Ambusher. The doppelganger has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Read Thoughts. The doppelganger magically reads the surface thoughts of one creature within 60 feet of it. The effect can penetrate barriers, but 3 feet of wood or dirt, 2 feet of stone, 2 inches of metal, or a thin sheet of lead blocks it. While the target is in range, the doppelganger can continue reading its thoughts, as long as the doppelganger's concentration isn't broken (as if concentrating on a spell). While reading the target's mind, the doppelganger has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion) checks against the target.

Doppelgangers are devious shapeshifters that take on the appearance of other humanoids, throwing off pursuit or luring victims to their doom with misdirection and disguise.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the lich fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Rejuvenation. If it has a phylactery, a destroyed lich gains a new body in 1d10 days, regaining all its hit points and becoming active again. The new body appears within 5 feet of the phylactery.

Turn Resistance. The lich has advantage on saving throws against any effect that turns undead.

Spellcasting. Lich is a 18th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 20, +12 to hit with spell attacks). It has the following spells prepared:

Actions

Paralyzing Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) cold damage. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Legendary Actions

The lich can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The lich regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Cantrip. The lich casts a cantrip.

Paralyzing Touch (Costs 2 Actions). The lich uses its Paralyzing Touch.

Frightening Gaze (Costs 2 Actions). The lich fixes its gaze on one creature it can see within 10 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened for 1 minute.

Disrupt Life (Costs 3 Actions). Each non-undead creature within 20 feet of the lich must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw against this magic, taking 21 (6d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Lair

A lich often haunts the abode it favored in life, such as a lonely tower, a ## college, or a crypt. Alternatively, some liches construct secret tombs filled with powerful guardians and traps.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the creature can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

Tether. The lich rolls a d8 and regains a spell slot of that level or lower. If it has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
Summon Spirits. The lich targets one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. A crackling cord of negative energy tethers the lich to the target. Whenever the lich takes damage, the target must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the lich takes half the damage (rounded down), and the target takes the remaining damage.
Chill. The lich calls forth the spirits of creatures that died in its lair. These spectral apparitions fill a 10-foot cube centered on a point within 60 feet of the lich. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) cold damage.

Regional Effects

The region containing the creature's lair is warped by its magic, creating the following effects:

Creatures within 1 mile of the lair have disturbing dreams when they sleep.
Food and water within 1 mile of the lair rot, and any corpses in that area reanimate as skeletons or zombies at the lich's will.
Divination spells cast within the lair reveal false information.

If the lich is destroyed but its phylactery remains, the regional effects persist until the phylactery is also destroyed.

Liches are the remains of great wizards who embrace undeath as a means of preserving themselves. They further their own power at any cost, having no interest in the affairs of the living except where those affairs interfere with their own.

On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't deafened or stunned.

Bonus Actions

Storm Step. Zephyros teleports, along with any equipment he is wearing or carrying, up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space he can see. Thunder rumbles at both his origin and destination.

Reactions

Deflect Attack. In response to being hit by a ranged weapon attack, Zephyros deflects the missile. The damage he takes from the attack is reduced by 28 (4d10 + 6). If the damage is reduced to 0, Zephyros can hurl the projectile back at the attacker as part of the same reaction, making a ranged attack with a +18 bonus.

Lightning Rebuke. When a creature within 60 feet of Zephyros deals damage to him, Zephyros can force that creature to make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 22 (4d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

Zephyros can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Zephyros regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Attack. Zephyros makes one thunderbolt or slam attack.

Mythic Trait

Avatar of the Storm (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Zephyros is reduced to 0 hit points, he doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, he regains 231 hit points, his Storm Aura's damage increases to 21 (6d6), and he can immediately use Storm Step without using a reaction. While in this form, Zephyros's attacks deal an additional 14 (4d6) lightning damage.

Mythic Actions

If the creature's mythic trait is active, it can use the options below as legendary actions.

Tempest Fury. Zephyros makes two thunderbolt attacks.

Eye of the Storm (Costs 2 Actions). Zephyros creates a 60-foot-radius sphere of calm air centered on himself until the start of his next turn. Within this area, ranged weapon attacks automatically miss, and creatures have resistance to lightning and thunder damage.

Lair

Zephyros makes his lair atop the highest peak of a storm-wracked mountain range, in a palace of clouds and crystallized lightning known as the Tempest Spire.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the creature can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

Lightning Strike. A bolt of lightning strikes a point Zephyros can see within 120 feet of him. Each creature within 10 feet of that point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (5d8) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Gale Force. A powerful wind sweeps through the lair. Each creature within 60 feet of Zephyros must succeed on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet away from him and knocked prone.
Fog Cloud. A 30-foot-radius sphere of fog appears centered on a point Zephyros can see within 120 feet of him. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.

Regional Effects

The region containing the creature's lair is warped by its magic, creating the following effects:

Thunderstorms are common within 6 miles of the lair. These storms don't directly impede flight but reduce visibility.
Strong winds in the region make ranged weapon attacks with ammunition impossible beyond normal range.
Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are charged with electricity. A creature that enters the water or starts its turn there takes 5 (1d10) lightning damage.
Creatures within 1 mile of the lair can't be surprised by thunder or lightning effects and have advantage on saving throws against being deafened.

If Zephyros dies, the regional effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

Zephyros is an ancient storm titan who has watched civilizations rise and fall from his palace among the clouds. He is capricious and unpredictable, like the storms he commands.

Though not inherently evil, Zephyros cares little for the affairs of smaller creatures. He may aid or hinder adventurers on a whim, or simply because the winds told him to.
