Ambusher. In the first round of combat, or any time the targets lose sight of the hulk, and he is higher in the initiative order (including if characters delay their turns) the ebon hulk has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it surprised or moved ahead. Confusing Gaze. When a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the hulk and can see its eyes, the ebon hulk can magically force it to make a DC 18 Charisma saving throw, unless the ebon hulk is incapacitated. On a failed saving throw, one of the following effects occurs (the ebon hulk chooses or rolls randomly):
- Insanity Gaze. The target can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during that turn. On a 1 to 4, the creature does nothing. On a 5 or 6, the creature takes no action but uses all its movement to move in a random direction. On a 7 or 8, the creature makes one melee attack against a random creature, or it does nothing if no creature is within reach.
- Beguiling Gaze. The target is stunned until the start of the hulk’s next turn or until the ebon hulk is no longer within line of sight.
- Hypnotic Gaze. The target is charmed by the ebon hulk until the start of the hulk’s next turn. The ebon hulk chooses how the charmed target uses its actions, reactions, and movement.
Actions
Multiattack. The hulk makes three attacks: two with his claws and one with his mandibles. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: 1d20+10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 ( 1d8+5 ) slashing damage plus 16 ( 3d10 ) poison (radiation) damage. Mandibles. Melee Weapon Attack: 1d20+10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 ( 2d8+5 ) slashing damage. Gloomium Breath (Recharge 5–6). The hulk vomits radiation in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 ( 10d8 ) radiation damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Rock Breath (Recharge 5–6). The hulk exhales a rocky blast in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 ( 10d8 ) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Bonus Action
Rock Throw. Ranged Weapon Attack: 1d0+8 to hit, range 30 ft., one target. Hit: 9 ( 1d8+5 ) bludgeoning damage, and the target is blinded until the end of its next turn (this grants the hulk advantage on its attacks against the blinded target).Reactions
Bloody Breath. When first bloodied, the hulk's breath weapons recharge, and he uses one of them.
Legendary Actions
The hulk can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The hulk regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
- Earth Wave. The hulk can use its speed (including burrowing). This action does not provoke opportunity attacks and does not leave a tunnel.
- Rocks fall, you die. The hulk causes a 10 foot sphere to cave-in (DEX| 3d10 Bldg).*]
- Radiare Strike. The hulk makes a claw attack; this attack does an additional 15 ( 2d6+8 ) radiation damage to the target. If the target mutates due to this attack, it is also confused until the end of its next round (as the insanity gaze trait).
