If a xakalonus succeeds on a saving throw against a magical effect that would damage it, it takes no damage. Instead, the xakalonus regains 11 (2d10) hit points. Alternatively, if the xakalonus is at full hit points, the next successful melee attack by the xakalonus deals an additional 11 (2d10) force damage.

Magic Resistance

The xakalonus has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
