Improved Initiative. The tektite has advantage on any ability check it makes to determine turn order in combat.

Legendary Resistance (1/day). If the tektite fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Powerful Attacks. A weapon attack deals one extra die of its damage when the tektite hits with it (included in the attack), and these weapon attacks are magical.

Standing Leap. The tektite can jump a length or height of up to 50 feet, with or without a running start. These jumps can avoid most forms of difficult terrain.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) magical bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Withdraw. The tektite uses the Disengage action, and jumps up to 25 feet.

“The legendary Golden Tektite. Its basic attack is the same, but it has much more power.”
— Figurine description, The Minish Cap

An extremely rare variant of tektite that hunts in solitude, the golden tektite derives its name from its gold-colored body. It wields uncanny speed, and is both more durable and much stronger than ordinary tektites. According to rumor, this creature is the result of magical enhancement—said to be empowered by a mighty sage, a great fairy, or some other source of potent magic. Indeed, it is one of the legendary creatures collectively called golden monsters.
