If Zikzokrishka fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Zikzokrishka has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Zikzokrishka can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Melee Attack Roll: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 7) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) lightning damage.
Melee Attack Roll: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage.
Melee Attack Roll: +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage.
Each creature of Zikzokrishka's choice that is within 120 feet of the Zikzokrishka and aware of it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Zikzokrishka's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Zikzokrishka exhales lightning in a 90-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Zikzokrishka makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Zikzokrishka makes a tail attack.
Zikzokrishka beats its tattered wings. Each creature within 10 feet of Zikzokrishka must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or take 14 (2d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. After beating its wings this way, Zikzokrishka can fly up to half its flying speed.
