It is a lightless, undersea trench, impossibly vast, dotted with the wreckage of titanic cities, loathsome coral reefs, and volcanic vents. His "palace" is Netherwell, a yawning pit lined with both fabulous eldritch treasures, and the captured souls of those Dagon wishes to torment and consume. Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Dagon takes a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects: Dagon lashes out with his enormous tentacles Each creature within 60 feet of Dagon must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 60 feet away from him. On a success, the creature is pushed 10 feet away from Dagon. Creatures in the water within 60 feet of Dagon have vulnerability to lightning damage until initiative count 20 on the next round. The water in the Dagon’s lair becomes electrically charged. All creatures within 120 feet of Dagon must succeed on a DC 23 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Regional Effects On the Material Plane, the region around Dagon is warped by the creature’s blasphemous presence, creating the following magical effects: Dagon can alter the weather at will in a 6-mile radius centered on himself. The effect is identical to the control weather spell. Water elementals coalesce within 6 miles of Dagon. These elementals can’t leave the water and have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1 (−5). Aquatic creatures within 6 miles of Dagon that have an Intelligence score of 2 or lower are charmed by Dagon and aggressive toward intruders in the area. When Dagon dies, his essence returns to the Abyss and all of these regional effects fade immediately. Monster Tags: DEMON LORD Environment: UNDERWATER We have updated our privacy policy.
