Brugzor

Dr. Aldric Venn, a brilliant but increasingly unhinged naturalist, named his most chaotic creation after his estranged father—a man who had always encouraged him to push beyond the boundaries of reason. What began as a simple serpent became something far more volatile when Aldric grafted griffin essence into its bloodstream, causing scaled leonine limbs to erupt from its body in a grotesque fusion of reptilian and mammalian forms. Obsessed with perfecting his work, Aldric took the final, reckless step of introducing phoenix ash directly into the creature's veins, triggering a transformation that should have killed the beast outright. Instead, magnificent wings tore through Brugzor's back, wreathed in flames that danced between orange and blue in a mesmerizing display of primal fire that never consumed him. The creature that emerged was neither wholly animal nor construct, but something caught between states of existence—a living embodiment of Aldric's unchecked ambition and his need to resurrect his father's legacy through creation rather than reconciliation. Brugzor inherited his creator's chaotic nature, following no law but his own hunger and impulse, a magnificent and terrible monument to one man's obsession with transcending the natural order.

Multiattack

Brugzor makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.

Fiery Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d10 + 4 piercing damage plus 3d6 fire damage.

Claw Swipe

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 2d8 + 4 slashing damage.

Wing Buffet

Brugzor flaps its wings, creating a gust of wind. Each creature within 15 ft. must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or take 3d6 bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.

Phoenix Flame

Brugzor unleashes a 30-ft. cone of fire. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Once used, this action cannot be used again until Brugzor finishes a short or long rest.

Flame Wings

Brugzor's wings are wreathed in flames, granting him immunity to fire damage.

Chaotic Presence

Creatures within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of their next turn.
