The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed by the Lordly Toxinscreamer until the Lordly Toxinscreamer dies or until it is on a different plane of existence from the target. The charmed target is under the Lordly Toxinscreamer's control and can't take reactions, and the Lordly Toxinscreamer and the target can communicate telepathically with each other over any distance.
Whenever the charmed target takes damage, the target can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also repeat the saving throw when it is at least 1 mile away from the Lordly Toxinscreamer.
Legendary Actions
------------------------------------------------
The Lordly Toxinscreamer can take 2 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 Lordly Toxinscreamer regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The Lordly Toxinscreamer makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Attack. The Lordly Toxinscreamer makes one Constrict attack.
Lair Actions
------------------------------------------------
When fighting inside its lair, the Lordly Toxinscreamer can take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Lordly Toxinscreamer takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can't use the same lair action two rounds in a row:- The Lordly Toxinscreamer casts phantasmal force (no components required) with a save DC of 13 on any number of creatures it can see within 60 feet of it. While maintaining concentration on this effect, the Lordly Toxinscreamer can't take other lair actions. If a target succeeds on the saving throw or if the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the Lordly Toxinscreamer's phantasmal force lair action for the next 24 hours, although such a creature can choose to be affected.
- Pools of water within 90 feet of the Lordly Toxinscreamer surge outward in a grasping tide. Any creature on the ground within 20 feet of such a pool must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 20 feet into the water and knocked prone. The Lordly Toxinscreamer can't use this lair action again until it has used a different one.
- Energy explodes in a 10-foot radius from a point on the ground the Lordly Toxinscreamer can see within 120 feet of it. Each creature in the area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- The Lordly Toxinscreamer chooses a 10-foot-square area on the ground that it can see within 120 feet of it. The ground in that area turns into 3-foot-deep mud. Each creature on the ground in that area when the mud appears must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or sink into the mud and become restrained. A creature can take an action to attempt a DC 13 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach and ending the restrained condition on a success. Moving 1 foot in the mud costs 2 feet of movement. On initiative count 20 on the next round, the mud hardens, and the Strength DC to work free increases to 18.
