Description From beyond the known universe, Hastur is a reality-shattering force with power rivaling that of any deity. A gigantic figure cloaked in a mantle of burnished gold, Hastur is vaguely humanoid in appearance, though few notice anything through the air of alien weirdness it exudes. Every aspect of the Great Old One is unnatural. A twisted perversion of reality itself, the creature’s four arms and neck display sickly pulsating flesh, while its head is shrouded in a pallid mask of illuminated metal. Its eyes are hollow voids that gaze across dimensions unseen, witnessing incomprehensible realities. The shadows around the creature writhe with obvious malice, hinting at a hateful form beyond what the eyes can observe. “King am I, whom emperors have served. Mine to rule, your unborn thoughts. Witness now, the Yellow Sign.” – Only recorded words of Hastur Hastur THE KING IN YELLOW PROFILE Personality: Obsessive Ideals: With a bizarre and alien mind, Hastur cares not to understand mortal sentiments and feelings. Concepts like pain, death, and fear are utterly irrelevant. What little personality the Great Old One possesses follows a twisted logic that is impossible to rationalize. Hastur has insight into cosmological truths beyond conception that reduce even the most brilliant minds to gibbering wrecks. Bonds: The King in Yellow is bound to the city of Carcosa. This demiplane is an extension of Hastur’s existence, its streets reflecting the tortured corridors of its own mind. Hastur aspires only to add to this bizarre city through absorption. By reducing a population to fanatics and cultists, Hastur may steal an entire metropolis to become part of Carcosa. The surviving population must then eke out an existence under Hastur’s watchful gaze, their agonies a rare delight for the nefarious Great Old One. Flaws: Hastur’s presence is unrelentingly hostile, making meaningful relationships or communication by the most resilient of individuals only possible from a great distance. Those able to handle the entity’s terrifying visage find the creature profoundly disturbing and frighteningly insightful. There is little Hastur does not understand about the universe, but rarely is this understanding applied to anything but mayhem and corruption. Legend: The King in Yellow. Unspeakable One. Thane of Carcosa. These names and many more attempt to give some description to this cosmic entity of enigmatic power. Hastur is a chaotic influence that brings the universe ever closer to total entropy. From the city-eating metropolis of Carcosa, Hastur spreads its infectious tendrils across the multiverse, planting seeds that sprout into vile cults. It is unknown if Hastur came into being or if it has always existed. Its only discernible motivation beyond spreading its influence is its affinity for the arts. Plays, portraits, and sculpture often accompany the presence of Hastur’s cults, inspiring unsettling and alien works in countless creative minds. Hastur wields terrifying power over reality and thought, and what little information exists about its abilities indicates power of Deific strength or beyond. Those who desire Hastur’s favor form profane cults or, in the rare case of warlocks, select it as an otherworldly patron. These servants work tirelessly to bring pieces of their world to Hastur’s domain. The process is destructive and horrifying. Distributing its unsound influence far and wide, if the cult of Hastur manages to infect enough of the population, their dark master may pull the entire city and population into Carcosa. There, the souls of countless civilizations exist in eternal insanity, reveling in the horrific artistry that irreparably twists their minds. Hastur in Your Campaign The Great Old One is a challenging force to explore in a campaign. The being is deific in scope, but manifests a limited form for reasons unknown. This fools many into thinking Hastur is defeatable, but this is a false hope. The Great Old One is as inevitable as death and as insidious as rot. What makes Hastur so terrifying is its inscrutable motives. The creature may be fascinated with the actions of a common painter one day, and hurling apocalyptic flesh meteors the next. Each act is a part of some grand, twisted design whose endgame only Hastur truly understands. One thing is for certain, whatever intentions Hastur has for the universe, they can only end in incomprehensible calamity. EPIC LEGACY HERO’S HANDBOOK mythic creatures 300

