Death Burst. When the soldier dies, it explodes in a burst of guts and acid. Each creature within 10 feet of it must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Conjure Spectral Snake. A large spectral snake made of green hellfire appears from the green bladder on its stomach for 1 minute or until the soldier dismisses it as an action. While the snake is out, the soldier's movement speed is reduced to 0. The snake can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 12; 60 hp; immune to fire damage; resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing from nonmagical attacks). Destroying the snake deals no damage to the soldier. The snake can also be removed if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.

Breakable Parts. The chimera has three breakable parts. A creature can make Wisdom (Perception) check, learning which parts are breakable on the creature if the check is higher than the DC listed below.
     When a creature makes an attack against the chimera or uses a spell that targets one creature, it can choose to target the chimera's breakable part if it is aware of it (using the same skills, saving throws, resistances, and immunities as the chimera) from the list below.

• Goat Head. (AC 19; HP 60) When the Goat Head is broken, the chimera can no longer make a Bite (Goat Head) attack or use Spellcasting.

Dealing damage to a part deals damage to the chimera. When the chimera finishes a short or long rest, all broken parts are healed.

Pounce (Lion Head). If the chimera moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a Bite attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the chimera can make one Claw attack against it as a bonus action.

Kick (Lion Head). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6; Snake Head). The chimera's snake head exhales a poisonous mist in a 60-foot cone. The Mist lingers until the start of the chimera next turn. A creature that starts its turn in the mist or moves through it for the first time on a turn must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute on a failed save, or half as much damage and isn't poisoned on a successful one.

Spellcasting (Goat Head). The morkoth casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 15):
2/day each: call lightning, cone of cold, fireball, sleep at 5th-level.

Legendary Actions

The chimera 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 chimera regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Attack. The chimera's lion head makes one Claw or Kick attack.

Lick. The chimera makes one Bite (Goat Head) attack against a target grappled by its Snake Head. On a hit, the attack deals no damage, but the target is vulnerable to lightning and cold damage, and resistant to fire damage for 1 minute or until it uses an action to wipe away the spit.

Legendary Resistance (2/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Crystal. Instead of a heart, the dragon has a single purple crystal in its chest that can be attacked. (AC 22; immunity to fire, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage, resistances cold, lightning, and piercing, slashing from nonmagical weapons, vulnerable to all other damage). The crystal can be targeted only when an ally creature is within 5 feet of the dragon. Dealing damage to the crystal deals damage to the dragon.

Actions

Multiattack. The dragon makes one Bite attack, one Claw attack, and two Stomp attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. If the dragon moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target takes an extra 11 (2d10) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 16) and is restrained until this grapple ends. The dragon can have only one creature grappled this way at a time.

Malevolent Presence. Any creature with an Intelligence of 4 or more that is within 30 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by it 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 the dragon's Malevolent Presence for the next 24 hours. A creature charmed in this way fixates on another creature or object that the dragon mentally chooses and must, on each of its turns, move as close as it can to that target and use its action to make a melee attack against it. If the dragon doesn't choose a target, the charmed creature can act normally on its turn.

Poison Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales poisonous gas in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 45 (10d8) poison damage, is poisoned for 1 minute and all food and drinks on them rot. While poisoned in this way, the creature the creature deals only half damage with weapon attacks. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't poisoned.

Bonus Actions

Enslave (Recharge 4–6). The dragon targets one creature it has grappled. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the dragon until the dragon dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target. The charmed target is under the dragon's control and can't take reactions.
    The charmed target can repeat the saving throw whenever it takes damage, ending the effect on itself on a success. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can repeat the saving throw when it is at least 1 mile away from the dragon.

Legendary Actions

The dragon 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 dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

LAIR ACTIONS

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Tiamat takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Tiamat can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Tiamat chooses a point on the ground that she can see within 120 feet of her. A 5-foot-radius, 20-foot-deep pit of swirling water forms centered on that point until initiative 20 on the next round.

On a failed save, a creature is pulled to the bottom of the pit, taking 14 (4d6) bludgeoning damage and is restrained (escape DC 15) by the whirlpool. On a successful save, a creature moves to the nearest unoccupied space instead of falling in the pit.

Improved Initiative. The clockwork spy has advantage on advantage on initiative rolls.

