Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the akantor fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The akantor has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Multiattack. The akantor makes one Bite attack, one Claw attack, and one Tail attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 30 (4d10 + 8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the akantor can't bite another target.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 8) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (4d8 + 8) bludgeoning damage.
Crush. The akantor can expend 40 feet of its movement to rise up on its hind legs, before slamming its body down in an area within 20 feet of its location, that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 22 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 22 (4d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage plus 22 (4d6 + 8) fire damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 feet out of the akantor's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the akantor's space.
Swallow. The akantor makes one Bite attack against a Large or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target takes the bite damage, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the akantor, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the akantor's turns. If the akantor takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the akantor must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the akantor. If the akantor dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Sonic Blast (Recharge 5-6). The akantor exhales a blast of air in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide. The blast destroys all terrain and structures, magic or otherwise, within its path. Each creature in that line must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (13d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The akantor can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The akantor regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The akantor makes a Wisdom (Perception) Check.
Dig. The akantor burrows underground and moves up to its burrow speed.
Chomp (Costs 2 Actions). The akantor makes one Bite attack or uses Swallow.
Description
A wyvern truly wrapped in mystery. Known to some as the black god and to others as the tyrant of fire, this large and brutal creature is known to most as Akantor. It has strong forelimbs, thick spikes, a clawed tail and large tusks. The Akantor bears a strong resemblance to Tigrex, the differences being that Akantor has only the barest nubs of forewings left, making it incapable of flight, and its immense size, which dramatically slows down its movements. Akantor are nomadic in nature, meaning they can be found just about anywhere though Akantor have primarily been found in areas within volcanoes.
Akantors are so powerful, they can have extremely negative effects on the environment they reside in. Predator and prey flee from Akantors and only the largest wyverns and Elder Dragons even dare challenge them. An Akantor's fangs are equally effective at burrowing into dense lava as they are at killing an armored monster. Produced inside Akantor's mouth is a deadly acid used to digest prey more easily. It doesn't have an organ that produces breath-based attacks, but it is also able to produce a powerful sonic blast. This blast is used to attack prey and to destroy obstacles from long distances.
Akantors are highly aggressive and predatory. They will attack and kill almost anything on sight, often letting out a deafening roar before charging head-on. When not actively hunting or in combat, Akantor still appear aggressive, destroying whatever bothers them as they travel to their destination. Its own name in some villages means Disaster. Some of the extremes it has been seen with include droughts and heavy thunderstorms.
