Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Colchis Bull fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5-6). The Colchis Bull exhales fire in a 20-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Charge. If the Colchis Bull moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
High body heat. If you make direct contact with the bull you take 1d4 fire damage
Multiattack. The Colchis Bull makes two attacks: one with its gore and one with its hooves.
Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.
Hooves. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Flame Burst (Recharge 5-6). The Colchis Bull releases a burst of intense flames in a 10-foot radius around itself. Each creature within that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Reflective Hide. When the Colchis Bull is targeted by a spell that requires a Dexterity saving throw to reduce damage, it can use its reaction to gain advantage on the saving throw. If it succeeds, it reflects the spell back at the caster, who must make the saving throw instead.

Description
Forged in the fiery depths of Hephaestus' forge, the Colchis Bull is a marvel of divine craftsmanship and arcane power. Standing as a testament to the god's mastery of fire and metal, this construct embodies both strength and destructive capability.
The Colchis Bull's bronze exterior gleams with an otherworldly radiance, its surface etched with ancient runes that pulse faintly with inner fire. Its eyes, made of glowing embers, betray a fierce intelligence as it moves with calculated precision, ready to protect or obliterate as commanded by its creator.
Hephaestus imbued the Colchis Bull with the ability to breathe fire, a devastating cone that engulfs its enemies in searing flames. Its hide, resilient and reflective, deflects spells back towards their casters, turning magic against those who dare challenge its presence.
Legends speak of the Colchis Bull as both guardian and executioner, tasked with safeguarding divine treasures and punishing trespassers with unrelenting fury. Its very existence serves as a warning to mortals and immortals alike of the consequences of crossing the gods.
In battle, the Colchis Bull charges with thunderous hooves, its horns lowered to impale any who stand in its path. Its fiery breath consumes everything in its cone, leaving only scorched earth and the faint scent of divine wrath in its wake.

Lair and Lair Actions
Colchis Bull's Lair
The lair of the Colchis Bull lies hidden deep within a rugged, volcanic landscape. Accessible only through treacherous paths and obscured by billowing sulfuric clouds, the entrance to its lair is marked by ancient statues of bulls crafted from volcanic rock, their eyes glowing faintly with lingering magic.
Terrain and Features:
-
Volcanic Chamber: The heart of the lair is a vast, domed chamber, its walls lined with veins of molten bronze that pulse with faint light. Heat radiates from the molten metal, casting a warm, flickering glow across the chamber. The air is heavy with the scent of sulfur and the distant roar of magma echoes through the cavern.
-
Lava Pools: Scattered throughout the chamber are pools of bubbling lava, their surfaces occasionally rippling with the movement of submerged creatures or small geysers of superheated steam. Crossing these pools requires careful navigation or risk of severe burns.
-
Ancient Forge: At one end of the chamber stands an ancient forge, its bellows still occasionally puffing out embers. Here, Hephaestus himself may have crafted the Colchis Bull, and remnants of divine tools and unfinished creations lie scattered about. The forge emits a dim, pulsating light that illuminates the surrounding area.
-
Divine Markings: Runes and glyphs carved into the volcanic rock walls emit a faint, magical aura. They depict scenes of the Colchis Bull in battle, casting fire upon its foes, and serve both as warnings and as tributes to Hephaestus' craftsmanship.
