Description
Bowser is the leader of the Koopas and the enemy of the Mushroom Kingdom. He is a 10-foot dragon-like Tortle with a spiked shell.
Lair and Lair Actions
Bowser's lair is a dark castle in the mountains, 100 feet in height, 1000 feet in length, and 200 feet in width. This castle is filled with Koopas, Goombas, moving platforms, and instead of a floor, it has a 20-foot deep pit of lava with brick platforms emerging from it. The Castle's walls are littered with paintings of him and his minions.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 15 (losing initiative ties), Bowser takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Bowser can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Lava erupts from a point on the lava floor Bowser can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 40-foot-high, 10-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser’s area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- One of the brick platforms starts shaking. Each creature on the platform 9other than Bowser) must succeed a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or the platform will crumble and any creatures on it will take 90 (10d10) fire damage.
Regional Effects
The region containing Bowser’s lair is in the mountains, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Lava is very common in the region of Bowser's lair.
- The sky is red in the region of Bowser's lair.
If Bowser dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
