Description
Zirutak, Void Finality is the ultimate embodiment of the Eldrazi's insatiable hunger and reality-warping power. As a mythic titan of the void, Zirutak transcends the bounds of existence, its presence heralding the end of worlds and the unraveling of reality itself.
Appearance: Zirutak's form is an immense, ever-shifting mass of tendrils and limbs, composed of raw, chaotic energy and void-infused matter. Its body pulses with elemental energy, and its eyes are voids of pure darkness that pierce through the fabric of reality. The air around it shimmers and warps, a constant reminder of its reality-distorting power.
Origins and Behavior: Zirutak is a primordial force of destruction, born from the darkest corners of the multiverse. Its sole purpose is to consume and corrupt, leaving nothing but void in its wake. Zirutak moves between planes, seeking to unmake everything in its path. Its very presence is a herald of the end, and those who encounter it rarely live to tell the tale.
Abilities and Traits: Zirutak's powers are unparalleled, combining the raw destructive might of elemental forces with the insidious corruption of the void. It can manipulate reality, cast devastating spells, and unleash a barrage of elemental and psychic attacks. Its ability to shift its resistances and warp the battlefield makes it a nearly unstoppable force. Heroes must contend with Zirutak's immense power, legendary and mythic actions, and the chaotic environment of its lair to have any hope of defeating it.
Encountering Zirutak, Void Finality: Facing Zirutak is the ultimate test of strength, resilience, and strategy. Adventurers must be prepared to counter its reality-warping abilities, withstand its elemental and psychic assaults, and exploit its shifting vulnerabilities. Only the most powerful and resourceful heroes stand a chance against Zirutak, and even they must fight with unwavering determination and flawless tactics to prevail.
Lair and Lair Actions
Zirutak's lair, known as the Nexus of Finality, is an otherworldly domain where the boundaries between reality and the void blur. This immense and terrifying place exists in a perpetual state of flux, reflecting the chaotic and destructive nature of its master. The Nexus of Finality is a place of raw elemental power and surreal landscapes, where the laws of physics and nature are constantly distorted by Zirutak's presence.
Key Features:
-
Elemental Storms:
- Violent storms of fire, lightning, ice, and other elemental forces rage unpredictably throughout the lair. These storms create zones of extreme heat, cold, and electrical discharges, making traversal perilous.
- The storms constantly shift, altering the terrain and creating hazardous conditions that challenge even the most seasoned adventurers.
-
Reality Distortions:
- The very fabric of reality is unstable within the Nexus. Gravity shifts randomly, causing objects and creatures to float or be crushed by intense gravitational forces.
- Portals to other planes appear and vanish without warning, leading to brief glimpses of otherworldly vistas and exposing intruders to dangerous environments or creatures from different planes.
-
Void Corruption:
- Areas of the lair are suffused with the corrupting influence of the void. These zones are dark and filled with a palpable sense of dread, sapping the will and strength of those who linger.
- Creatures that spend too much time in these areas begin to suffer from void corruption, manifesting as physical and mental debilitation.
-
Psychic Echoes:
- The lair is filled with a constant hum of psychic energy, causing intrusive thoughts and disturbing whispers to fill the minds of those within.
- Telepathic communication is fraught with interference, making it difficult to coordinate or maintain mental clarity.
-
Twisted Terrain:
- The ground itself is a patchwork of shifting elements, with sections of molten lava, jagged ice, and crackling lightning fields interspersed with patches of solid void matter.
- Movement through the terrain is hazardous, with sudden shifts and changes that can catch even the most agile off guard.
Specific Areas:
-
The Void Heart:
- At the center of the Nexus lies the Void Heart, Zirutak's primary dwelling. This massive chamber pulses with dark energy and is the source of the lair's corruptive influence.
- The Void Heart is filled with tendrils and protrusions of void matter, creating a labyrinthine environment that shifts and changes, making navigation treacherous.
-
Elemental Convergence:
- This area is where the elemental storms converge, creating a chaotic maelstrom of conflicting energies. Adventurers must contend with extreme environmental hazards as they navigate this zone.
- Powerful elemental creatures, drawn to the intense energies, inhabit this area, acting as guardians to Zirutak's domain.
-
The Rift Fields:
- The Rift Fields are vast expanses where reality is most unstable. Here, portals to other planes are frequent, and gravity shifts unpredictably.
- These fields are littered with debris from other worlds, adding to the surreal and hazardous nature of the environment.
-
Corrupted Sanctum:
- This region is heavily influenced by the void, with dark, oppressive energies suffusing the area. Void-corrupted creatures, twisted by Zirutak's power, patrol this zone.
- The Sanctum is filled with void-infused flora and fauna, each presenting unique dangers to intruders.
-
Psychic Nexus:
- The Psychic Nexus is an area where the psychic echoes are strongest. Adventurers must withstand intense psychic assaults and navigate an environment where their own thoughts can become weaponized against them.
- This area is filled with psychic traps and illusions, making it difficult to discern reality from hallucination.
Regional Effects:
-
Elemental Storms:
- Within 6 miles of the lair, elemental storms rage, creating difficult terrain and imposing disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
-
Reality Distortion:
- Random portals to other planes appear and disappear unpredictably within 6 miles of the lair, potentially transporting creatures to dangerous environments.
-
Void Corruption:
- Creatures that spend more than an hour within 6 miles of the lair must succeed on a DC 29 Wisdom saving throw or gain a level of exhaustion and have disadvantage on saving throws against Zirutak's abilities.
-
Psychic Echoes:
- Telepathic communication within 6 miles of the lair is filled with disturbing whispers and chaotic thoughts, imposing disadvantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.
Encountering Zirutak in its Lair:
Adventurers brave enough to enter the Nexus of Finality must be prepared for the constant onslaught of environmental hazards and the oppressive presence of Zirutak. Navigating the twisted terrain, withstanding the elemental storms, and avoiding the corrupting influence of the void are just a few of the challenges they will face. Zirutak's ability to manipulate the battlefield and unleash devastating attacks makes the Nexus of Finality one of the most perilous places in the multiverse. Only the most powerful and resourceful heroes have any hope of confronting and defeating the ultimate embodiment of the Eldrazi's destructive power.
