Abyssal Colossi are a race of colossal giants that dwell deep within the darkest recesses of the Abyss, a plane of pure chaos and evil. These towering monstrosities are the embodiment of malevolence and destruction, standing at least 30 feet tall and covered in thick, obsidian-like scales. Their eyes burn with a sinister, crimson glow, and their hulking frames exude an aura of dread and foreboding. Abyssal Colossi have massive, clawed hands capable of tearing through stone and flesh alike, and their voices rumble like thunder, sending shivers down the spines of those who hear them.

The lair of the Abyssal Colossus within the Stygian Abyss is a nightmarish fortress of colossal proportions, constructed from the remains of defeated foes and tainted by the malevolent essence of the Abyss. Its architecture, a grotesque fusion of demonic and abyssal design, features obsidian spires and eerie, green-lit chambers. Sinister traps and animated guardians protect its horrific depths, while the Abyssal Nexus at its core allows the Colossus to harness abyssal corruption for dark rituals and empowerments. Despite the surrounding chaos, an eerie silence prevails. 

Lair Actions

On initiative count 1 (losing initiative ties), the Abyssal Colossi takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Abyssal Colossi can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Fearful Aura: The very presence of an Abyssal Colossus radiates fear and unease. They have an innate aura that induces fear in creatures around them. Forces any creature in it's lair to roll a Wisdom Savings Throw [DC 17] or become Frightened of the Abyssal Colossus. 
• Darkspawns' Surge: The lair itself responds to the Colossus's command, spawning abyssal darkspawn creatures to assist it. These darkspawn emerge from the tainted ground, surrounding and attacking the intruders. Spawns one Shadow, one Shadow Demon, and one Hellhound. (Creatures have 5 HP if the horn of the Gigantling's is blown)

Regional Effects

The region containing a legendary Abyssal Colossus' lair is ridden with corrupted magic , which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Abyssal Corruption: Abyssal Colossi are infused with the dark energies of the Abyss, granting them the ability to corrupt and desecrate their surroundings. They can channel this malevolent power to weaken their enemies and create areas of unholy ground that siphon the life force from those who tread upon it. Players within a 10 mile radius of the region need to take a Constitution Savings Throw [DC 13] or lose 1d4 maximum hit points. (This effect is negated if the players blow the horn from the Seafrolic Giants)

If the Abyssal Colossi dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d6 days.
