Traits

Warping Madness. If the hollow gazer dies with 3 or more levels of Madness, a Gibbering Mouther immediately spawns and joins the combat, acting next in initiative.

Actions

Multiattack. The hollow gazer makes three Pitying Gaze attacks. It may replace two attacks with a use of its Devour Spell or Wall of Time.

Pitying Gaze. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 30ft., one target. Hit 14 (3d6 + 4) psychic damage. The attack deals an additional 3 (1d6) psychic damage for each level of Madness.

Devour Spell. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5ft., one target that can cast a spell. Hit 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage and 21 (6d6) force damage. On a hit, the target loses its highest level spell slot. If the target has no spell slots remaining, it is Stunned until the end of its next turn.

Wall of Time (1/day). The hollow gazer creates a shimmering wall of temporal magic. The wall is either 60 feet long, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick or is a circular wall 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. Nonmagical ranged attacks that cross the wall vanish into time with no other effect. Ranged spell and magical attacks that pass through the wall are made with disadvantage. A creature that intentionally enters or passes through the wall is affected as if they had just failed their initial saving throw against the Slow spell.

Bonus Actions

Mind-Shattering Prediction (Recharge 5-6). The hollow gazer pronounces a grim prophecy about a creature it can see. If the prophecy does not come true by the end of the hollow gazer's next turn, then the creature takes 21 (6d6) psychic damage.
