Dark Signature
A fail safe installed by the creating witch; a device plays a short song sounding like a music box then causes the following effect.
When Fruegal dies, it explodes, and each creature within 30 feet of it must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The explosion ignites flammable objects in that area that aren't being worn or carried, and it destroys Fruegal's equipment.

Stunning Gaze: When a creature that can see Fruegal’s central eye starts its turn within 60 feet of the monster, the monster can force it to make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw if the monster isn’t incapacitated and can see the creature. A creature that fails the save is stunned until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the monster in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

Description
A monstrosity created by a dark witch, by incubating a beholder inside of a magically altered Orc. Fruegal is a cruel glutton who acts as the warden of a massive prison colony, where inmates fear their cruel master and his ravenous appetites. He is known for his monstrous visage and insatiable appetite as well as his menagerie of large and deadly creatures whom he abuses for his amusement, often holding gladiatorial events in which he pits inmates against his fell collection of creatures. When not exercising his wrath as a terrible warden, he is used as a tank in frontline battles to demoralize and ravage those who dissent against the will of his masters.
