Description
Blood eels are massive eels, measuring 250 feet long uncoiled. These brutal hunters are apex predators who dominate their ecosystems.
Lair and Lair Actions
A blood eel's lair is the 50 foot radius around its primary root, to which it is rooted to. It is common for a blood Eel to dig this out itself, creating a fifty foot diameter dome around its root. This dome can be made of stone, coral, or any solid material. It hunts outside its lair, and eats within its lair.
A blood eel encountered in its lair has a challenge rating of 14 (11,500 XP).
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the eel takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- All the water in the lair slowly is absorbed into the eel's root over the course of 5 rounds, causing the eel to heal 2d6 hit points each round for 5 rounds.
- Water leaks from outside, filling up the lair over 5 rounds.
