Berserker Badger Lord

Blighted Resilience. The Berserker Badger Lord is resistant to blighted energy and partially immune to the Blighted Scourge. It can reach stage 4 of infection but will not transform into a Blighted creature upon death.

Regeneration. As long as the Berserker Badger Lord remains in contact with the earth, it regenerates 15 hit points at the start of its turn.

Earthborn Fury (1/Short or Long Rest). When reduced to half its hit points or lower, the Lord enters a berserk rage for 1 minute, gaining advantage on all attack rolls and Strength checks. It can end this rage early as a bonus action.

Reinforced Lair. The Berserker Badger Lord can create large underground areas with compressed earth and stone reinforced with its energy, making it resistant to magical manipulation. While within its lair, it cannot be forced out by teleportation or banishment effects, and creatures attempting to alter the terrain with magic must succeed on a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw or fail.

Burning Vitality. The Berserker Badger Lord can choose to take 20 points of damage (not reduced by resistances) to add 10 points of damage to its next attack before the end of its turn. This ability can be used twice per round.

Humanoid Shapeshift (2/Day). As an action, the Berserker Badger Lord can shapeshift into a humanoid form for up to 4 hours. In this form:

• It retains its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.
• Its AC is 20.
• It automatically reverts to its original form if it drops to 0 hit points or as a bonus action.

Multiattack. The Lord makes three attacks: one with its Bite and two with its Claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) piercing damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d8 + 7) slashing damage.

Earthquake Slam (Recharge 5–6). The Lord slams the ground, causing a 40-foot area to tremble. All creatures in the radius must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and take 22 (5d8) bludgeoning damage.

Berserker Charge. The Berserker Badger Lord can move up to its full speed towards an enemy, gaining advantage on its next attack.

Earthen Shield (3/Day). When the Lord or an ally within 30 feet is targeted by an attack, the Lord can use its reaction to reinforce the ground, granting a +3 bonus to AC against the triggering attack.
