On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Crosis takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Crosis can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
Corrupting Miasma. Crosis unleashes a cloud of necrotic energy that fills the room.

A creature that fails the save is also poisoned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Telekinesis. Crosis can use its telekinesis innate spellcasting ability as a lair action, without using an action to cast the spell.
Undead Army. Crosis raises 1d4+1 zombies or skeletons from the ground within 120 feet of it. The undead immediately obey Crosis's commands until destroyed.
Regional Effects
The region around Crosis's lair is warped by its magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
Necrotic Aura. The air within 1 mile of the lair is permeated with the stench of death. Creatures within this area have disadvantage on saving throws against being poisoned.
Undead Presence. Undead creatures are drawn to the area within 1 mile of the lair, and Crosis can communicate with them as if they shared a language.
Dark Magic. Magic spells that deal necrotic damage are more potent within 1 mile of the lair. Such spells deal an additional 1d10 necrotic damage.
Crosis's Lair
Crosis lairs in the darkest, most forsaken places. The entrance to its lair is guarded by undead minions, and traps and wards litter the approach. Once inside, its lair is an ever-shifting maze of corridors, with traps and hazards lurking in every shadow. Its inner sanctum is a dark chamber, filled with the echoes of screams and the sickly-sweet scent of decay. Within this chamber, Crosis hoards its treasures, including magical artifacts and cursed relics of unspeakable power.
