Traits

Levitation. The golem can freely levitate to a maximum of 5ft in the air as long as it is not incapacitated.

Siege Monster. The elemental deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Multiattack: The Amethyst Golem makes two Gravity Slam attacks.

Gravity Slam: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Gravitic Pulse (Recharge 5-6): The golem releases a burst of gravitational energy in a 30-foot radius. Each creature within that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 27 (6d8) force damage and is pushed 15 feet away from the golem. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not pushed.

Crush: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is Medium or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 15). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the golem can automatically hit the target with its Gravity Slam attack.

Bonus Actions

Levitation Aura (Recharge 5-6)

As a bonus action, the Amethyst Golem can emit a 20-foot-radius aura of gravitational force for 1 minute. Creatures of the golem's choice within the aura must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled 10 feet toward the golem and become restrained until the end of their next turn. The golem can activate or deactivate this aura as a bonus action while it's active.

Reactions

Gravitic Counter: When the golem is hit by a melee attack, it can use its reaction to force the attacker to make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed back 10 feet and knocked prone.

Description

The Amethyst Golem is a floating construct crafted from amethyst crystals, infused with potent gravitational magic. Its body shimmers with a purple glow, and it moves silently through the air, unaffected by the pull of the earth. The golem's creators designed it to manipulate gravity, making it a formidable guardian or battlefield combatant. The gravitational forces it controls can pull enemies close, crush them with overwhelming force, or hurl them away with explosive bursts of energy.

Tactics

The Amethyst Golem uses its Levitation Aura to draw enemies into close range, where it can strike with its powerful Gravity Slam. It will often use Gravitic Pulse to scatter groups of foes and weaken their formation, following up with a Crush to grapple and restrain a dangerous target. If threatened, the golem uses its Gravitic Counter to push attackers away, creating space to regroup or continue its assault from a distance.
