Lair and Lair Actions
The Zeffo Champion makes its lair in a dark, cavernous chamber deep beneath the surface of a remote planet. The chamber is dominated by a large, circular platform made of smooth, black stone. The platform is surrounded by a moat of bubbling, purple liquid that emits a faint, eerie glow.
The walls of the chamber are lined with intricate carvings and glyphs that depict ancient Zeffo history and lore. In the center of the chamber, a large crystal pillar rises up from the platform, casting a dim, blue light across the room.
The Zeffo Champion has constructed a crude throne of bones and debris near the crystal pillar, from which it oversees its domain. The air in the chamber crackles with a powerful energy, as if the very fabric of reality is distorted by the Champion's presence.
Beneath the platform, a network of tunnels and chambers leads deeper into the planet's crust. These tunnels are filled with traps, puzzles, and other obstacles that the Zeffo Champion has used to test the worthiness of would-be challengers. Only those who prove themselves strong enough to face the Champion in combat are permitted to approach its throne.

-
Distorted Reality. The air in the lair warps and distorts, causing all creatures within 60 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 18) or become disoriented. Disoriented creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of their next turn.
Force Field. The Zeffo Champion creates a barrier of Force energy around itself and its allies, granting them temporary hit points equal to the Champion's Challenge Rating (9).
Sith Tomb. The ground beneath the platform cracks open, revealing a pit filled with writhing tendrils of dark energy. Each creature within 30 feet of the pit must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 18) or be pulled towards it, taking 3d6 necrotic damage and becoming restrained until the end of their next turn.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary [monster name]’s lair is [enter the effect description], which creates one or more of the following effects:
-
1. Distorted Energy. The energy fields within a 1-mile radius of the Zeffo Champion's lair are distorted, causing technology to malfunction and magical energies to fluctuate unpredictably. Any technological or magical items within this radius have a 50% chance to malfunction, resulting in unpredictable effects or outright failure.
2. Force Nexus. The Zeffo Champion's lair is situated on a powerful Force nexus, granting it greater control over the Force within a 1-mile radius. Any Force users within this radius have their powers amplified, gaining advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws related to the Force. However, the increased intensity of the Force also makes it more dangerous and unpredictable, causing any Force-based abilities used within this radius to have a 10% chance of malfunctioning or causing unintended consequences.
3. Zeffo Spirits. The restless spirits of the ancient Zeffo people haunt the area surrounding the Champion's lair, causing strange phenomena to occur. At night, ghostly apparitions appear, whispering in ancient Zeffo dialects and causing fear in those who fail a Wisdom saving throw (DC 18). Additionally, the spirits can sometimes possess objects or creatures within the radius, causing them to move or act on their own.
If the Zeffo Champion dies, these effects fade over the course of 4 days.
