Description
The Crystalenyx is a huge crystal golem that lives in caves. It is magically almost 100% clear and light passes almost perfectly through them. It is a very powerful creature that is usually guarding large deposits of gems. Smart kings in the past used them to guard secret tunnels or tombs hidden under their castles. Shards of these creatures have also been used to make spearheads that never need sharpening.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Crystalenyx's lair is a domed cave that is a giant geode. It sits in front of an ancient tomb of an ancient wizard. Stalagmites and Stalactites are all over and some even create giant bridges and columns within the cave.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 1 (losing initiative ties), the Crystalenyx takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Crystalenyx can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The Crystalenyx can absorb (2d6) worth of hitpoints from the surrounding crystals.
- The Crystalenyx crawls up onto the ceiling and can use its Diamond Knife attack but with advantage.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Crystalenyx’s lair is full of sharp crystals, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Each AOE or Missed Bludgeoning attack has a 25% chance to shatter crystals. Roll a d4 and if a 1 is rolled each creature other than the Crystalenyx within 30ft of the attack must make a strength 12 saving throw or take (2d6) damage.