Mythic Effects As a mythic creature, Hastur causes the following effects. If Hastur is on its home plane of Carcosa, these effects apply to the entire realm. Otherwise, their range is always a 20-mile radius centered on Hastur. Those within either area suffer the following effects. Feverish Dreams. If a non-Epic creature finishes a short or long rest, it must succeed on a DC 33 Wisdom saving throw or suffer one level of yellow delirium (see the Influence of Hastur trait). Additionally, Hastur is aware of any creature in the area with one or more levels of yellow delirium. The Black Stars Beckon. By spending 1 minute of uninterrupted concentration, Hastur can cast any spell or Epic spell of its choice with a range greater than self at any point within the area. Hastur must be aware of the presence of creatures to target them with a spell cast in this manner, but it need not see them (even if the spell would ordinarily require it to do so). This is a Deific effect. Whispers of Hastur. Once per hour, Hastur may issue a telepathic command to a creature with an Intelligence greater than 5 within the area. When that creature would take a long rest, it must instead spend that time creating a work of art using any tools it has available or gain two levels of yellow delirium. Rewards Hastur is beyond the concept of wealth and power and consequently hordes no treasure. Defeating the Great Old One yields little direct compensation for those mighty enough to accomplish the feat, but those who do so reap far greater benefits for the world at large. When Hastur falls, its hold on reality is weakened for a period of 10,000 years, preventing it from affecting any creatures in that universe and vice versa. Its name fades into memory as its cults disband, and all but the last vestiges of its influence fall out of memory as though it never existed at all, a welcome reprieve from such a malevolent force. The following plot hooks serve as ways to introduce Hastur to your campaign. Celebration in Amber. Famous heroes and villains from across the realms mysteriously receive a strange invitation bearing the sign of Hastur. The paper speaks of an upcoming event titled “A Celebration in Amber” taking place on the lost city of Carcosa. The cryptic message states that attendance is mandatory and that one should come prepared to “perform for the honor of timeless memorial.” The Witness. A legendary bard has returned to the mortal realms after missing for nearly a five centuries. Unfortunately, he is not the man he once was. His once famous musical talents are twisted and strange as he performs alien melodies about horrifying worlds beyond space and time. In his lucid moments, the bard claims to have seen “The King in Yellow” and has come with a warning of imminent doom. War of the Outer Worlds.The Great Old Ones have always fought each other simply because they can, but none of them have ever defeated another—until today. Hastur has claimed victory over a rival Great Old One and consumed its power. This has given the King in Yellow enough strength to move Carcosa to the material plane and unleash countless horrors from its gray streets. If Hastur is not banished soon, all the world will fall under the dominion of the yellow sign. EPIC LEGACY HERO’S HANDBOOK mythic creatures 301 Hastur, the King in Yellow

Infectious. Hastur’s spells and abilities induce unsound frenzy. Each time a creature fails a death, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw against Hastur, the creature gains one level of yellow delirium. Influence of Hastur. Hastur’s abilities inflict a unique condition called yellow delirium, which is measured in six levels. An effect produced by Hastur can give one or more levels of yellow delirium, as specified in the effect’s description. Yellow delirium is a special condition that cannot be removed by any means other than those presented in this trait. When a creature would regain 200 or more hit points as a result of magical healing from an Epic effect, the creature may instead prevent that healing and reduce its levels of yellow delirium by one for every 200 hit points it would have regained. If a creature would be immune to yellow delirium, it loses that immunity and instead gains Epic advantage on saving throws against effects that would cause it to gain levels of yellow delirium. A creature suffers the effect of its current level of yellow delirium as well as all lower levels. For example, a creature suffering two levels of yellow delirium loses all resistance or immunity to psychic damage, cannot reduce psychic damage it takes, and cannot move more than 10 feet in a straight line before changing direction. Abilities, effects, or spells that would remove yellow delirium instead reduce its level by one. All yellow delirium effects end if a creature’s yellow delirium level is reduced below one. with a spell or magical effect, it may choose to instead deal psychic damage.

Hastur moves with an otherworldly air, granting it the following benefits. • Hastur may take both a Dash and Disengage action as a single bonus action. • Once on each of its turns, if Hastur is prevented from taking an action (including bonus, legendary, and mythic actions) as the result of a condition or magical effect, it may spend half its movement (minimum of 5 feet) to become immune to that condition or magical effect until the end of that turn. MYTHIC ACTIONS On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Hastur takes a mythic action to cause one of the following effects. Hastur can cause the same effect multiple times in a row. Active Hallucinations. Hastur magically teleports to a space it can see within 80 feet of it. Additionally, six illusory copies of Hastur are created in unoccupied spaces it can see within 80 feet of it. The illusions function as Hastur does and act on its turn, but their actions cannot harm or affect anything. If damaged, the illusions are destroyed, but otherwise are indistinguishable from Hastur. If they are not destroyed, the illusions disappear on the next initiative count of 20. Present the Yellow Sign. Hastur presents the Yellow Sign, an eldritch glyph that heralds its profane power. All creatures within 60 feet of it that can see Hastur must succeed on a DC 33 Wisdom saving throw or gain three levels of yellow delirium, or one level on a success. Unless surprised, a creature can use its reaction to avert its eyes to automatically succeed on the saving throw. A creature that averts its eyes in this manner cannot target Hastur until the end of its next turn. ACTIONS Multiattack. Hastur makes three Tattered Lash attacks or casts two non-Epic spells.

