LAIR ACTIONS

On
in itiative count 20 (losing initiative ties),

Demogorgon can take a lair action to cause one of

the following effects; he can't use the same effect two

rounds in a row:

• Demogorgon creates an illusory duplicate of himself,

whic

h appears in his own space and lasts until initia-

tive count 20 of the next round. On his turn, Demogor-

gon can move the illusory duplicate a distance equal

to his walking speed (no action required). The first

time a creature or object interacts physically with De-

mogorgon (for example, by hitting him w ith

an attack),

there is a 50 percent chance that the illu

sory duplicate

is being affected, not Demogorgon h imself, in which

case the illusion disappears.

• Demogorgon casts the darkness
  spell four times at

its lowest level, targeting

d ifferent are as with the

spell. Demogorgon does

n't need to concentrate on

the spells, which

end on initiative count 20 of the

next round.

REGIONAL EFFECTS

T he region containing Demogorgon's lair is warped by

his magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

• The area within 6 miles of the lair becomes overpop-

ulated with lizards, poisonous snakes, and other ven-

omous beasts.

• Beasts within 1 mile of the lair become violent and

crazed- even creatures that are normally docile.

• If a humanoid spends at least 1 hour within 1 mile

of the lair, that creature must succeed on a DC 23

Wisdom saving th row or descend into a madness

determined by the Madness of Demogorgon table. A

creature that succeeds on this saving throw

can't be

affected by this regional effect again for

24 hours.

If Demogorgon dies, these effects fade over the course

of ldlO days.

MADNESS OF DEMOGORGON

If a creature goes mad

in Demogorgon's lair or withi n

line of sight of the demon lord, roll on the Madness of

Demogorgon table to determine the nature of the mad-

ness, which is

a character flaw that lasts until cured.

See the Dungeon

Master's Guide for more on madness.
