Description
Voraxid is a swift, insectoid predator with a sleek, chitinous body. It moves with agility, combining martial prowess with arcane disruption. Its insectoid nature allows it to climb and leap effortlessly, making it a deadly ambush predator.
Lair and Lair Actions
Voraxid’s lair is a massive hive deep underground, filled with tunnels, chitinous walls, and insectile traps. It is a place of perpetual twilight, alive with the hum of insects.
Lair Actions: On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Voraxid can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it cannot use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Summon a swarm of insects that swarm a 20-foot radius area, distracting enemies and granting advantage on attack rolls against creatures in the swarm until the start of the next round.
- Trigger a sudden collapse of tunnels, causing a 15-foot radius of the lair to become difficult terrain and dealing 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage to creatures caught in the collapse.
- Release a burst of arcane interference, forcing all spellcasters within the lair to succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or have their spellcasting disrupted for 1 round.
Regional Effects: The region around Voraxid’s lair is shrouded in perpetual twilight, with frequent insect swarms and arcane disruptions. These effects persist outside the lair and can influence local wildlife and spellcasting.
