Shredding Scales

This page is about content that is exclusive to Honour mode.

Shredding Scales is a legendary reaction available to the Bulette in the Underdark in Honour mode. Once per turn, the bulette can retaliate against attackers by launching lacerating scales all around it. It loses this ability once its  Diamond Scales are destroyed by depleting the bulette's starting 100 temporary hit points.
