Description
Xiuthpilla, Skyshroud Sovereign is a majestic couatl, the largest and most revered of its kind. While mostly residing on the idyllic plane of Elysium, Xiuthpilla will occasionally make trips to the Material Plane to survey the progress of life and ensure the continuing influence of Good. It's iridescent blue-green scales help it blend seamlessly into the sky while travelling. The only hint of it's passing is the trail it cuts through the clouds and the occasional flash of it's violet wingtips. Xiuthpilla is peaceful by nature and never engages in conflict unless absolutely necessary.
Lair and Lair Actions
While residing on the Material Plane Xiuthpilla prefers to settle in remote areas either long abandoned or never settled such as a distant valley within a mountain range or a temple from a now-extinct civilisation. Wherever it rests, within a 5-7 days of settling in a particular area the conditions of the surrounding environment begin to change. Plant life grows thick, preventing most forms of land travel and a deep mist covers the canopy so that none may see into the lair.
