Reactions

Spell Reflection. If the phaerimm is targeted by a magic missile spell, a line spell, or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll, it can use its reaction to make an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the phaerimm is unaffected, and the effect is reflected back at the caster as though it originated from the phaerimm, turning the caster into the target.

Actions

Multiattack. It makes six attacks: one with its bite, four with its fists, and one with its tail.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d6) piercing damage.

Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (2d4) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage, it can grapple the target (escape DC 13).

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (3d4) piercing damage plus 18 (4d8) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed.

Legendary Actions

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

Haunting Image. The phaerimm targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. The target can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the phaerimm’s Haunting Image for the next 24 hours.

Mind Warp (costs 2 actions) . The phaerimm targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must make a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw. The target takes 14 (4d6) psychic damage on a failed save and becomes stunned for 1 minute, or half as much damage on a successful one and doesn’t become stunned. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself with a success.

Telekinetic Storm (costs 3 actions) . The phaerimm unleashes a whirlwind of psychic energy in a 30-foot radius centered on the phaerimm. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or take 14 (4d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
