Lair and Lair Actions
Lair Description:
Wrecking Ball's lair is a cavernous chamber hidden deep within a dense, enchanted forest. The entrance to the lair is concealed by thick foliage and natural rock formations, making it difficult for intruders to stumble upon. Inside, the chamber is dominated by large, twisting roots and overgrown vegetation, with bioluminescent fungi casting an eerie glow throughout the space. At the center of the chamber lies a massive nest constructed from vines and branches, where Wrecking Ball rests and hoards its treasures.
Lair Actions:
On initiative count 20, Wrecking Ball takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
-
Root Snare: Thick roots erupt from the ground, attempting to ensnare creatures within 30 feet of Wrecking Ball. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained until the end of its next turn.
-
Ethereal Distortion: The magical energy within the lair distorts reality, causing the area within 30 feet of Wrecking Ball to become heavily obscured by swirling arcane mists. This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects:
The region containing Wrecking Ball's lair is imbued with potent magical energies, which create one or more of the following effects:
-
Arcane Nexus: Within a 1-mile radius of Wrecking Ball's lair, the ambient magical energy is heightened, causing spells cast within the area to have their effects amplified. Spells cast within this area have their damage increased by 1d6, and creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against spells.
-
Vegetation Growth: The flora surrounding Wrecking Ball's lair grows at an accelerated rate, with plants and trees thriving in the enchanted environment. Any non-magical plants within a 1-mile radius of the lair grow twice as fast as normal, and their size is increased by 50%.
If Wrecking Ball dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d6 days as the magical energies dissipate from the area.
