Description:
The Vorrithan is an ancient fiend birthed from the Abyss itself, a floating mass of pulsing flesh and twisted bone. Its many mouths drip with ichor, and its deep, resonating voice carries whispers of corruption. A creature of malice and grotesque artistry, the Vorrithan takes pleasure in warping the flesh and minds of its enemies, reveling in their despair as their very forms betray them.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Vorrithan fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Unholy Ichor (Recharge 5–6). The Vorrithan spews forth a pool of corrosive ichor in a 20-foot radius centered on itself. Each creature in the area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. The area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute.

The Vorrithan 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 Vorrithan regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
