+==Great Mothula's Lair==
 A great mothula's lair is a disturbing mixture of mystical marshlands and mechanical traps.  It nests underground in caves or ruins, and its presence makes nearby weather perpetually foul.
 {{LairActions|name=mothula
-|*'''''Shift Ground.''''' The floor in the lair rapidly shifts, ground shifting in random directions.  Until the next lair action, the ground in a 120-foot radius becomes [[difficult terrain]].  Each creature that starts its turn on the ground is pulled 5 feet in a random direction (roll a d8).  If pulled away from the mothula, this movement provokes an [[opportunity attack]].
+|*'''''Blade Trap.''''' Blade traps form and fling across the ground.  Every creature on the ground within 120 feet of the mothula must succeed on a DC 12 {{dex}} [[saving throw]] or take 5 (2d4) piercing damage and fall [[prone]].  A creature with reduced movement has [[disadvantage]] on this save.
 *'''''Morth Rain.''''' Swarms of {{C|Morth}}s drop from the ceiling or overhanging trees.  Every humanoid and beast within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 12 {{dex}} [[saving throw]] or have its speed halved until it either takes damage or uses an action to remove the morth from itself.  The morths which fail to latch on die from the fall.}}
