Foul. Any creature other than an ooze, that starts its turn within 10 feet of Juiblex must succeed on a DC 24 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of the creature’s next turn.

Innate Spellcasting. Juiblex’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks.). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 
At will: acid splash, darkness, detect magic
3/day each: blight, contagion, dispel magic, gaseous form

Legendary Resistance (3/day). If Juiblex fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Juiblex has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Juiblex’s weapon attacks are magical.

Regeneration. Juiblex regains 20 hit points at the start of its turn. If it takes fire or radiant damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of its next turn. Juiblex dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn’t regenerate.

ACTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
Multiattack Juiblex makes three acid lash attacks. He can replace one of these attacks with Corrupting Touch if desired.

Acid Lash. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (4d6 + 7) acid damage. Any creature killed by this attack is drawn into Juiblex’s body and the corpse is obliterated after 1 minute.

Corrupting Touch Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (4d6 + 7) poison damage and the target is slimed. Until the slime is scraped off with an action, the target is poisoned, and any creature other than an ooze is poisoned while within 10 feet of the target.

Cold Wave (Recharge 5-6). Juiblex radiates cold in a 30 ft. radius. All creatures other than ooze in the area must make a DC 24 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) cold damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.

Eject Slime (Recharge 5-6). Juiblex spews out a corrosive slime, targeting one creature that it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 55 (10d10) acid damage. Unless the target avoids taking any of this damage, any metal armor worn by the target takes a permanent -1 penalty to the AC it offers and any metal weapon it is carrying or wearing takes a permanent -1 penalty to damage rolls. The penalty worsens each time a target is subjected to this effect. If the penalty on an object drops to -5, the object is destroyed.

LEGENDARY ACTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
Juiblex can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Juiblex regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Acid Splash. Juiblex casts acid splash.

Attack. Juiblex makes one attack.

Spew Slime Juiblex summons one of the following: 2d6 grey oozes, 1d8 ochre jellies or 1d4 black puddings. They appear in an unoccupied spot within 60 feet of Juiblex. Juiblex can also use this ability to summon an alkilith, but if used in this manner multiple times, the previous demon returns from whence it came. 

LAIR ACTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Juiblex takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; it can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Juiblex slimes a square area of ground it can see within the lair. The area can be up to 10 feet on a side. The slime lasts for 1 hour or until it is burned away with fire. When the slime appears, each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 21 Strength saving throw or become restrained. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, that creature must make the same save. A restrained creature is stuck as long as it remains in the slimy area or until it breaks free. The restrained creature or another creature that can reach it can use its action to try and break free and must succeed on a DC 21 Strength check. If the slime is set on fire, it burns away after 1 round. Any creature that starts its turn in the burning slime takes 22 (4d10) fire damage.

• Juiblex slimes a square area of ground it can see within the lair. The area can be up to 10 feet on a side. The slime lasts for 1 hour or until it is burned away with fire. When the slime appears, each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone and slide 10 feet in a random direction determined by a d8 roll. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, that creature must make the same save. If the slime is set on fire, it burns away after 1 round. Any creature that starts its turn in the burning slime takes 22 (4d10) fire damage.

• A green slime appears on a spot on the ceiling that Juiblex chooses within the lair. The slime disintegrates after 1 hour.

REGIONAL EFFECTS
________________________________________________________________________________
The region containing Juiblex’s lair is warped by his magic, which creates one or more of the following effects. If Juiblex dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

• Small bodies of water, such as ponds or wells, within 1 mile of the lair turn highly acidic, corroding any object that touches them.

• Surfaces within 6 miles of the lair are frequently covered by a thin film of slime, which is slick and sticks to anything that touches it.

• If a humanoid spends at least 1 hour within 1 mile of the lair, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or descend into a madness determined by the Madness of Juiblex table. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw can’t be affected by this regional effect again for 24 hours.

Madness of Juiblex
A creature that goes mad in Juiblex’s lair or within sight of the demon lord gains a character flaw as listed below.

1-20	“I must consume everything I can!”
21-40	“I refuse to part with any of my possessions.”
41-60	“I’ll do everything I can to get others to eat and drink beyond their normal limits.”
61-80	“I must possess as many material goods as I can.”
81-100	“My personality is irrelevant. I am defined by what I can consume.”

Combat:

Against numerous foes, Juiblex always activates the Orb of Juiblex. Then he summons creatures to his aid. In melee he attempts to engulf his foes any chance he gets. If that fails he retreat only to come back in the form a wave.

Amorphous (Ex): Bludgeoning weapons and impact damage deal no damage to Juiblex. He is able to slip through spaces that otherwise could accommodate a creature no larger than Tiny because of his jelly-like substance.

Breath Weapon (Su): Juiblex can spit forth a 90 ft. cone of frigid cold acid, once every 1d4 rounds. It deals 20d8 acid and cold damage. It ignores resistances and immunities. Reflex save DC 55 halves. The DC is Constitution-based.

Constrict (Ex): Juiblex deals 2d6 + 14 points of damage plus 2d6 acid and 2d6 cold damage with a successful grapple check, in addition to damage from his slam attack.

Create Slime (Su): As a free action, once per round, Juiblex can spew forth a patch of Green slime (DMG 76) anywhere within a 100 ft. of himself (including at a target, making a ranged attack with a bonus of +60).

Dissolve (Ex): Juiblex’s acidic touch deals 100 points of damage per round to wood or metal objects. Armor and clothing worn by a creature Juiblex strikes dissolves immediately unless the owner succeeds a Reflex save DC 55. A metal or wooden weapon that strikes Juiblex dissolves immediately unless the owner succeeds a Reflex save DC 55, although the weapon deals normal damage before dissolving. The DC is Constitution-based.

