Electricity. If a creature attacks the lighting weird with a melee weapon, that creature takes 9 (2d8) lightning damage.

Lightning Mote. A lightning weird’s mote is a crackling, dancing, arcing, ball of electricity that occupies a 5-foot space. Creatures that start their turn within 5 feet of the lightning mote take 13 (3d8) lightning damage; creatures wearing metal armor must make a successful DC 15 Constitution saving throw if they take lightning damage from being near the mote. On a failed saving throw, the target is stunned until the end of its next turn. The lightning can move its mote up to 30 ft. as a bonus action. The mote must remain within 90 ft.

Reform. When reduced to 0 hit points, a lightning weird collapses back into its pool. Four rounds later, it reforms at full strength minus any damage taken from fire-based attacks and effects (including attacks by earth or fire elemental creatures).

Transparent. Even when the lightning weird is in plain sight, it takes a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a lightning weird that has neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter the lightning weird’s space while unaware of the lightning weird is surprised by the lightning weird.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) lightning damage.

Command Elemental. One air elemental that the lightning weird can see within 60 feet of it must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the air elemental is charmed for 1 minute. While charmed, the air elemental follows the lightning weird’s commands.
