Special Traits

  • Brute. A melee weapon deals one extra die of its damage when the muspelrisi hits with it (included in the attack).
  • Dive Attack. If the muspelrisi is flying and dives at least 30 feet toward a target and then hits with a beak attack, the attack deals an extra 10 (3d6) damage to the target.
  • Spellcasting. The muspelrisi is a 7th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). It knows the following sorcerer spells:
  • Magic Resistance. The muspelrisi has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
  • Shapechanger. The muspelrisi can use its action to polymorph into a giant eagle (10 ft., fly 80 ft.), or back into its giant form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its giant form if it dies.

Reactions

  • Burning Rebuke. When the muspelrisi takes damage from a creature the muspelrisi can see within 60 feet of it, the muspelrisi can force that creature to succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or take 11 (2d10) fire damage.
