The target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by C'urdthulu until C'urdthulu dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target.

Lair and Lair Actions
Lair Actions
When fighting inside its lair, C'urdthulu can invoke the ambient magic to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), C'urdthulu takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- C'urdthulu casts phantasmal force (no components required) on any number of creatures it can see within 60 feet of it. While maintaining concentration on this effect, C'urdthulu can’t take other lair actions. If a target succeeds on the saving throw or if the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the C'urdthulu's phantasmal force lair action for the next 24 hours, although such a creature can choose to be affected.
- Water in the C'urdthulu's lair magically becomes a conduit for the creature’s rage. C'urdthulu can target any number of creatures it can see in such water within 90 feet of it. A target must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or take 7 (2d6) psychic damage. C'urdthulu can’t use this lair action again until it has used a different one.
Regional Effects
The region containing an C'urdthulu's lair is warped by the creature’s presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Underground surfaces within 1 mile of C'urdthulu's lair are slimy and wet and are difficult terrain.
- Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally fouled. Enemies of C'urdthulu that drink such water vomit it within minutes.
- As an action, C'urdthulu can create an illusory image of itself within 1 mile of the lair. The copy can appear at any location C'urdthulu has seen before or in any location a creature charmed by C'urdthulu can currently see. Once created, the image lasts for as long as C'urdthulu maintains concentration, as if concentrating on a spell. Although the image is intangible, it looks, sounds, and can move like C'urdthulu . C'urdthulu can sense, speak, and use telepathy from the image’s position as if present at that position. If the image takes any damage, it disappears.
If C'urdthulu dies, the first two effects fade over the course of 3d10 days.
