Spellcasting. The lost one casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 22):
At will: command, dimension door, silence, thaumaturgy
1/day each: divine word, harm, heal, planeshift, spirit guardians (level 5), teleport
REACTIONS
Fight Another Day (1/Day). Trigger: The lost ones would be reduced to 0 hit points. Response: Before the lost one is reduced to 0 hit points, it casts planeshift on itself (even if it has already cast that spell this day).

QUICK REFERENCE
USING MONSTER VARIANTS
Monster variants allow the GM to adjust encounters to better match the party’s strength, narrative needs, or world-building logic. A weaker variant may represent a juvenile, wounded, or lesser specimen, while a stronger variant can serve as a leader, champion, ancient creature, or apex predator.
Variants can be used to fine-tune difficulty without changing the core identity of the monster, making them ideal for scaling encounters, reinforcing hierarchy within a faction, or creating memorable boss-style enemies. You can even use the same stat block but different variants in the same encounter if you want.
Design Note. Each monster is primarily balanced around its normal version. Weaker and stronger variants are derived adjustments and may not always preserve every tactical nuance or “feel” of the original creature. GMs are encouraged to review variants carefully and adjust abilities or tactics as needed to best suit their table.
