Unattached. The avatar is an illusion, instead, is being powered by two giant gems inside of its eyes, each with its own armor class and hit die. The only way to discern this illusion is by actually bypassing the armor class of the Avatar.

Each creature of the avatar's choice within 120 feet and aware of it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute upon entering its aura. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Description
Velsharoon’s favored manifestation is a macabre and haunting sight — a burning skull wreathed in flickering flames of red, pale blue, and blue-green, casting an unsettling glow that dances with a sickly, unnatural light. Its eye sockets are filled with unsettling gemstones — one a ruby-encrusted diamond, burning with a seething crimson fire, and the other an emerald-encrusted opal, swirling with malevolent greenish light. The air around it crackles with a palpable sense of dread, the skull’s eerie flames casting jagged shadows that seem to writhe and claw at reality itself.
The skull’s very presence is a chilling embodiment of death and unholy power, a terrifying beacon of the god’s malice. At any moment, searing beams of raw antimagic and necrotic energy can erupt from its gemstone eyes, tearing through flesh, spirit, and the very fabric of magic itself. Those caught in its gaze are met with an overwhelming sense of doom, as if staring into the abyss of death incarnate. The burning skull hovers in silent, malevolent judgment, a reminder of Velsharoon’s unyielding dominion over life and death, searing terror into the hearts of all who dare stand before it.
