The tzitzimitl makes four attacks with its claws.
Reaction
Eye Beam (Costs 2 Actions)
The tzitzimitl targets one creature within 120 feet that it can see. It makes a ranged attack (+19 to hit) and on a hit does 21 (6d6) force damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage.
Reaction
Light to Dark (3/Day)
The tzitzimitl can convert an effect within 60 feet that does radiant damage to necrotic damage. The tzitzimitl takes no necrotic damage from the effect and instead regains a number of hit points equal to half the effect's original damage.
Reaction
Snatch
The tzitzimitl makes a claw attack against a Large or smaller target. On a hit, the target is grappled (escape DC 19). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained, and the tzitzimitl can't snatch another target with that claw and can only make another claw attack using that claw against the creature it grappled.

Special
Magic Resistance
The tzitzimitl has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
These immense four-armed skeletons wear ancient priestly accoutrements, including skirts of what seem like woven light and darkness, almost like bits of space with stars and galaxies moving within. Their bony forms are suffused with eldritch fires, flaring to deadly brightness in their empty eye sockets and around their clawed hands. A tzitzimitl is 50 feet tall.
Apocalyptic Herald. Enigmatic creatures of darkness, some cultures claim tzitzimitls attack and consume entire suns to "shut down worlds" in preparation for the end of days. Sages say that these creatures come from the cold, dark places between the stars, and that in the darkness of any eclipse, one can see their immense, world-darkening shadows.