Description Majestic. Elegant. Radiant. These paltry words are but feeble attempts to describe the divine beauty of the mythical Prismatic Wyrm. Like light given flesh, this dragon is a glistening beacon of draconic power. Its sculpted form dwarfs all but the most titanic of creatures. Every scale, horn, curve, and muscle is perfectly placed as if by an artistic genius. However, few are ever graced with such a view, for the beauty of the Prismatic Wyrm is not fit for mortal eyes. Its body is wreathed in an ever-shifting display of light that overwhelms the senses, leaving most onlookers with only a vague impression of its full majesty. When it speaks, the wyrm’s voice echoes with unmistakable divine magnitude, betraying a mighty heritage that explains its awesome power. With a light more brilliant than the sun and more spectacular than a masterpiece, the Prismatic Wyrm brings ruin to all who would besmirch the universe. A true god holds both beauty and power in equal measure. – The Prismatic Wyrm Prismatic Wyrm PROFILE Personality: Gentle Ideals: The Prismatic Wyrm embodies artistic innovation and self-expression. Its every moment is a performance, casting its dancing light across the universe. To the dragon, these moments of creativity and artistry are more important than nearly all other concerns. It is the purpose of life to create beauty and realize one’s potential. Bonds: As the divine offspring of the overgod known as the Eightfold Wyrm, this dragon is burdened with terrible responsibility and significance. Its parent is unknowable and incomprehensible to all but the mightiest of beings, so surely its far more tangible offspring is a preferable go-between when trying to contact the Eightfold Wyrm? However, the Prismatic Wyrm has no interest in those who worship or oppose its parent, preferring to live its own life. However, the shadow of such a sire is long, forever darkening the Prismatic Wyrm’s days. Flaws: Having witnessed eons of existence, the Prismatic Wyrm places little value on fleeting emotions and suffering. These are but ugly stains on existence, cycles of torment the wyrm has witnessed a thousand times. Only art and inspiration are truly unique. Given the choice between innovative beauty and mortal suffering, the wyrm chooses beauty every time. Legend: Dragons count among the oldest beings in existence. Their progenitor is the mysterious Eightfold Wyrm, an overgod whose power and existence are a wellguarded draconic secret. By this deity’s will, dragonkind was forged across countless universes, taking myriad forms that endure to this day. However, among these creations, a single egg was forged. The first and only of its kind, this dragon would be the sum of all dragons given form, a physical reflection of the Eightfold Wyrm. This child was a rebellious one. Many believed the Prismatic Wyrm, being blessed with power that eclipses all its kin, would be an agent for its sire among mortals. But they were wrong. The dragon takes little interest in the affairs of others beyond satisfying its own sense of aesthetics. Anyone objecting to this frivolous lifestyle utters them in secret, for none has proved strong enough to compel the wyrm to act otherwise. For those who are enemies of dragonkind or wish to gain the attention of the legendarily aloof Eightfold Wyrm, there is no greater challenge, or opportunity, than to meet the Prismatic Wyrm in battle. The Prismatic Wyrm in Your Campaign Dragons are always seen as a powerful influence in the world, and the Prismatic Wyrm is no different. While this mighty being would rather paint than fight, it is never one to back down from those who threaten its comfortable and aesthetically pleasing lifestyle. However, there is almost no scenario in which this creature must be fought. For those who know of its existence, it represents the ultimate test of power short of battling the gods. There is no mightier being walking the mortal realms and certainly not one that can be approached and engaged so readily. It is a mountain for heroes to climb, forever challenging them to attain the strength required to even scratch its scaly hide. The following plot hooks serve as ways to introduce the Prismatic Wyrm to your campaign. Art Vandalism. The characters are responsible for the destruction of an artistic building the Prismatic Wyrm regards as EPIC LEGACY HERO’S HANDBOOK mythic creatures 304

