If a creature starts its turn within 100 feet of the uktena and can see the uktena, the uktena can force the creature to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, becoming compelled on a failed save, or take 1d10 psychic plus 1d10 radiant damage on a successful one. A compelled creature is Incapacitated and can only move towards the uktena with all its speed, stopping only when it is adjacent to the uktena.  A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this uktena's Aura of Brilliance for the next 24 hours.Horned Serpent (Elite Trait, 1/Rest).

An damage taken in this illusion is sustained as psychic damage. The best way to stage this imaginary combat is to have a familiar NPC from the PCs past, and that is hostile towards them, suddenly appear. Even if this NPC is dead, it could remind them that they just "defeated" the guardian of the gates of death (the uktena) and this has allowed the NPC to return for their revenge. This NPC should have a CR roughly equal to the PCs average level. Each round of imaginary combat the PCs make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. Once the illusory NPC dies, or all PCs have make their save, the illusion ends. The uktena cannot take any actions while it has targets trapped in its Dream Sequence.</td></tr></table></blockquote>
