Abilities & Attacks
Saving Throws: +1 status to all saves vs. magic Telepathy 100 feet (aura, magical, mental). A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language.

Thoughtsense allows a monster to sense all non-mindless creatures at the listed range. +1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic Greater Constrict (1 action). 1d10+10 bludgeoning plus 1d8 electricity, DC 32 basic Fortitude save. The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC. A creature that fails this save falls Unconscious, and a creature that succeeds is then temporarily immune to falling unconscious from Greater Constrict for 1 minute.

The weapon is always a +2 greater striking flaming shock weapon and can be of any size, chosen by the xiuh coatl when they transform.

The xiuh coatl can Sustain to revert to their normal form. Volcanic Lightning Breath (2 actions) (fire, primal).
