Vhelrazi, Third Bound of Arkaraz

Songs of caravan masters speak of a dragon that judged broken oaths by binding travelers to their merchants' ledgers for a fortnight. Priests whisper that it was the third of Arkaraz's great minions broken free when the god's ward cracked and that it delights in enforcing bargains even when that enforcement crushes free will.

Binding Saturation. The dragon can choose to make one binding during its turn using Binding Echo or Binding of Fate. It can maintain up to five independent bindings at a time without concentrating. Each binding persists for up to 1 hour unless dispelled, removed by specific magic (remove curse, greater restoration, wish used as allowed), or the dragon chooses to end it. A binding links two valid things: people to people, people to objects, objects to objects, people to a time, or itself to an object. Each binding has mechanical effects described below.
Lair Thread. Vhelrazi emits a 90-foot aura while in its lair. Creatures that start their turn in the aura and are not bound to Vhelrazi must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become aware of a fate-thread and gain vulnerability to psychic damage until the start of their next turn. While vulnerable in this way the first time a creature would be removed from its current plane by magic they instead shift into a location chosen by Vhelrazi as if a Sudden Chain had targeted them.
Last Covenant. If Vhelrazi would be reduced to 0 hit points it can choose to bind itself to a nearby object as a last resort. Doing so forces any creature within 30 feet to make a Wisdom save or be bound to the same object (target chosen by Vhelrazi) and pulled 30 feet toward it. The dragon is reduced to 1 hit point and becomes incorporeal and immobile until the binding ends. While bound like this the dragon is immune to all damage except psychic and radiant and takes half damage from those types.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 36 () piercing damage plus 18 () force damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 28 () slashing damage.
Binding Bolt. Ranged Weapon Attack: to hit, range 120/480 ft., one target. Hit: 27 () lightning damage and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become Slowed (as the slow effect) until the end of the dragon's next turn.
Counter-Bind. Counter-Bind. When a creature within 120 feet attempts to cast dispel magic or remove curse on a willing target bound by Vhelrazi, the dragon can use its reaction to impose disadvantage on that caster's ability check or force a Charisma saving throw to redirect the effect to an inert lair pillar instead.
Sensing Bond. Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check or senses a target currently linked by any binding within 120 feet.
Shift Link (Costs 2 Actions). Shift Link. The dragon moves a single existing binding from one valid target to another valid target within 120 feet or shifts a bound object up to 60 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
Sudden Chain (Costs 3 Actions). Sudden Chain. The dragon forces one creature currently in a binding to attempt a Wisdom save. On a fail the creature is teleported 60 feet to any location the dragon can see and is restrained by ethereal chains until the end of its next turn. If the dragon has fewer than three legendary action points available it can spend extra legendary action points (max total cost 6) to instead teleport the target to a chosen lair pillar location.
9th level
Innate Binding SpellcastingDivination / Conjuration— Vhelrazi has innate spellcasting. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 25, +17 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components. At will: detect thoughts, locate object, mage hand (as spectral chains), shield. 3/day each: banishment, plane shift (self only, to move linked targets between loci), teleport. 1/day each: wish (ritual-laced variant limited to altering bindings or swapping two creatures/objects no larger than huge if within 1 mile and bound by Vhelrazi), temporal stasis (as time stop that pins a single bound target for up to 3 rounds).
