Ankleg lets out a cry of desperation.  As he does so his mouth opens wide and out from his mouth leaps the forms of his minion demons fear, lust, hate and pride.  

The minions fight for him and all of their hit points are pooled within the body of Ankleg.  They do not have access to their own presences and effects but have access to all their attack actions.  Whenever an attack hits one of the minions the damage is dealt as it should be, but if the attack hits Ankleg it is as though all four demons were hit by the attack.

He has 2 more legendary actions that can be used per round and these additional options available to use as legendary actions:

 Devourer.  Ankleg uses the Whip of Chaos attack.  On hit the target must succeed on a DC 26 strength saving throw or be devoured by Ankleg.  A creature who has been devoured is blinded and restrained. At the beginning of an effected creatures turn they take 33 (6d10) necrotic damage.  Ankleg absorbs the damage multiplied by the number of demon aspects that are active.  To escape the effected creature either must spend their action to roll a DC 30 Athletics check. If Ankleg takes 150 points of damage from within in one turn all creatures are regurgitated.

Roamer.  Ankleg's form teleports to any point within 100 feet that he can see.  An energy pulse the length of the line between where he started and where he ended that is 25 feet wide explodes.  All creatures touching that line must succeed on a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or take 42 (4d20) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. If the creature is flying they begin to falling at a rate of 60 ft. per round until they succeed on the saving throw or until they hit the ground taking the appropriate fall damage.
