roots and hailstorm of boulders

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Vinushka fails a saving throw,
they can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. Vinushka has advantage on saving throws
against spells and other magical effects.
Grasping Roots. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 30ft.,
one target. the target is grappled (escape DC 23). Until this
grapple ends, the creature is restrained. Until the grapple ends,
the target takes 20 (3d12) bludgeoning damage at the start of
each of its turns.

Magic Weapons. Vinushka’s weapon attacks are magical.
Nature Itself. Natural terrain (such as grass, earth, unworked
stone, water, or the air) within 30 ft. of Vinushka is difficult
terrain for those hostile to them, as their presence mold the
world to its advanatage
Regrowth. When Vinushkais starts their turn they regain 20 hit
points. This trait does not activate if Vinushka starts their turn
with zero hit points, or if they start their turn in a man made
location or structure such as a city, a mine, or boat.
Hailstorm of Boulders. Vinushka reaches into the earth as if it
were water and draws forth several boulders, then chooses a
point within 480 ft. of themself, and makes a boulder attack at
each creature within 15ft. of that point.
Boulder. Ranged Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, range 120/480 ft.,
one target. Hit: 34 (4d12 + 8) bludgeoning damage, and the
target must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be
knocked prone.
Lair Actions
Vinushka is nature itself, from the erupting volcano that
burns away the forest, to the gentle breeze that cools
the animal after a hunt. As such Vinushka can use Lair
Actions so long as they are in nature. Vinushka only
loses access to Lair Actions when they are in an
unnatural location, such as a Building, a Mine, or even a
City.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Vinushka
takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects;
Vinushka can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
Howling Gales: Vinushka whips the air within 60 ft.
of themselves into a near hurricane until initiative
count 20 on the next round. All fires in the area are
extinguished, all fogs, gasses, and vapors are
dispersed, and any creature flying in the area must
land by the end of their turn or fall. Any ranged
attack that passes throught the gale automatically
misses.
Wake the Forest: Vinushka magically animates one
or two trees they can see within 60 feet of
themselves. These trees have the same statistics as a
treant (MM289), except they have Intelligence and
Charisma scores of 1, they can’t speak, and they
have only the Slam action option. An animated tree
acts as an ally of Vinushka. The tree remains
animate for 1 day or until it dies; until the tree dies or
is more than 120 feet from Vinushka; or until
Vinushka takes a bonus action to turn it back into an
inanimate tree. The tree then takes root if possible.
Vinushka cannot have more than Two (2) trees
animated at one time.
Surging Tides: Pools of water in the lair surge
outward in a grasping tide. Any creature within 20
feet of such a pool must succeed on a DC 23
Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 20 feet into
the water and knocked prone.
Raging Fires: Any fires in the lair flare up drastically,
quadrupling in size (for example, a fire blazing in a 5-
foot by 5-foot area expands to a 10-foot by 10-foot
area). Pools or streams of lava or other molten
material are also affected. Creatures caught in the
area of an expanded fire are subject to the normal
damage for entering or being in the fire. Creatures
caught by a sudden flood of lava must succeed on a
DC 23 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone,
in addition to the normal damage for contact with
molten rock.
Booing Heavens: Vinushka creates a thunderclap
centered on a point anywhere in their lair. Each
creature within 20 feet of that point must succeed on
a DC 23 Constitution saving throw or be deafened
until the end of its next turn.
Sudden Sinkhole: Vinushka chooses a point on the
ground that they can see within 120 feet of
themselves. A 5-foot-radius, 20-foot-deep pit forms
centered on that point. A creature on the ground
above where the pit formed must make a DC 23
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature
falls to the bottom of the pit, taking 7 (2d6)
bludgeoning damage and landing prone. On a
successful save, a creature moves to the nearest
unoccupied space instead of falling in the pit.
Roots that Reap
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: M, V, S (A fistful of bark)
Duration: Instantaneous
A tangle of roots erupts from a point you choose within
range. Each creature in a 5-foot-radius, 10-foot-high
cylinder centered on that point must make a Dexterity
saving throw. A creature takes 4d6 bludgeoning damage
and have its ribs broken on a failed save, or half as
much damage not having its ribs broken on a successful
one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by
1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
Broken Ribs
Whenever a creature with broken ribs attempts an action
in combat, it must make a DC 10 Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, is loses its action and can’t use
reactions until the start of its next turn.
The injury heals if the creature receives magical healing or
if they spend ten days doing nothing but resting.
Disease: Brain flower infestation
A creature infested with brain flower spores quickly loses
contol over its own body. At the start of their turns the
creature must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save the creature must move towards the nearest living
creature it can see, and attempts to kill. on a succesful save
the creature doesn’t make any further saves for one minute.
While infested, at the end of every hour the creature must
make a DC 12 constitution saving throw, losing 1d4
intelligence and charisma on a failure. Once the creatures
charisma reaches 0 a brain flower sprouts from the upper
half of their body, typically from the eye, or the shoulder
Variant Actions
Since Vinushka is all of nature, they should naturally
have a few more options besides tossing boulders or
using plants to attack. Originally i wanted them to have
appropriate options for every biome that they would
only have access to while IN that biome, replacing
grasping roots if no trees were around for example.
