Serpentine Gillian[edit]
Gargantuan undead (Hollow), unaligned Armor Class 17 (Natural Armor)
Saving Throws Dex +8, Wis +7 Serpentine Form. Creatures grappled by the Serpentine Gillian are also restrained. 'Constrict.' Once you get a hit in, it is much easier to corner your prey. As part of hitting a bite attack, the Serpentine Gillian may make a grapple check. Slender Body. Your slender, serpentine body grants you a +2 bonus to grapple or escape a grapple, and you are able to shrink and pass through spaces that only a creature of one smaller size category than you would be able to. Advanced Form. After performing a physical Saving Throw (Strength, Dexterity or Constitution) or being the target of an attack, The Serpentine Gillian, knowing the result, may use its Reaction to peel away, increasing the saving throw result or its AC by +3 until the end of the current turn. In addition, your bonus for grappling or escaping grapples becomes a +4. 'Venomous.' Like most serpents, the Serpentine Gillian is also extremely venomous. Whenever the Serpentine Gillian hits a creature with an unarmed strike or natural weapon attack, the creature is forced to make a Constitution saving throw (DC16). On a failure, they take additional poison damage equal to your proficiency bonus. Reiryoku. The Serpentine Gillian has 55 Reiryoku points. Every time they use a reiryoku point it is spent. They recover all Reiryoku points lost at the end of a long rest. Hollow Regeneration. While the Serpentine Gillian is in the Hueco Mundo plane, it will regain 6 (1d10) hit points at the beginning of every minute that passes. Siege Monster. The Serpentine Gillian deals twice as much damage to objects and structures. Reiatsu-Empowered Strikes. The Serpentine Gillian's unarmed strikes are considered magical. 'Evasion. Whenever the Serpentine Gillian is subject to an effect that forces it to make a Dexterity saving throw, it takes half as much damage on a failure and no damage on a success. Cuerpo Autosuficiente.' The Serpentine Gillian has advantage on all Constitution checks and saving throws. High Speed Regeneration. At the start of each of its turns, the Serpentine Gillian regains 5 hit points, as long as it has at least 1 hit point and 1 Reiryoku. Piel Áspera. The Serpentine Gillian reduces all damage by an amount equal to its proficiency bonus (4), reducing all damages outside of psychic by said value. ACTIONSMultiattack. The Serpentine Gillian makes three bite attacks. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. Massive Slam. The Serpentine Gillian targets everyone within 20 feet of you with this attack. The Serpentine Gillian makes a bite attack roll, all targets which AC is equal to or less than the total for the attack roll are hit. This also applies if it was a critical hit. If the target is hit, they must make a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from the Serpentine Gillian. Cero. As an action the Serpentine Gillian spends 15 Reiryoku, firing off a beam of energy in a 10 foot wide, 120 foot long line. Each creature within that area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, they take 38 (4d8+20) force damage. On a success, they’re able to use their movement (taking from their next turn’s movement) to avoid the attack, taking half as much damage if they end their movement outside of the area. They can use movement increasing abilities that don’t cost an action or bonus action during this movement, if necessary. If a creature doesn’t have enough movement to avoid the effect, they automatically fail. If a creature has a feature that makes their successes no damage and their failures half as much, they only take no damage on a successful save, while a failed save is always full damage. Garganta. As an action for 10 Reiryoku, the Serpentine Gillian opens a portal between dimensions around itself, sending it to Hueco Mundo. If it does not move more than 5 feet or lose concentration, it is transported to any location it can visualize in Hueco Mundo or a random location on the plane, or to the last place it has used Garganta, at the beginning of its next turn. If the Serpentine Gillian is already within Heuco Mundo, this portal instead works as if it were the gate spell, except that it cannot pull a creature through the gate.
