Crystal Claws. The crystalline horror’s attacks are magical.
Magic Resistance. The crystalline horror has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Actions
Multiattack. The crystalline horror can make two attacks with its claws.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.
Shard Spray (Recharge 6). The crystalline horror launches a spray of razor-sharp shards of glass from its body in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Reactions
Bend Light. The crystalline horror can refract natural light into a bright light that makes it harder to be hit by melee attacks. The crystalline horror adds 3 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the crystalline horror must see the attack. This ability cannot be used in natural or magical darkness.
