This question applies to any creature that goes more than once in a round. Ettins, two-headed trolls, the Karavakos Abomination, or even a character who's been Guileful Switched by the party's Warlord.
Let's say there's an environmental effect - maybe an aura of some sort - which deals 5 damage to every creature on the beginning of their turn.
Should this be applied multiple times to a creature with multiple turns?
The same question applies to ongoing damage - I'm under the assumption that the creature takes the damage again and rolls a save again, but again, I'm not positive.
At any rate, it seems unduly harsh on the poor old ettin. And, in the case of the Karavakos Abomination,
.
How have you handled this in your games? Do you only apply the extra damage or environmental conditions on the monster's first turn every round? Or do you just let it work every turn, more or less double- or triple-hitting anyone unfortunate enough to have multiple actions in a turn?

his room's "feature" seems like it gets to whammy him three times every round
