Thank you for your answer, I really like your work.

Glad to hear it! Just be aware that it will be a while before I get to the Abrahamic Mythos. I at least plan to tackle the Greek and Norse Mythos first.

OK, I took some of your suggestions and give you version 2: the Greater Mummy

Looking good!

One nitpick... sandy teleport doesn't have a recharge but that's noted in the legendary action section.

I've also another question, will you make stats for great old ones like Cthulhu, yog sothoth or Tawil at Umr , they have stats in pathfinder but I think that with the elite monsters system they would be awesome in d&d.

Just wanted to chime in and say that this is an amazing resource, @dave2008 . I'm always excited to see new entries.

corrected. Sandy teleport used to be a bonus action with a recharge. Thank you catching that and the help!

Yes, I already made stats for them in my old thread: 5e Epic Updates; however, those are very old now and will eventually be updated in ACENSION to the new format (and be much tougher too).

Azalin Rex
Elite Medium undead, neutral evil


Spellcasting. Azalin is an 18th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 20, +12 to hit with spell attacks). Azalin has the following wizard spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): mage hand, prestidigitation, ray of frost**
1st level (4 slots): detect magic, magic missile, shield,** thunderwave
2nd level (3 slots): detect thoughts, invisibility, melf's acid arrow, mirror image*
3rd level (3 slots): animate dead, counterspell, dispel magic, fireball, fly
4th level (3 slots): blight, dimension door
5th level (3 slots): cloudkill, scrying
6th level (1 slot): disintegrate,** globe of invulnerability
7th level (1 slot): finger of death, plane shift
8th level (1 slot): dominate monster, power word stun
9th level (1 slot): power word kill

Evocation spells are in bold text, Azalin gains a +5 damage bonus with these spells.
*Azalin casts these spells on himself before combat and his CR assumes they are in effect.
**See Actions, Azalin's CR assumes he attacks with these spells, cast at the highest possible level when noted.

So I'm not quite sure what is going on here. Are you saying for example that you expect Azalin to cast a 9th level version of globe of invul? and then thunderwave at 8th level?

Until you die!

I added that because awhile back a learned that because of their manes, male lions try to bite their rivals back. Potentially breaking the spine and paralyzing the opposing lion. That is what I was going for. So, the intent is that only magic the removes the paralyzed condition ends it.
