The forest emperor has advantage on  Dexterity  ( Stealth ) checks made to  hide  in forest terrain. \n'b'  Keen Smell . The forest emperor has advantage on  Wisdom  ( Perception ) checks that rely on smell. \n'b'  Rattle . The forest emperor constantly rattles its tail when in combat. Each creature that starts its turn within 60 feet of the forest emperor and that can hear it must succeed on a DC 18  Wisdom  saving throw or become  frightened  until the start of its next turn. A creature that succeeds on two saving throws is unaffected by the forest emperor\xe2\x80\x99s rattle for the next 24 hours. \n'b'\n'b' Actions \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The forest emperor makes two claw attacks and one tail  attack . If both claws hit the same target, the target must succeed on a DC 18  Constitution  saving throw or its  hp  maximum is reduced by 7 (2d6) and the forest emperor regains  hp  equal to this amount. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a  long rest . The target dies if this effect reduces its  hp  maximum to 0. \n'b'  Acidic Claw .  Melee Weapon Attack : +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.  Hit : 16 (3d6 + 6) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) acid damage. \n'b'  Tail .  Melee Weapon Attack : +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.  Hit : 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage. \n'b'  Toxic Nectar Spray (Recharge 5-6) . The forest emperor sprays a 60-foot cone of acid from its flower-ringed eye pits. Creatures in the path of this cone must make a DC 18  Dexterity  saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \n'b'\n'b' About \n'b' The smell of freshly turned soil and bubbling sulfur accompanies this terrible monster, an amalgam of wood and flesh vaguely reminiscent of a giant  centaur  with bony wooden limbs. Vast draconic wings sprout from the creature\xe2\x80\x99s back, and it bears a serpentine tail ending in a cone-shaped rattle. \n'b'  Born of Dragons . When a particularly hardy child of Yggdrasil comes across the still-fresh corpse of an adult or older dragon, it attempts to devour the dragon\xe2\x80\x99s heart and metamorphose into a larger and more vicious aberration known as a forest emperor. This process takes one week, and, while transforming, the child of Yggdrasil spins a thick green cocoon of acidic vines around itself. When the forest emperor finally emerges, it is close to starving and attacks and devours any creature that comes within reach of its terrible, gnarled limbs. \n'b'  Continually Growing . Forest emperors never stop growing, and specimens of gargantuan  size  have been found residing in the most desolate and treacherous forests and mountains, often in the lairs of dragons they have consumed. Unusually powerful forest emperors have even made it as far as the tangled roots of the World Tree itself, spending their time communing with evil fey spirits and the terrible serpents said to twine about its boughs.'
