Is it equivalent to a CR 10?
Does the description and special abilities match the mechanics?
Are there errors in the stat blocks?
A major chaos surge blasts through the region, affecting an Uncontrollable Transformation spell just being cast. An unsuspecting Nkosi stands affected by this event and spell, with the result showing greenish hue furry skin, and a new uncontrollable chaotic nature . This shapechanger now delights in its unpredictability spawning fear, and confusion wherever it goes. It relishes adding more abilities from each defeated foe as its might grows, but fortunately it does have a secret vulnerability.

Shapechanging Chaos The Predathon’s shapechanging is at will (free action) up to 3 times a day (if it chooses), and then requires a short rest. Each shapechange is fueled by the nature of chaos, so it must be chosen randomly from one of it’s defeated foes; roll a d8 and choose; Dau, Drake (Ash), Firebird, Giant Flab, Mngwa, Myconid Deathcap, Ratatosk, Serpopard. Once it transforms, it gains all the new hit points, abilities, skills, class, race, languages, saves, and spells, if applicable and able. The Predathon does not regain any of its original abilities when shapechanged. If it’s reduced to 0 hit points, then the creature is returned to its original form with any extra damage added to the original form’s hit point total. The Predathon can choose whether to hold, drop, or wear equipment while shapechanging. If wearing equipment then it will function as normal. The GM can choose if it’s practical to wear or use the equipment. When reverting back to normal form it reverts back to its previous hit points, plus any current added damage. The Predathon is still vulnerable to thunder damage regardless of the new shape’s abilities.
