### Special Abilities
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Antennae:** The Derendian moth abomination has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
|
|||
|
|
- **Assimilation:** The Derendian moth abomination has six tentacles. Whenever it takes 30 or more damage in a single turn, one of its tentacles is shorn from its body. Whenever a non-undead creature drops to 0 hit points within 200 feet of the Derendian moth abomination, it can use its reaction to sprout one additional tentacle, up to a maximum of ten. Additional tentacles atrophy after one day.
|
|||
|
|
- **Legendary Resistance (3/Day):** If the Derendian moth abomination fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
|
|||
|
|
- **Magic Weapons:** The Derendian moth abomination's weapon attacks are magical.
|
|||
|
|
- **Unbound:** The Derendian moth abomination's movement is unaffected by difficult terrain, and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the moth's speed nor cause it to be paralyzed or restrained.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Actions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Multiattack:** The Derendian moth abomination makes a number of tentacle attacks equal to the number of tentacles it currently possesses, and one beak attack.
|
|||
|
|
- **Tentacle:** Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) bludgeoning damage.
|
|||
|
|
- **Beak:** Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d10) piercing damage.
|
|||
|
|
- **Wings of the Primal Tender (1/Day):** The Derendian moth abomination teleports to an unoccupied location within 100 feet, leaving a shimmering outline of its wings in its former location. The shimmering wings flap violently before exploding in a rainbowcolored dust cloud covering a 60-foot radius. Any creature caught in the dust cloud must make a successful DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be reduced to 0 hit points. Creatures reduced to 0 hit points from this effect regenerate 10 hit points at the beginning of their next three turns.
|
