Description
First Impression: A massive lioness carved of volcanic black rock sits imperiously on its haunches. Two black, folded, stone wings are frame either side and atop its head a pair of sweeping horns, stretch seven feet out to a before curving to a point like a great crown. The craftsmanship of its form is so life-like, you wonder if its stone appearance is simply some trick of the light. Suddenly it moves, small cracks in the seams of its joints, along curvature of its muscles appear facilitating motion. They glow molten orange, illuminating every detail of its form. The beast's eyes flare and a third eye appears on the ridges of its forehead. They stare at you, animal yet intelligent, then suddenly mortal, then suddenly wrong; too mortal, too divine, too something. A light rises from within its jaws, illuminating a mouth filled with obsidian daggered teeth and you hear it speak with three voices; female, grating, and all too knowing. True Form: Irninür's body jerks, twisting down with the harsh sound of rocks falling from a cliff. Her black basalt exterior cracks, slabs of stone crumbling to the floor, revealing muscles of molten magma beneath. White, orange, and red flames erupt from her crown, cascading into a billowing mane of fire and writhing smoke. Glowing sockets appear along her chest as two lithe arms of molten sinew and feline claws reach forward and twich to life. Her limbs bend and snap unnaturally, the joints deranged and wrong. The seams on the sides of her neck open, spilling lava and liquid shadow below as two skeletal heads wriggle out from the gap. Terrible pin-pricks of light flare in their empty sockets darting about; mad, gleeful, and bloodthirsty.

Each creature in the geyser's area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
