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.
