Low-Light Vision

The monster can see in dim light as though it were bright light, so it ignores the Concealed condition due to dim light.

Hallucinatory Scale Dust (aura, illusion, mental)

Aura 30 feet

Fey glamours shed from Qxal's wings like scale dust, causing hallucinations. A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the area must attempt a DC 23 will save.

---

Critical Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to the scale dust for 24 hours.

Success The creature is unaffected.

Failure The creature hallucinates that it is beginning to transform into a plant or animal native to their homeland, becoming either Clumsy 1, Enfeebled 1, or Stupefied 1, at Qxal's choice. The condition lasts for 1 hour. Each time a creature fails this save, Qxal can choose an additional condition.

Critical Failure As failure, but the condition value is 2 (Clumsy 2, Enfeebled 2, or Stupefied 2).

At-Will Spells

The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.

Bloodsoaked Soil (Regeneration 20)

Generations of Bhopanese bloodshed have soaked Bhopan's soil, giving the Thorned Monarch a vast reservoir of energy to sustain their manifestation. As long as the manifestation is touching the soil of Bhopan, it has regeneration 20.

---

This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.

Blood Siphon

Trigger A creature within 60 feet takes Persistent Bleed Damage.

---

Effect The shed blood disperses into a fine mist that the manifestation siphons up with its proboscis. The manifestation regains 12 HP.

Capsize (manipulate)

Requirements The manifestation is standing on the deck of the Unsinkable.

---

Effect The manifestation shakes the ship violently. Trip every foe on the Unsinkable (roll one athletics check and compare the result to each foe's Fortitude DC).

Flutter

The manifestation Flies. Any creature it passes within 30 feet of during its Flutter is exposed to its hallucinatory scale dust.
