Description
This creature is a beholder, or appears to be, but it is comprised of a floating topiary with a huge mouth and one huge eye. It also has 12 eyestalks that appear to be roses with eyeballs inside them. They are almost exclusively found at the central gazebo or plaza of a hedge maze where they've made their lair.
Lair and Lair Actions
Bloomrots lurk in hedge mazes they’ve cultivated with fey energy or the help of other chaotic fey .
The region containing a bloomrot’s lair is twisted by its presence, creating the following effects:
Scopophobia. Creatures within 1 mile of the lair feel as if they’re being watched. Any creature (excluding the beholder and its allies) that finishes a Short Rest while within 1 mile of the lair must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or gain no benefit from that rest.
Warping Terrain. Minor warps in reality occur near the lair; any creature (excluding the beholder) within 1 mile of the lair that makes a D20 Test and rolls a 1 has the Prone condition.
If the beholder dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
