Each creature of Ma Yuan’s choice that is within 120 feet of him and aware of him must succeed on a DC 23 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. 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 Ma Yuan’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours. Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Ma Yuan fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead. Magic Resistance. Ma Yuan has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Magical Weapons. Ma Yuan’s weapon attacks are magical. Siege Monster. Ma Yuan deals double damage to objects and structures. ACTIONSMultiattack. Ma Yuan can use his Frightful Presence. He then makes up to four attacks: one with his bite and three with his claws. He can make a Morphic Stone Sword attack in place of one or two claw attacks, depending on whether the Morphic Stone takes the form of a one-handed weapon or a two-handed weapon. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 48 (6d12+9) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 22). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and Ma Yuan can’t bite another target. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d8+9) slashing damage. Morphic Stone Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 37 (8d6+9) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) cold damage. As an action, Ma Yuan can transform the Morphic Stone into any melee weapon, magical or otherwise, that he wants to wield. The preceding attack and damage values reflect Ma Yuan using a greatsword frost brand. Hellfire Breath (Recharge 5-6). Ma Yuan exhales fire in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw, taking 63 (18d6) fire damage plus 37 (6d12) necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.
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. Change Morphic Stone. Ma Yuan can change the Morphic Stone into a different melee weapon and then attack with that weapon. Move. Ma Yuan moves up to half his speed. Swallow (Costs 2 Actions). Ma Yuan makes one bite attack against a Large or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target takes the bite’s damage, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside Ma Yuan, and it takes 49 (14d6) acid damage at the start of each of Ma Yuan’s turns. If Ma Yuan takes 60 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, Ma Yuan must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of Ma Yuan. If Ma Yuan dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone. |
This monstrous reptilian humanoid horror stands as tall as a high tower. Its scaly head has a ridged crest running down to its back, and it has three equally spaced eyes set in its savage visage. Its four large arms end in menacing claws, and it wears only a malevolent stone charm hanging from around its neck. Ma Yuan is an ancient evil, growing in power, who seeks to destroy all deities. He has given himself the title, "Killer of the Gods." He has met with some success so far, having killed at least 10 minor gods, but none of any significance as of yet. He learns more and more about his chosen foes with every victory. Ma Yuan may succeed in his goal, or his goal may be the death of him. The existence of Ma Yuan prevents complacency among the gods. Ma Yuan is 70 feet tall, and weighs close to 200 tons. |
