Unearthly Life Force. When Xor´chylic is reduced to 0 HP, they make 3 death saving throws at the start of each of their turns, but remains conscious. On a success, any creatures psychically connected to them take 1d6 psychic damage, and Xor´chylic heals half the damage dealt.

Reactions

Thought Scramble: Each creature that attempts to act before the mindflayer in the initiative order is forced to make an Intelligence saving throw or have their initiative order reset to a random value. The effect lasts until the end of the next round.

Hive Sacrifice: When the mindflayer is targeted by a spell or effect requiring a mental saving throw, the mindflayer can choose to have the spell target one of its thralls within 100 feet instead. The thrall dies from the strain.

Psychic Camouflage: When the mindflayer takes damage, it can use its reaction to momentarily disappear from the mind of the attacker, causing all other attacks that round to be at disadvantage.

Stillness of Mind: The mindflayer can use a reaction to end an effect that causes it to be stunned, charmed, or frightened.
