Dancing Silver Greatsword. As a bonus action, Vlaakith tosses her silver greatsword into the air, where it makes two attacks against a creature of her choice that she can see within 30 feet of her. Each round on her turn, she can use a bonus action to have the sword make two attacks on a creature she can see within 30 feet of her, or to call the sword back to her hands.
Fear Aura. Any creature hostile to Vlaakith that starts its turn within 20 feet of her must make a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw, unless she is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. If a creature’s saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to Vlaakith’s Fear Aura for the next 24 hours.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Vlaakith fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.
Rejuvenation. If Vlaakith is destroyed, she gains a new body in 1d10 days, regaining all her hit points and becoming active again. Her new body appears within 5 feet of her phylactery.

Silver Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 10 (3d6) psychic damage. This is a magic weapon attack. On a critical hit against a target in an astral body (as with the astral projection spell), Vlaakith can cut the silvery cord that tethers the target to its material body, instead of dealing damage.
Paralyzing Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +17 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) cold damage. The target must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Vlaakith can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Vlaakith regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.
Cantrip. Vlaakith casts a cantrip.
Silver Greatsword. Vlaakith makes a silver greatsword attack, whether the weapon is in hand or dancing.
Paralyzing Touch (Costs 2 Actions). Vlaakith uses her Paralyzing Touch.
Frightening Gaze (Costs 2 Actions). Vlaakith fixes her gaze on one creature she can see within 10 feet of her. The target must succeed on a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened for 1 minute. The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to Vlaakith's gaze for the next 24 hours.
Disrupt Life (Costs 3 Actions). Each non-undead creature within 20 feet of vlaakith must make a DC 25 Constitution saving throw against this magic, taking 21 (6d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Lair and Lair Actions
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Vlaakith can take a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects; Vlaakith can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Vlaakith rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If she has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
- Vlaakith targets one creature she can see within 30 feet of her. A crackling cord of negative energy tethers Vlaakith to the target. Whenever Vlaakith takes damage, the target must make a DC 25 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, she takes half the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage. This tether lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round or until Vlaakith or the target is no longer in her lair.
- Vlaakith calls forth the spirits of creatures that died in her lair. These apparitions materialize and attack one creature that Vlaakith can see within 60 feet of her. The target must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw, taking 52 (15d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. The apparitions then disappear.
