Death Throes. When Virruza is reduced to 0 hit points, he turns into a puddle of acid and splashes acid on those around him. Each creature within 5 feet of him must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be covered in acid for 1 minute. A creature can use its action to scrape or wash the acid off itself or another creature. A creature covered in the acid takes 7 (2d6) acid damage at the start of each of its turns.

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

Regeneration. Virruza regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.

Innate Spellcasting. Virruza's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12). The slaad can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: detect magic, detect thoughts, mage hand

1/day: fireball

2/day each: fear, invisibility (self only)
