Traits

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

Spellcasting

Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). Grazilaxx's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:

At will: detect thoughts, levitate

1/day each: dominate monster, plane shift (self only)

Innate Spellcasting. Grazilaxx can innately cast can cast the teleport spell once per day, but the intended destination must be within 30 feet of another society member. This teleport effect can be disrupted (see "Faerzress"), which is how society members sometimes end up in far corners of the Underdark, separated from their fellows.
