Elusive. Improved Initiative. The golden tektite (creature) 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. Water Walker. The tektite can walk, jump, or slide over the surface of water as easily as it can move over land.
