Out of the Abyss

LAIR ACTIONS

On Initiative <·ount 20 (losing initiative ties),

Dcmogorgon can take a lair action to cau!:>e one of the

following effects: Dcmogorgon can't usc the same effect

two rounds in a row:

• Ocmogorgon creates an illusory duplicate of him-
  self, which appears in his own space and lasts until
  initiative count 20 of the next round. On his turn, De-
  mogorgon 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
  Demogorgon (for example. hitting him with an attack).
  there is a 50 percent chance that it is the illusory du-
  plicate that is being affected, not Oemogorgon himself,
  in which case the illusion disappears.


• Oemogorgon casts the darkness spell four times at its
  lowest level, targeting different areas with the spell.
  Demogorgon doesn't need to concentrate on the spells,
  which end on initiative count 20 of the next round.

REGIONAL EFFECTS

The 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 I hour within 1 mile
  of the lair, that creature must succeed on a DC 23
  Wisdom saving throw 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.

IfDemogorgon dies. these effects fade over the course
of l dlO days.
