A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Babbel’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Soul Stream (Recharge 5-6).

LEGENDARY ACTIONS The babbel 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 babbel regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Detect. Babbel makes a Wisdom (Perception) check. Tail Attack. Babbel makes a tail attack. Rupture Earth (Costs 2 Actions). Babbel slams the ground. Each creature within 30 feet of Babbel must succeed on a DC 26 Strength saving throw or take 21 (4d6 + 9) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. Babble can then move up to half its burrowing speed.

LAIR ACTIONS On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Babbel takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Babbel can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row: Automated Defenses. A turret built into the tower appears and fires a shot at a one creature that Babble can see within 300 feet of it. Babbel makes one ranged attack roll (+12 to hit) against the target. On a hit, the target takes 48 (10d8) fire damage. The turret then retracts into the tower again. Dead Rising. Babbel releases spirits trapped in its core. These apparitions materialize and attack one creature that Babble can see within 300 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 20 Constitutionsaving throw, taking 52 (15d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. The apparitions then disappear. Align Gravity. Babbel causes the direction gravity flows around the tower to change in a direction of his choosing. Any creature that does not have a method of maintaining its position relative to the change in gravity(this could simply be that they would now be standing on what was formerly a wall, using the flight spell, or have a climbing speed) begins falling. A creature that begins falling from this effect may attempt to grab onto something nearby to not fall provided that there is something for them to grab on to. The check is a DC 20 Athletics or Acrobatics check which on a success they don’t fall and a failure they do. This effect encompasses the entire tower and up to 440 feet around the tower. If a creature is propelled by this effect outside its radius normal gravity takes hold again and they begin falling earthward as normal.
