Chrono-Instability. When the amalgamini takes 5 or more thunder damage in a single instance, it must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the nearest creature within 30 feet of it has its speed reduced by 10 feet if it’s friendly, or increased by 10 feet if it’s hostile, until the end of the amalgamini’s next turn. Once this trait has triggered, it can’t trigger again until the end of the amalgamini’s next turn.

Spatiotemporal Awareness. The amalgamini always knows exactly what time it is and which way is north.

Tamer Level 1 Feature: Split

Prerequisite: Become a tamer’s companion

Type: Active (bonus action)

As a bonus action, the amalgamini can split itself into two creatures: an obsidian bird and a crystal scorpion. When this happens, one of these creatures appears in the space that the amalgamini occupied, while the other appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it.

The bird and the scorpion share the amalgamini’s hit points, use its stat block, and benefit from any improvements it has, with the following exceptions: the bird is the only one that has a flying speed and can use the Wing attack, and the scorpion is the only one that has tremorsense and can use the Sting attack. If both the bird and the scorpion take damage simultaneously from the same effect, only one of them takes that damage.

The amalgamini’s tamer can command both the bird and the scorpion as part of the same action or bonus action. Between them, the bird and the scorpi on can only take one action and bonus action on their turn, but each one can move up to the amalgamini’s speed and has its own reaction.

The amalgamini remains split until it merges again as a bonus action, until the scorpion and the bird are more than 100 feet away from one another, until it’s recalled to its vessel, or until it’s reduced to 0 hit points. When this happens, the amalgamini’s tamer can choose whether the amalgamini reappears in the space of the bird or the scorpion.
