Scell the Imperfect/Semi-perfect/Perfect

Hell in a Scell

Like a soon-to-be broken man once said, you're either perfect, or you're not me.

Scell stats and abilities based on Redditor U/GARSL_01's Mythic Encounter: Perfect Cell
Scell is... well he's Cell from BDZ (or BDZA depending on the mood of the room). He is a 7' tall insect like creature, hostile to the PCs and predatory in nature. His alignment is Lawful Evil and he is one of the few beings to be from Attitude City, but not be bound to it once it vanishes. The laws he follows are purely his own.
His earliest possible encounter can be triggered if the players open up the walled off tunnel on the westernmost part of the sewer map. In the tunnel is a chamber with a deep pool of water where Scell sleeps in his larval state. If the players open the tunnel at either end, Scell will awaken, wait for them to leave the area, and make his way into the rest of the sewers, hunting rats until he grows big enough to shed his skin and take his Imperfect form. He will not progress past his Imperfect stage while in the city.

Imperfection

It's Imperfect Cell, but D&D. He's creepy and he lurks in the sewers of Attitude City, hunting the PCs when they enter. Although, at night, he will also take to the surface to feast on anyone foolish enough to be out after dark. He can be encountered many times, although, when first encountered, the player party will be saved by the Ninja Tortles, who also reside in the sewers. If the PCs do not encounter Scell before leaving the city, he will appear to them once in this form before progressing to the next stage.

Innate Spellcasting. Scell's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14, +6 to hit with spell attacks).
Artificial Creation. Scell has advantage on saving throws against exhaustion and is immune to disease. Cell is considered a construct in regards to all spells and effects.

Actions

• Multiattack. Scell makes two melee attacks
• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5', one target. Hit: 2d8+3 slashing damage. Instead of dealing damage, Scell can grapple the target
• Solar Flare. Scell brings his hands to the side of his face and emits a blinding white light from his entire body. Each creature with line of sight to Scell must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for up to 30 seconds (5 rounds). Creatures with darkvision have disadvantage on this roll. On a successful save, the creature closes their eyes and cannot see the next action taken in initiative order (either Scell's next action, or the first action of the creature next in order) but regain sight after that. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the start of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. After 30 seconds, any creatures who have not made successful saves will regain sight at the start of their next turn. Creatures who are currently blinded cannot be blinded again using Solar Flare.
• Absorb. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10', one target. Hit 2d6+4 piercing damage. Scell impales the target with his tail spike and regains HP equal to the amount of damage dealt.
