Hive Mind. The Blighted Greater Colossus shares a telepathic connection with other Blighted creatures. If one Blighted creature within range is aware of a hostile creature, all Blighted creatures in that range are also aware.
Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Colossus carry the Blighted Scourge infection. A creature hit by its attacks must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or advance one stage in the Blighted Scourge infection.
Crushing Presence. The Colossus can move through the space of any creature that is Medium or smaller. The first time it enters a creature's space on a turn, that creature must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or take 18 (4d8) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
Earthbound Resilience. While in contact with the ground, the Blighted Colossus has advantage on saving throws against being moved or knocked prone. Its attacks are treated as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances.
Multiattack. The Blighted Colossus makes two Slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.
Hit: 22 (3d10 + 7) bludgeoning damage plus 13 (3d8) blighted energy damage. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or advance one stage in the Blighted Scourge infection.
Blighted Burst (Recharge 5–6). The Blighted Colossus releases a surge of pure blighted energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 54 10d8 blighted energy damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save also advance one stage in the Blighted Scourge infection.
Absorb Essence (2/Day). When a creature within 30 feet of the Blighted Colossus is reduced to 0 hit points, the Colossus can use its reaction to absorb the creature's remaining life force. It regains hit points equal to half the fallen creature's maximum HP.
Description
The Blighted Greater Colossus is a towering monstrosity formed from the corrupted remnants of countless Blighted creatures and the environment tainted by the Supreme Scourge's dark influence. These hulking entities are forged from blighted energy and the surrounding earth, their massive frames brimming with pure destructive power. Despite their enormous size and strength, Greater Colossi possess a deadly precision, focusing their devastating attacks on single targets to annihilate them completely.
Known for their unique ability to absorb the essence of fallen creatures, Blighted Greater Colossi become even more dangerous as the battle progresses, feeding off the life force of the fallen. While they lack the ability to corrupt the ground like other Blighted creatures, their strikes radiate with concentrated Blighted energy, capable of inflicting immense damage and spreading the Blighted Scourge. These entities are often deployed as frontline juggernauts, smashing through enemy lines with overwhelming force.