Prismatic Wyrm is aware of any creature illuminated by daylight that shares the same plane as it does. Draconic Nobility. As the child of the Eightfold Wyrm, the Prismatic Wyrm is considered to be a sacred entity by all other dragons. Epic and non-Epic dragons cannot willingly harm the wyrm unless the wyrm harms them first. Additionally, Deific dragons have Epic disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks against the Prismatic Wyrm. Rewards All dragons hoard treasure, and the Prismatic Wyrm is no exception. Its vast hoard is a literal museum of priceless art; it has amassed sculptures, paintings, and music in preposterous quantities and staggering quality. No matter one’s tastes or preferences, a creature who searches this vast treasury always finds a work of art that touches their very soul. However, even among this vast field of treasures there is one object that stands out as truly extraordinary, a simple marble sculpture of a dragon that defies description. This is the only known caricature of the Eightfold Wrym and is accurate to the last detail. A nondragon that offers prayer and worship to the Eightfold Wyrm while in the presence of this statue is always heard, and at their request may be permanently transformed into a type of dragon of their choice as though affected by the transmogrify spell. This transformation is a Deific effect. a masterpiece, enraging the dragon. It now seeks to track them down and demand reparations, by force if need be. Guard Duty. A calamitous threat to all dragonkind has drawn the Prismatic Wyrm out from its quiet life and into the spotlight. While it is away battling this mighty threat, its precious lair remains unguarded and in need of protection. The wyrm is searching anxiously for heroes both powerful and trustworthy enough to protect its treasures, with the promise of generous compensation for a job well done. The Rainbow Scale. A deadly disease is ravaging a community of ancient elves and has proven resilient to any cure or treatment. In desperation, a great healer divines that a single fresh scale from the Prismatic Wyrm could provide the catalyst to synthesize a cure. However, the wyrm is loath to lend out its power and has hidden itself away to avoid having to argue about ethics and personal responsibility. Heroes are needed to track it down and persuade it to hand over a single scale. Mythic Effects As a mythic creature, the Prismatic Wyrm causes the following Deific effects. Day of Inspiration. While the Prismatic Wyrm is on a plane, any source of daylight produced on that plane also produces an array of dancing, shifting colors. Additionally, the EPIC LEGACY HERO’S HANDBOOK mythic creatures 305 Prismatic Wyrm

The wyrm cannot be seen by senses other than blindsight or tremorsense unless a creature uses a bonus action to attempt a DC 35 Wisdom (Perception) check. On a success, a creature can see the Prismatic Wyrm until the start of its next turn. A creature with truesight has Epic advantage on this check. Immense. The wyrm is tremendous. It is 200 feet long from snout to tail and has a wingspan of 350 feet. On the battlefield, the wyrm typically occupies a 100-foot-by100-foot space. It can end its movement in a Huge or smaller creature’s or object’s space and does not treat such spaces as difficult terrain. Additionally, on each of its turns, the wyrm can expend 20 feet of movement to deal 100 bludgeoning damage to an unattended object or structure within 5 feet of it. Mythic Resistance. When the wyrm fails a saving throw, it can spend one of its unspent legendary actions to succeed instead. Prismatic Mantle. When the wyrm rolls initiative, it can choose to mantle itself in a magical coat of energy. The mantle consists of eight layers, each of which is a different color and grants the wyrm 300 temporary hit points, for a combined total of 2,400 temporary hit points. While the wyrm has at least one of these hit points and takes damage from a creature, that creature can choose which color to damage. The wyrm gains the following benefits according to which layers are providing temporary hit points. Red.

Other creatures in the affected area must succeed on a DC 33 Constitution saving throw or take 350 (100d6) radiant damage, or half as much on a success. MYTHIC ACTIONS On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the wyrm takes a mythic action to cause one of the following effects. The wyrm cannot cause the same effect multiple times in a row. Inner Light. The prismatic sun within the wyrm blossoms with power. Until the next initiative count of 20, when the wyrm would deal damage to a creature for the first time on a turn, that creature must succeed on a DC 35 Wisdom saving throw or be unable to have resistance or immunity to that damage. Radiant Power. Beams of deadly light lance out from the wyrm in the area of bright light from its Brilliant Radiance feature. The wyrm makes a melee spell attack (+27 to hit) that targets each creature in the affected area. A creature hit by this attack rolls a d8 and takes 50 damage, the type of which is determined by the result of their roll, as detailed in the following table. d8 Damage Type 1 Fire 2 Acid 3 Cold 4 Poison 5 Lightning 6 Force 7 Necrotic 8 Arcane After the wyrm uses this option, the damage of the effect increases by 25, to a maximum of 250 damage. This increased damage is lost if the wyrm finishes a short or long rest. ACTIONS Multiattack. The dragon makes four attacks: one with its Bite, two with its Claws, and one with its Tail.

Each creature in the affected area must succeed on a DC 35 Constitution saving throw or have their bodies purified by the light. A creature so purified has its form stripped of matter, leaving only a luminous reflection. In this state, a creature cannot regain hit points, is vulnerable to all types of damage, and when it makes an attack roll must roll 1d12 and subtract the amount rolled from the result. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Divine Magic (Recharge on a Short or Long rest).