Sadly there just isn’t enough room in one block to
represent every way nature could kill you.
To remedy this i’ve decided to put these other murder
methods here. Each option will be organized by which
action they replace in Vinushka’s multiattack, and they -
SHOULDN’T- change Vinushka’s CR, though i admit
due to exhaustion i may have miscalculated. if you want
to play it safe, consider them CR 27 when using these
options, especially those that replace Hailstorm of
Boulders..
You can use as many of these additional abilities as
you like when running Vinushka, just try to keep it in
theme with the local area, unless you want them to
spawn magma pillars in a meadow, it’s your game after
all. using muliple abilities will increase Vinushka’s CR
to 27.
Replaces: Grasping Roots
Jagged Earth. Vinushka causes the ground in a 20-foot square
within 120 feet of themselves to sprout crystal spikes until
the start of their next turn. The area becomes difficult terrain
for the duration. A creature takes 10 (3d6) piercing damage
for every 5 feet it moves on this terrain.
Waterspout. Ranged Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, range 120 ft.,
one target. Hit: 40 (9d8) bludgeoning damage, and the target
is knocked prone if it fails a DC 23 Strength saving throw.
Hypothermia. An arctic chill runs through a creature within
120ft. of Vinushka. The creature must make a DC 23
Constitution saving throw or take 35 (10d6) Cold damage
and suffer a level of exhaustion from the cold as if exposed to
extreme cold. On a succesful saving throw a creature takes
half damage and does not gain a level of exhaustion.
Volcanic Venting. The ground cracks at a point of Vinushka’s
choosing within 120 ft. of themselves, releasing volcanic
gasses in a 20 ft.radius sphere. Each creature in the area
must make a DC 23 Constitution saving throw,taking 20
(8d4) poison damage and being poisoned until the end of
their next turn on a failed save. On a succesful save they take
half the damage and are not poisoned.
Replaces: Hailstorm of Boulders
Mudslide (Recharge 5-6). Vinushka magically creates a wave of
mud that extends from a point on the ground within 120 ft.
of themselves. The wave is up to 30 ft. long, up to 30 ft. tall,
and up to 30 ft. wide. Each creature in the wave must make a
DC 23 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature
takes 55 (10d10) bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone,
and is buried under thick mud. On a successful save, a
creature takes half as much damage and is not buried. A
buried creature has the restrained condition, has total cover,
and can’t breathe. As an action, a creature buried in this way,
or another creature within 5 feet of it that isn’t buried, can
make a DC 17 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful
check, the buried creature no longer has the prone or
restrained conditions.
Riptide. Vinushka magically creates an unnaturally powerful
current in a body of water within 120 ft. of themselves. the
current is a line 120 ft. long, 15 ft. wide, and can be oriented
in any direction of Vinushkas choosing, including straight
down. Each creature in the line must make a DC 23 Strenght
saving throw or take 27 (6d8) Bludgeoning damage or be
pulled 60 ft. along the line. On a succesful save a creature
takes half the damage and is pulled only 15 ft.
Walking Avalanche (Recharge 5-6). Vinushka digs their hands
into the ground at a point they can see within 30 ft. of
themselves and launches a magically conjured mass of ice
into the air. Each creature other than Vinushka in a 30-ft.-
radius, 100-ft.-high cylinder centered on that point must
make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes 18 (4d8) bludgeoning damage plus 19 (3d12)
cold damage and is pushed vertically to the top of the
cylinder, at which point the creature falls. On a successful
save, a creature takes half as much damage and is pushed to
the nearest unoccupied space outside the cylinder with no
additional effects. At the start of Vinushka’s next turn, a
mass of ice plummets to the ground on a point Vinushka can
see within 60 feet of the point they dug their hands into. Each
creature in a 30-ft.-radius, 100-ft.-high cylinder centered on
that point must succeed on a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw
or take 18 (4d8) bludgeoning damage plus 18 (4d8) cold
damage.
Pyroclastic Eruption (Recharge 5-6). Vinushka causes the
ground at a point they can see within 120 ft. of themselves to
erupt with a spectacular display of magma. Each creature in
a 30-foot-radius, 100-foot-high cylinder centered on that
point must make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed
save, a creature takes 65 (10d12) fire damage and is ignited.
An ignited creature takes 7 (1d12) fire damage at the
beggining of its turns until it or another creature uses their
action todouse the flames. On a successful save, a creature
takes half as much damage and is not ignited. At the start of
Vinushka’s next turn, a mass molten rock rains over a point
Vinushka can see within 60 feet of the point that erupted.
Each creature in a 30-foot-radius, 100-foot-high cylinder
centered on that point must succeed on a DC 23 Dexterity
saving throw or take 32 (5d12) fire damage and be coated in
molten rock. A coated creature is restrained as the rock cools
and hardens.
As an action, the restrained target, or a creature within 5ft.
