• Immutable Form. The Bronzebolt Defender is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
• Unstable Core. If the Bronzebolt Defender takes lightning damage it enters an Unstable state, its glowing core sparks and hisses until the end of its next turn. In this state its slam attack deals an additional 1d4 lightning damage. If it drops to 0 hit points while in this state, the core has a meltdown and explodes, unleashing an electrical blast and destroying the core beyond repair; All creatures within 10 ft. must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 13). Taking 7 (2d6) lightning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.
• Core Retrieval. If the Bronzebolt Defender is defeated without its core exploding, the core can be safely removed with either an Arcana check or a Tinker's Tools check (DC 14), becoming an Unstable Harmonic Core on a success. If the check fails by 5 or more (9 or below), the core instead immediately explodes, as in the Unstable Core ability.
