LAIR ACTIONS
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties),
Demogorgon can take a lair action to cause one of
the following effects; he can't use the same effect two
rounds in a row:
• Demogorgon creates an illusory duplicate of himself,
which appears in his own space and lasts until initia-
tive count 20 of the next round. On his turn, Demogor-
gon can move the illusory duplicate a distance equal
to his walking speed (no action required). The first
time a creature or object interacts physically with De-
mogorgon (for example, by hitting him with an attack),
there is a 50 percent chance that the illusory duplicate
is being affected, not Demogorgon himself, in which
case the illusion disappears.
• Demogorgon casts the darkness spell four times at
its lowest level, targeting different areas with the
spell. Demogorgon doesn't need to concentrate on M ADNESS OF D EMOGORGON
