Chromatic Dragon (Elite Trait, recharges after a Short or Long Rest). When Takhisis is first
bloodied, all conditions and effects she is suffering end for her, all of her abilities recharge, and she can use her elite actions.
Colossal. Takhisis’s space is 100 feet by 100 feet and any creature Huge or smaller can enter her space and must do so to hit her with an attack with a reach or range of 15 feet or less. Additionally, any creature adjacent to a Medium or smaller target that is hit by one of Takhisis’s melee attacks must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage as the initial target. A creature that enters or starts its turn in her space, must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw or be hit by her claw attack. A creature in Takhisis's space has advantage on attacks that target he AC.
Colossal Monster. Takhisis deals double damage to objects, structures, and creatures of Large size or larger.
Divine Resistance (5/Rest). If Takhisis fails a saving throw, she can spend a Divine Action, if she has any available, to succeed instead.
Divine Might. Takhisis is immune to all damage unless the attack or effect inflicts more than 10 hit points of damage, in which case she takes damage as normal.* Takhisis's attacks ignore all resistances of creatures below level/CR 20 and she scores a critical hit on a roll of 18 or greater. Additionally, if a creature fails a saving throw for one of her breathweapons by 10 or more (DC 17) the creature takes maximum damage from the breathweapon.

Divine Nature. Takhisis can’t be surprised or changed into another form against her will. Takhisis can’t be targeted by divination magic, perceived through magical scrying sensors, and is immune to any effect that would sense her emotions or read her thoughts.

If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Takhisis’s Majestic Presence for the next hour.
