Description
While many mistake the mighty Yuking for the even mightier Wukong, they are not one in the same. The Yuking is merely a mischievous impersonator, taking inspiration from the Monkey King with his tricks and abilities. In reality, the Yuking is a minor-level celestial being which represents joy and revelry in the face of harsh conditions, which is why it makes its home in the most dangerous of conditions, the frigid north. While the Yuking is prideful and will not ignore a major insult, one can garner its respect by performing a devious prank or telling it a truly hilarious joke.
Lair and Lair Actions
The yuking resides within an old, forgotten shrine high up in a cave in the snowy mountains. In its shrine, it stands vigil as a stone statue with calm eyes and a mocking grin. Icicles hang precariously from the ceiling, daring intruders to make too much noise.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 10 (losing initiative ties), the yuking takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the yuking can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- A cloud of swirling ice and dust forms in 20-foot radius sphere somewhere in the lair. The area is Heavily Obscured to all creatures but the yuking and any creature which is not the yuking within the cloud has their speed halved from the cold. In addition, when the cloud forms, the yuking can choose to teleport into the center of the cloud.
- Massive icicles come crashing down from the ceiling and form a wall somewhere within the lair. This effect is identical to the Wall of Ice spell but deals no damage.
- The yuking immediately shape-shifts into another creature within the lair and trades places with it. A creature must succeed on a successful Wisdom (Insight) check, DC 17, to determine which creature is real or false.
