Well, this is an amusing request:
I've got a boss encounter, Wizard 5/War Weaver 5/Spellguard of Silverymoon 5/Legacy Champion 5. Can cast personal spells of up to level 9 through the weave. Also found a way to make all spells heal, so yes, I can cast time stop through the weave.
She's surrounded by high HP underlings...
What this means? Mass Shapechange.
But obviously I could have mass beholders shooting eye beams at the PCs, but this isn't fun. So I decided that each round the underlings should change form to something new, countering the PCs previous strategies, forcing them to change strategies each round.
And so, the first round involves a shared time stop where all the underlings massively alter the battlefield.
Which brings me to the question: There are a number of monsters with battlefield altering abilities. The top in my mind is the Magmacore Golem, which can create pools of lava on the field. What others out there exist?
