Archdruid of the Thorned Circle - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Archdruid of the Thorned Circle

In older druidic traditions, an archdruid is not simply a priest of nature but a sovereign of cycles, the voice that decides when a forest heals, burns, or is allowed to die. This one became a boss worthy of legend after sealing away an encroaching blight by sacrificing an entire village to the roots, and it has never apologized for choosing the woods over civilization.

Nature's Ward. The archdruid has advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or polymorphed. In addition, it can ignore difficult terrain caused by nonmagical plants and natural undergrowth.
Shapechanger. The archdruid can use its action to magically assume the shape of a beast with challenge rating 3 or lower that it has seen before, or return to its true form. While transformed, it retains its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, and it can cast spells only if the form can speak or has the appropriate anatomy.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the archdruid is reduced to 0 hit points, it can choose to remain at 1 hit point instead. Once it uses this trait, it cannot use it again until it finishes a long rest.
Regrowth of the Circle. The archdruid regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it is in natural terrain and not in sunlight created by a spell of 3rd level or higher. This trait does not function if the archdruid has taken fire damage since the end of its last turn.
Multiattack. Multiattack. The archdruid makes two Thorn Staff attacks or casts one spell and makes one Thorn Staff attack.
Thorn Staff. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 () bludgeoning damage plus 7 () poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn.
Verdant Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: to hit, range 60 ft., one target. Hit: 18 () radiant or necrotic damage, chosen by the archdruid when the spell is cast.
Thornburst Grove. The archdruid summons brambles in a 20-foot radius centered on a point it can see within 90 feet. The area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute. A creature that enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Strength saving throw or take 10 () piercing damage and have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. A creature that succeeds takes half damage and suffers no speed reduction.
Primal Rebuke. When the archdruid succeeds on a saving throw against a spell or magical effect, it can cause roots and leaves to twist around the source of the magic. The caster must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 7 () force damage and be unable to cast spells that require concentration until the start of its next turn.
Stride Through Roots. The archdruid moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Primal Strike. The archdruid makes one Thorn Staff attack or one Verdant Bolt attack.
Living Ground (Costs 2 Actions). The archdruid casts a cantrip or repositions one area of plants, vines, or difficult terrain it created within 60 feet, causing one creature of its choice in that area to make a Strength saving throw or be restrained until the end of its next turn.
