From D&D Wiki
Chi-Yu[edit]
Tiny construct, neutral evil Armor Class 17 (natural armor)
Skills History +10 Beads of Ruin. Chi-Yu emits an aura of ruin in a 30-foot radius around its beads. Creatures inside this aura that aren't Chi-Yu have a -5 penalty to any saving throws they make. The remove curse spell, or similar magic can be used to suppress this effect for 10 minutes. Cursed Rejuvenation. When Chi-Yu is reduced to 0 hit points, the fire that makes up its body disperses, leaving its beads behind. These beads are magical and cannot be destroyed under normal circumstances. Chi-Yu comes back to life with all its hit points in 1d10 days, unless a dispel magic, remove curse or similar magic is cast at 7th level on the beads. Lava Fish. Chi-Yu can burrow through solid stone in addition to normal earth at its normal burrowing speed, leaving a 10-foot radius tunnel of molten lava in its wake. Any creature standing in this area takes 55 (10d10) fire damage at the start of each of their turns. Lava is considered difficult terrain to any creature that isn't immune to fire damage or doesn't possess a swim speed. The lava cools into igneous rock after 1 hour of time. ACTIONSMultiattack. Chi-Yu uses nasty plot, then uses dark pulse three times or lava plume twice. Ruination (1/Day). Chi-Yu causes dark, cursed energy to befall a creature within 30 feet of it, causing their current hit points and hit point maximums to be halved until they finish a long rest. Nasty Plot. Chi-Yu makes a DC 20 Intelligence check. On a success, any damage dealt its actions increases by 10 until the end of Chi-Yu's turn. Lava Plume. Chi-Yu blasts a massive plume of lava into the air, which crashes down on a point within 30 feet of Chi-Yu in a 60-foot tall, 20-foot radius cylinder. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 39 (6d12) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Dark Pulse. Chi-Yu unleashes a wave of twisted energy at a creature it can see within 30 feet of itself. The targeted creature must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 28 (8d6) psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't stunned.
LEGENDARY ACTIONSThe 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 regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Curse. Chi-Yu casts bestow curse on a creature within 30 feet of itself. This version of the spell does not require concentration and ends if a creature is 30 feet or further from Chi-Yu. |
Chi-Yu resembles a fish made of fire, with two beads in place of eyes. This construct was formed from the envy of countless people over the years, which formed itself a body made of fire. |