Mindless Construct. The clockwork spy automatically succeeds on all Constitution and Intelligence saving throws.

Record Audio. As a bonus action, the clockwork spy can record nearby sounds, archiving all sounds within a 20-foot radius onto a small gemstone worth 50 gp embedded in its body. The clockwork spy can record up to 1 hour of sound. Starting and stopping playback of recorded sound is a bonus action.

     Removing a gemstone or installing a gemstone into a clockwork spy requires a DC 20 Intelligence (tinker's tools) or Dexterity (sleight of hand) check. Failing this check does not damage the gemstone, but does erase any recorded sounds on it.
    Since clockwork spies are not intelligent, they must be given simple commands as to when they are to start recording sounds. A clockwork spy can differentiate between creature types and subtypes, but not between specific individuals. Once a clockwork spy begins recording sound, it cannot cease recording early. Likewise, it cannot record sound onto a gemstone that already contains a recording.

Self-Destruct. Unless specifically programmed otherwise by its creator, a clockwork spy explodes 1 round after it is reduced to 0 hit points. During this round, the thing shrieks and thrashes about as if undergoing convulsions. When it explodes, each creature in a 5-foot radius around it must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3 (1d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
     Before the clockwork spy explodes, a creature can make a DC 15 Intelligence (tinker's tools) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check, disabling the self-destruct sequence on a successful check. A clockwork spy that self-destructs automatically destroys its gemstone, along with any information contained inside it.

Winding. The clockwork spy must be wound with special keys in order to function. Once fully wound, the clockwork spy can remain active for a total of 24 hours, before needing to be wound again. While turned off, the clockwork spy is considered stunned.

Actions

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack. +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 bludgeoning damage.

Arcane Weapons. Numidium's weapon attacks are magical. When Numidium hits with any weapon, the weapon deals an extra 4d8 force damage (included in the attack). If the weapon attack targets a celestial, construct, or fiend the force damage is doubled.

God Slayer. If a fiend, celestial, or gods hit points are reduced to 0 they are destroyed and erased from history, except by those who witnessed its destruction. This effect ignores a creature's ability to prevent their death, such as Tiamat's discorporation trait. Restoring such a slain creature requires the use of a wish spell and the caster may never cast the wish spell again.

Immutable Form. Numidium is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.

Innate Spellcasting. Numidium's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence. It can innately cast the following spells at 9th level (+19 to hit, spell save DC 27), requiring no material components:

At will: arcane gate, control weather, divine word, dominate monster, enlarge/reduce, eyebite, freedom of movement, gate
3/day: antimagic field, mass suggestion, mind blank, modify memory, plane shift, reverse gravity, time stop
1/day: clone, foresight, simulacrum

Irregular Causality. Numidium operates on a different and irregular system of cause and effect than regular causality. Each creature within 1000 feet of Numidium cannot use any abilities, feats, magic items, or traits that would allow them to reroll dice, unless Numidium allows it.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Numidium fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Numidium has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Siege Monster. Numidium deals double damage to objects and structures.

Towering Terror. Any enemy that starts its turn within 30 feet of Numidium must succeed on a DC 26 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the start of the enemy's next turn. If the enemy's saving throw is successful, it is immune to Numidium's Towering Terror for the next 24 hours.

Actions

Multiattack. Numidium makes three attacks; two with its slam and one with its stomp.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 29 (3dl2 + 10) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) force damage and Numidium can push the target up to 20 feet away from it.

Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 32 (4d10 + 10) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) force damage and each creature within 20 feet of the target must succeed on a DC 27 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Shout of Refusal (Recharge 6). Numidium emits an ear-piercing wail. Each creature within 30 feet of Numidium must make a DC 21 Charisma saving throw, taking 39 (6d12) thunder damage plus 39 (6d12) force damage and are permanently deafened on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one and are deafened for 1d4 hours.
    If a creature's hit points are reduced to 0 by this shout, its body is disintegrated into nothing, the memory of this creature is erased from the memories of every creature in the planes, all written or pictorial references to the target fade away. The only exception is those who personally witnessed the death. Restoring such a slain creature requires a wish or divine intervention; no mortal remembers the creature’s life or death.

Numidium 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. Numidium regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
