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

Magic Resistance. The catastrophe has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Reality Fracture. When the catastrophe hits a creature with an Anomalous Touch attack, the catastrophe can force the creature to make a DC 20 Charisma saving throw. A creature can only be forced to make this saving throw once on each turn. On a failed save, the creature suffers one of the following effects of the catastrophe’s choice:

• The creature disappears, reappearing at the start of its next turn in the same space it occupied if it’s unoccupied, or the nearest unoccupied space otherwise. From its perspective, no time has passed. If the creature was concentrating on a spell or other magical effect, that effect is suppressed until the creature returns, at which point it resumes as normal. Time spent suppressed in this way doesn’t count against the effect’s duration.

• The creature is teleported up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space of the catastrophe’s choice that the catastrophe can see. The space must be on a surface or in a liquid that can support the creature without the creature having to squeeze.

• The creature takes an extra 5 (1d10) Force damage and gains 1 Paradox Point*.

Actions

Multiattack. The catastrophe makes two Anomalous Touch attacks.

Anomalous Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) Force damage.

Singularity (Recharges After a Short or Long Rest). The catastrophe creates a miniature black hole at a point on the ground within 30 feet of it, which exerts a strong gravitational force in a 60-foot-radius Sphere. Creatures in the sphere other than the catastrophe must spend 2 feet of movement for each 1 foot they travel away from the centre of the sphere. Each creature other than the catastrophe that starts its turn in the area or enters it for the first time on a turn must make a DC 20 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is pulled up to 30 feet towards the centre of the sphere, stopping early if it hits an obstacle of its size or larger.

A creature other than the catastrophe that ends its turn in the sphere takes 3 (1d6) Force damage, plus 3 (1d6) Force damage for each 10 feet closer than 60 feet that it is to the centre of the sphere. A creature reduced to 0 Hit Points by this damage is instantly disintegrated and erased from time. It can only be brought back to life by a Wish spell or similar magic, and creatures that knew it must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or forget that it ever existed.

At the start of each of the catastrophe’s turns, the black hole disappears unless there’s a creature with one or more Paradox Points in the area of the sphere. If this happens, that creature loses 1 Paradox Point and the black hole remains for another turn. If more than one creature has Paradox Points, the catastrophe chooses which one loses a point to sustain the singularity.

Bonus Actions

Teleport. The catastrophe teleports to a space it can see within 30 feet of it.

Reactions

Rewind. Trigger: A creature the catastrophe can see hits it with an attack. Response: The catastrophe forces the creature to reroll the attack roll with Disadvantage.

Legendary Actions

The catastrophe 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 catastrophe regains spent Legendary Actions at the start of its turn.

• Anomalous Touch. The catastrophe makes one Anomalous Touch attack.

• Unravel Space (Costs 2 Actions). The catastrophe chooses up to four creatures other than itself that it can see within 60 feet of it, forcing each one to make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is teleported to an unoccupied space of the catastrophe’s choice within 60 feet of the catastrophe. The space must be on a surface or in a liquid that can support the creature without the creature having to squeeze. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw.

• Unravel Time (Costs 2 Actions). The catastrophe chooses up to four creatures that it can see within 60 feet of it, forcing each one to make a DC 20 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, a creature gains 1d3 Paradox Points*.

Blindsmell. The megalodon’s Blindsight doesn’t function if it can’t smell, or against creatures and objects without a scent.

Blood Frenzy. The megalodon has Advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its Hit Points.

Keen Smell. The megalodon has Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Water Breathing. The megalodon can breathe only underwater.

Actions

Multiattack. The megalodon makes one Bite attack and one Tail attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 29 (4d10 + 7) piercing damage and the target is Grappled (escape DC 19). Until this grapple ends, the megalodon can’t bite another target. If the megalodon hits a Large or smaller creature it’s grappling with a Bite attack, it swallows the creature. A swallowed creature is Blinded and Restrained, has Total Cover against attacks and other effects outside the megalodon, and takes 21 (6d6) Acid damage at the start of each of the megalodon's turns.

The megalodon's stomach can hold up to three creatures at a time. If the megalodon takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from creatures inside it, the megalodon must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, each of which falls Prone in a space within 10 feet of the megalodon. If the megalodon dies, any swallowed creature is no longer Restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting Prone.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (2d10 + 7) Bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from the megalodon.
