Monster
Comments from the Finger: I wrote this silly monster as a mash up of the tarrasque and the flumph for a stream of The RPG Lab. It was a total blast and we wrote most of another flumph-themed creature in the stream; you should totally check it out! Art by the extremely talented Lucas Ferreira CM.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the giga-flumph fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The giga-flumph has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Prone Deficiency. If the giga-flumph is knocked prone, roll a die. On an odd result, the giga-flumph lands upside-down. While upside down, the giga-flumph can’t move, is incapacitated, and does not benefit from its Reflective Cap trait or its damage immunities. At the end of each of its turns, the giga-flumph can make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, righting itself if it succeeds.
Reflective Cap. Any time the giga-flumph is targeted by a magic missile spell, a line spell, or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll, roll any die. On an even result, the giga-flumph is unaffected. On an odd result, the giga-flumph is unaffected, and the effect is reflected back at the caster as though it originated from the giga-flumph, turning the caster into the target.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The giga-flumph can use its frightful presence or its toxic cloud and then make four tendril attacks.
Tendrils. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: 12 (1d12 + 6), piercing damage plus 18 (4d8) acid damage.
Foul Cloud (Recharge 5-6). Each creature within a 50-foot radius sphere centered on the giga-flumph must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be coated in a foul-smelling mucus for 1d4 hours. While coated, the creature is poisoned and exude a stench so horrible that other creatures within 5 feet of it are poisoned while they remain in that area. An affected creature can use its action to attempt to remove the foul-smelling mucus, ending the poisoned condition and removing the stench on a success. A creature automatically succeeds on this saving throw if he has a bath with soap.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of the giga-flumph’s choice within 120 feet of it and aware of it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the giga-flumph is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the giga-flumph’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
The giga-flumph can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The giga-flumph regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Attack. The giga-flumph makes one attack with its tendrils.
Move. The giga-flumph moves up to half its speed
Paralyze (Costs 2 Actions). The giga-flumph makes a tendril attack against a creature, which must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute.
