THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN ARROWS

Monsters

You can equip monsters with additional gear and trinkets however you like, and you decide how much of a monster’s equipment is recoverable after the creature is slain and whether any of that equipment is still usable. A battered suit of armor made for a monster is rarely usable by someone else, for instance. If a spellcasting monster needs material components to cast its spells, assume that it has the material components it needs to cast the spells in its stat block.

Legendary Creatures

A legendary creature can do things that ordinary creatures can’t. It can take special actions outside its turn, and it might exert magical influence for miles around. If a creature assumes the form of a legendary creature, such as through a spell, it doesn’t gain that form’s legendary actions, lair actions, or regional
effects.

Legendary Actions

A legendary creature can take a certain number of special actions—called legendary actions—outside its turn. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. A creature regains its spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. It can forgo using them, and it can’t use them while incapacitated or otherwise unable to take actions. If surprised, it can’t use them until after its first turn in the combat.

A Legendary Creature’s Lair

A legendary creature might have a section describing its lair and the special effects it can create while there, either by act of will or simply by being present. Such a section applies only to a legendary creature that spends a great deal of time in its lair.

Lair Actions

If a legendary creature has lair actions, it can use them to harness the ambient magic in its lair. On initiative count 20 (losing all initiative ties), it can use one of its lair action options. It can’t do so while incapacitated or otherwise unable to take actions. If surprised, it can’t use one until after its first turn in the combat.

Regional Effects

The mere presence of a legendary creature can have strange and wondrous effects on its environment, as noted in this section. Regional effects end abruptly or dissipate over time when the legendary creature dies.

Monsters (A)

Aboleth

Large aberration, lawful evil
Armor Class 17 (natural armor)
Hit Points 135 (18d10 + 36)
Speed 10 ft., swim 40 ft.

Languages Deep Speech, telepathy 120 ft.
Challenge 10 (5,900 XP)
Amphibious. The aboleth can breathe air and water.
Mucous Cloud. While underwater, the aboleth is
surrounded by transformative mucus. A creature that
touches the aboleth or that hits it with a melee attack
while within 5 feet of it must make a DC 14
Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is
diseased for 1d4 hours. The diseased creature can
breathe only underwater.
Probing Telepathy. If a creature communicates
telepathically with the aboleth, the aboleth learns the
creature’s greatest desires if the aboleth can see the
creature.
Actions
Multiattack. The aboleth makes three tentacle attacks.
Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft.,
one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If
the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14
Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The
disease has no effect for 1 minute and can be removed
by any magic that cures disease. After 1 minute, the
diseased creature’s skin becomes translucent and slimy,
the creature can’t regain hit points unless it is
underwater, and the disease can be removed only by
heal or another disease-‐curing spell of 6th level or
higher. When the creature is outside a body of water, it
takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes unless
moisture is applied to the skin before 10 minutes have
passed.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft. one
target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Enslave (3/Day). The aboleth targets one creature it
can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on
a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed
by the aboleth until the aboleth dies or until it is on a
different plane of existence from the target. The
charmed target is under the aboleth’s control and can’t
take reactions, and the aboleth and the target can
communicate telepathically with each other over any
distance.
Whenever the charmed target takes damage, the
target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the
effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the
target can also repeat the saving throw when it is at
least 1 mile away from the aboleth.
Legendary Actions
The aboleth 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. The aboleth regains spent
legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The aboleth makes a Wisdom (Perception)
check.
Tail Swipe. The aboleth makes one tail attack.
Psychic Drain (Costs 2 Actions). One creature charmed
by the aboleth takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage, and
the aboleth regains hit points equal to the damage
the creature takes.

points and is freed from any curse, disease, poison,
blindness, or deafness.
Change Shape. The deva magically polymorphs into a
humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating equal to
or less than its own, or back into its true form. It
reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is
wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new
form (the deva’s choice).
In a new form, the deva retains its game statistics
and ability to speak, but its AC, movement modes,
Strength, Dexterity, and special senses are replaced by
those of the new form, and it gains any statistics and
capabilities (except class features, legendary actions,

command it as a bonus action to fly up to 50 feet and

Petrifying Gaze. If a creature starts its turn within 30
feet of the basilisk and the two of them can see each
other, the basilisk can force the creature to make a DC
12 Constitution saving throw if the basilisk isn’t
incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature magically
begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat
the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a
success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is
petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or
other magic.
A creature that isn’t surprised can avert its eyes to
avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does
so, it can’t see the basilisk until the start of its next turn,
when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the
basilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the
save.
If the basilisk sees its reflection within 30 feet of it in
bright light, it mistakes itself for a rival and targets
itself with its gaze.

Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft.,

damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 16) if the
behir isn’t already constricting a creature, and the
target is restrained until this grapple ends.
Lightning Breath (Recharge 5–6). The behir exhales a
line of lightning that is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide.
Each creature in that line must make a DC 16 Dexterity
saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) lightning damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Swallow. The behir makes one bite attack against a
Medium or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack
hits, the target is also swallowed, and the grapple ends.
While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained,
it has total cover against attacks and other effects
outside the behir, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at
the start of each of the behir’s turns. A behir can have
only one creature swallowed at a time.
If the behir takes 30 damage or more on a single turn
from the swallowed creature, the behir must succeed
on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of that
turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a
space within 10 feet of the behir. If the behir dies, a
swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can
escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of movement,
exiting prone.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 30 (4d12 + 4) piercing damage.
System Reference Document 5.1 267
Deadly Leap. If the bulette jumps at least 15 feet as
part of its movement, it can then use this action to land
on its feet in a space that contains one or more other
creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a
DC 16 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target’s
choice) or be knocked prone and take 14 (3d6 + 4)
bludgeoning damage plus 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing
damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only
half the damage, isn’t knocked prone, and is pushed 5
feet out of the bulette’s space into an unoccupied
space of the creature’s choice. If no unoccupied space
is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the
bulette’s space.
