The cradle is a container for the scion of Stronmaus. When the cradle drops to 0 hit points, its body bursts into light. The scion instantly appears in the space the cradle occupied and uses the cradle's initiative count.
If the cradle fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
The cradle has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
The cradle deals double damage to objects and structures.
The cradle makes three Slam or Spit Hailstone attacks in any combination.
Melee Attack Roll: +18 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 36 (4d12 + 10) bludgeoning damage plus 19 (3d12) lightning damage.
Ranged Attack Roll: +18 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 32 (4d10 + 10) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) cold damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 26 Strength saving throw or have the prone condition.
The cradle hurls multiple magical lightning bolts at up to two creatures it can see within 500 feet of itself. Each target must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 71 (11d12) lightning damage and has the stunned condition until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage only.
Immediately after taking damage, the cradle cracks with thunder and then magically teleports up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space it can see. Each creature within 10 feet of the space the cradle left must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
