Crimson Angel

Legendary Resistance (3/day). The Crimson Angel, upon failing a saving throw, can choose to spend a Legendary Resistance to succeed instead.

Unusual Nature: The Crimson Angel does not need to breathe

Undead Fortitude: If damage reduces the Crimson Angel to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the Crimson Angel drops to 1 hit point instead.

Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Self (120ft Radius)

For the duration:
You gain flying speed of 80ft and can hover
You are immune to Necrotic damage and the poisoned condition
Hostile creatures treat the area within 120 ft as difficult terrain as crimson spores cling to their bodies
At the start of each of your turns, every hostile creature in the area must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, it takes 5d8 Necrotic damage and gains a Blight Mark; on a success, it takes half damage and gains no mark.
Whenever a creature triggers, Crimson Bloom, choose one:
Instantly teleport to an unoccupied space within 30 ft

Cause crimson thorns to erupt beneath another creature within 60ft, dealing 4d8 piercing damage
Create a Dredged that obeys your commands until the spell ends.

Cradle of the Sea: 
9th-level Necromancy
Casting time: 1 Reaction, which you take when you would be reduced to 0 hit points.
Range: self
Duration: Instantaneous
Death refuses your name. The moment your body is destroyed, every Blight Mark on every creature within 1 mile, ignites in a silent crimson bloom. Living flesh blackens into a scarlet crystal as the Blight recalls its creator.
Instead of dying, your body collapses into a tree of bone-white branches, crimson-pink flowers and liquid scarlet resin. The battlefield falls unnaturally still.
At the beginning of your next turn, the tree erupts. You are reborn where the tree rests.
You revive with the following:
All conditions removed.
All expended Legendary Resistances restored.
All spell slots of 5th level or lower restored
Every hostile creature within 60ft takes 10d10 Necrotic damage and gains 3 Blight Marks, triggering Crimson Bloom
This rebirth cannot be prevented by Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Wish, or any effect that restores or destroys a creature’s body.
If your body is completely erased, disintegrated, banished, or otherwise ceases to exist, Cradle of the Sea still occurs.

Eternal Bloom: 
Should the Crimson Angel be slain again before completing a long rest, Cradle of the Sea activates once more. There is no limit to the number of times this spell can trigger.
Only destroying the Heart of the Blight, the primordial source from which the Crimson Angel was born, can prevent this spell from activating. Until that source is destroyed, the Crimson Angel cannot permanently die.

“Strike down the blossom if you wish
Burn the stem.
Salt the earth.
The garden remembers.”
