- Balamath releases a toxic scent from his back, this attracts a additional 2d8 beast creatures of the DMs choice into the lairs area of effect
- 1d4+2 Giant hands burst out of the ground reaching at hostile creatures within 15ft of themselves, each hand has AC13 HP50. When grabbing at a creature within 15ft of themselves the target must make a [DC16 STR Save] or become grappled.
- More concentrated gasses fill the area, non infected creatures within must make a [DC15 CON Save] Or become poisoned. Creatures poisoned in this way loose 1d6+2 max health per turn untill healed, this max health loss is recovered on a long rest.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Balamath’s lair is filled with a putrid purple fog smelling like a long dead army, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Any creature within the lairs area of effect is converted to the infected state shown in this creatures traits
- Any terrain within the lairs area of effect is considered difficulty terrain
- Medium or larger plants within the lairs area of effect become awakened and are hostile to creatures with intent to engage balamath in combat
