Ki-rin's Lair
Ki-rin lair in tall mountain aeries or isolated temples located in such heights.
Lair Actions
When fighting inside its lair, an ki-rin can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the celestial takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the celestial can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Conjure Objects
- Pure flowing water
- Healthy animals, plants, and good creatures
- Protection from Curses, diseases, and poisons
- Control Weather
- Feather Fall
When the ki-rin dies, all these effects disappear immediately, although the invigorating effect on flora and fauna remains for 3 years.
