Lair and Lair Actions
A Wendigo’s Lair
A wendigo blizzard lord often hunts around arctic forests normally returning to its former home in life, if the dwelling is to small they will find A large cave or abandon keep.
A lich encountered in its lair has a challenge rating of 22 (41,000 XP).
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Wendigo takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Wendigo can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Freezing fog fills a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the wendigo 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 wendigo uses this lair action again or until the wendigo dies.
- Jagged ice shards fall from the ceiling, striking up to three creatures underneath that the wendigo can see within 120 feet of it. The wendigo makes one ranged attack roll (+7 to hit) against each target. On a hit, the target takes 10 (3d6) piercing damage.
- The wendigo creates an opaque wall of ice on a solid surface it can see within 120 feet of it. The wall can be up to 30 feet long, 30 feet high, and 1 foot thick. When the wall appears, each creature within its area is pushed 5 feet out of the wall’s space, appearing on whichever side of the wall it wants. Each 10-foot section of the wall has AC 5, 30 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to acid, cold, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage. The wall disappears when the dragon uses this lair action again or when the wendigo dies.
Regional Effects
The region containing a wendigo blizzard lord's lair is warped by the wendigo's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Chilly fog lightly obscures the land within 6 miles of the wendigo's lair.
- Freezing precipitation falls within 6 miles of the wendigo’s lair, sometimes forming blizzard conditions when the wendigo is at rest.
- Icy walls block off areas in the wendigo's lair. Each wall is 6 inches thick, and a 10-foot section has AC 5, 15 hit points, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to acid, cold, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage.
If the wendigo wishes to move through a wall, it can do so without slowing down. The portion of the wall the wendigo moves through is destroyed, however.
If the wendigo dies, the fog and precipitation fade within 1 day. The ice walls melt over the course of 1d10 days.