Engulf (Ex): Juiblex can engulf any Huge or smaller creature he is grappling by making a successful grapple check. He can also automatically engulf helpless creatures. An engulfed creature takes constriction damage plus 10d6 acid and 10d6 cold damage each round and is considered to be grapple and trapped within his body. Additionally, an air-breathing creature must hold their breath or begin to drown. A creature can escape Juiblex’s body by succeed on a grapple check with their own grapple check or Escape Artist check.

Juiblex can engulf up to 1 Huge creature, 2 Large creatures, 4 Medium creatures, 16 Small creatures, 64 Tiny creatures, 216 Diminutive creatures, or an unlimited number of Fine creatures.

Improved Grab (Ex): Whenever Juiblex makes a successful slam attack, he can attempt a grapple check. If successful, he establishes a hold and can constrict or engulf.

Juiblex Spikes (Su): Juiblex can use the coldness within his body to harden parts of his body, as a free action, creating spikes. Any creature grappling with or being constricted by Juiblex take an extra 8d6 points of piercing damage plus 3d6 acid and 3d6 cold damage. Juiblex can disperse the spikes as another free action. He can also shoot them out in a 100 ft. radius dealing 10d6 points of piercing damage plus 3d6 acid and 3d6 cold damage to any creature (not in service of Juiblex) within range. Reflex save DC 55 halves. The DC is Constitution-based.

Maw of Juiblex (Ex): As a free action, Juiblex can gather a collection of mouths within his body to form a large mouth. It functions as a +6 acidic burst, icy burst, vile weapon. It deals damage as a colossal creature (4d6) plus 2 times his Strength bonus plus 3d6 acid and 3d6 cold damage. The mouths break apart at Juiblex’s command or after 20 rounds.

Ooze Explosion (Su): Juiblex can cause itself to explode in 150 ft. radius dealing 15d6 acid and 15d8 bludgeoning damage to any creature within range. Reflex save DC 55 halves. Whether the save is successful or not, the creature is covered in acidic goo taking an extra 10d6 acid damage. In the following round, as a full round-round action, Juiblex attempts to reform itself. Creatures must then succeed an Escape Artist check or grapple check to oppose Juiblex’s grapple check. If unsuccessful, Juiblex drags the creature into his body and automatically engulfs them. (This does not allow him to exceed his normal engulfing limits. He must choose which creatures to engulf)

Pool of Acid (Su): Juiblex, as a standard action, can spew forth a pool of acid onto the ground around him in a 100ft. radius. Anyone in this pool of acid takes 10d8 points of damage each round. This pool is thick and creatures can only move at half speed. Flying creatures are unaffected.

Ravaged Form (Cold Soul): Juiblex insides are intensely cold due to the emptiness of his soul. He
can control this cold and attack with it. He deals extra cold damage on all
his natural attacks as well as other abilities.

Ravaged Form (Many Eyes): Juiblex’s body of ooze is filled with hundreds of eyes, which constantly shift back and forward through his body. With these eyes, Juiblex gains the following bonuses:

• – He can never be flanked
• – He can never be blinded
• – Darkvision 120 ft.
• – Juiblex can see an attack coming from a mile away. He gains a +10 bonus to Ref saves.
• – +10 bonus to Search and Spot checks.

Ravaged Form (Many Mouths): Juiblex’s body not only contains many eyes, but many mouths as well. His mouths constantly shift around his body like his eyes. Thus, when making a single bite attack he must roll 1d6 to determine how many bites hit their mark. When making a full attack with a bite, he must roll 2d6 to determine how many bites hit their mark.

Spell-like Abilities: CL 52th; DC 29 + level

Summon Tanar’ri (Sp): 3/day Juiblex can summon 5d10 dretches, or 2d6 hezrou, or 2d6 alkilith.

Vile Ooze Orbs (Su): As a stardard action, Juiblex can fling globs of ooze, filled with vileness, at one foe that’s within 300 ft. It deals 10d10 points of acid and vile damage. It ignores resistances and immunities. Reflex save DC 55 halves. Damage cannot be healed unless within a consecrated area. The DC is Constitution-based.

Wave of Bloody Fangs (Su): As a full-round action, Juiblex can take the form of a tidal wave of green ooze and bloody fangs. Juiblex becomes 60 ft. wide and can travel up to 120 ft. in any direction. Any creature hit by this wave are bitten 5 times. They must also succeed a Fortitude save or be knocked down for 1d6 rounds. Any creature that is caught at the end of Juiblex’s wave, are automatically engulfed. The DC is Constitution-based.

Possessions: Juiblex only carries one item – The Orb of Juiblex. To date, this is the only object that Juiblex has ever used in combat.

The Orb of Juiblex

This orb is 2 ft. within diameter. It’s dark green and covered in red runes. Juiblex carries this artifact within his gelatinous body at all times. As a full-round action, Juiblex can activate the orb’s power. Upon activation, the orb rises from his body into the air. It releases a powerful gas in a 90 ft. radius of Juiblex. Any creature within range must succeed a Fortitude save DC 60 or fall to the ground unconscious for 2d6 rounds. This effect is just the beginning. Immediately after releasing the gas, the orb shoots off into the sky. In the following round, the sky and clouds all turn a sickly shade of green. At this point, it begins raining blackish-green acidic rain in a 500 ft. radius of Juiblex. The rain deals 10d8 points of acid and unholy damage (ignores resistance and immunities to acid) each round for 15 rounds. Reflex save DC 60 halves. This effect can only be stopped by Juiblex, as a free action. After the rain stops, the orb returns to Juiblex and its runes disappear for 1 minute as it recharges. During this time the orb cannot be activated.
