Any creature in the cube's space must make a Strength saving throw. On a successful save, a creature is pushed out of that space and into the nearest unoccupied space outside the cube. A Huge or larger creature automatically succeeds on the saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the cube and is engulfed in acid, taking 6d4 acid damage. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target takes 4d4 acid damage and can repeat this saving throw, ending the effect early on itself on a success.

The cube can restrain as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures or two Large creatures. If the cube restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the cube falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.

As an action, you can move the cube up to 30 feet. If it moves over a pit, cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it reaches the ground. Any creature restrained by the cube moves with it You can ram this cube into creatures, forcing them to make a saving throw.

The creature has the statistics provided in the Monster Manual for the chosen form, though it is a celestial, a fey, or a fiend (your choice) instead of its normal creature type. Additionally, if it has an Intelligence score of 5 or lower, its Intelligence becomes 6, and it gains the ability to understand one language of your choice that you speak.

You control the mount in combat. While the mount is within 1 mile of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. While mounted on it, you can make any spell you cast that targets only you also target the mount. The mount disappears temporarily when it drops to 0 hit points or when you dismiss it as an action.
