Lair and Lair Actions
When fighting inside it's lair, a Calderax can invoke the ambient magic to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Calderax can take one lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- A 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the Calderax can see with in 120 feet becomes frozen; that area is difficult terrain until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- Freezing fog fills a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the Calderax can see within 120 feet of it. The fog spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. Each creature in the fog when it appears must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the fog takes 10 (3d6) cold damage. A wind of at least 20 miles per hour disperses the fog. The fog otherwise lasts until the Calderax uses this lair action again or until the Calderax dies.
- Jagged ice shards fall from the ceiling, striking up to three creatures underneath that the Calderax can see within 120 feet of it. The Calderax makes one ranged attack roll (+7 to hit) against each target. On a hit, the target takes 10 (3d6) piercing damage.
