Kraken

Lair Actions

Source: Monster Manual

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the kraken takes a lair action to cause one of the following magical effects:

• A strong current moves through the kraken’s lair. Each creature within 60 feet of the kraken must succeed on a DC 23 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 60 feet away from the kraken. On a success, the creature is pushed 10 feet away from the kraken.
• Creatures in the water within 60 feet of the kraken have vulnerability to lightning damage until initiative count 20 on the next round.
• The water in the kraken’s lair becomes electrically charged. All creatures within 120 feet of the kraken must succeed on a DC 23 Constitution saving throw, taking dice:3d6|noform|noparens|avg|text(10) (3d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Regional Effects

Source: Monster Manual

The region containing a kraken’s lair is warped by the creature’s blasphemous presence, creating the following magical effects:

• The kraken can alter the weather at will in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The effect is identical to the control weather spell.
• Water elementals coalesce within 6 miles of the lair. These elementals can’t leave the water and have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1 (-5).
• Aquatic creatures within 6 miles of the lair that have an Intelligence score of 2 or lower are charmed by the kraken and aggressive toward intruders in the area.

When the kraken dies, all of these regional effects fade immediately.
