Legendary Actions

Lay Egg (Costs 2 Actions). The gigginox lays a gelatinous glob that spawns 2 (1d4) giggi at the start of its turn. The giggi's initiative is immediately after the gigginox. The egg sac can be attacked and destroyed (AC 12; hp 20; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, psychic and lightning damage). A creature that has a giggi attached to it that was hatched from this egg sac must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a failed save, the creature is paralyzed until the start of its next turn.

Description

The chaotic gigginox is created when a regular gigginox's metamorphosis into a baleful gigginox is interrupted, creating a hybrid between the two. The chaotic gigginox is a CR 14 version of the CR 10 gigginox and has the both poison and lightning elements. Its appearance is much the same as both gigginox, but its head and most of its back are a golden yellow, while its tail and wings still maintain most of the gigginox's original color. It is an unstable, yet powerful monster, whose life span is only a few short years due to the complications on how it is created.
