of the elemental must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 18 (4d8) force damage and is stunned until the end of the elemental's next turn. On a successful save, a target takes half that damage and isn't stunned.
Description
Repeated magical experimentation often has dangerous and unpredictable by-products, and clouds of chaos are one such result. A swirling mass of raw elemental energy, these animated creatures are barely held together by the magic that created them. They rarely live longer than a week if left alone, but the destruction they can cause during that time can rival even a feral dragon. Thankfully, when they appear they are easy enough to find, and dealing with them is relatively straightforward with the right approach.
