Eldritch Eddy

D&D 2024 monster: Eldritch Eddy. Source: Netheril's Fall. challenge rating 6, creature type Construct, Large size, speed 10 ft., fly 40 ft. (hover) When magical energy becomes dangerously unstable, it sometimes animates into an eldritch eddy: an uncontrolled whirlwind of Evocation magic that crackles with fire and lightning. Eldritch eddies typically arise where magic use is heavy and irresponsible, such as near a fanatical mage's sanctum, a workshop that churns out magic items, or a library where undertrained scribes work with Spell Scrolls. Eldritch eddies are common in ancient Netheril near the homes and workplaces of famous mages. Eldritch eddies rampage with one purpose: destroy as much in their paths as possible. Before eldritch eddies manifest, telltale signs signal their arrival.
