I'm making my first monster for publication and it:
1)Has to be CR 10.
2)All the stats have to be correct.
3)Does the description and flavor text compliment the mechanics?
Can you help me answer these three questions above?
A major chaos surge blasts through the region, affecting an Uncontrollable Transformation spell just being cast. An unsuspecting doppelganger stands affected by this event and spell, with the result showing greenish hue skin and a muscular build. This shapechanger now delights in its unpredictability spawning fear, and confusion wherever it goes. It relishes sowing chaos whenever it shapechanges into one of it’s terrifying forms.
Defense Spun by Chaos. The Predathon’s unpredictability creates impressive defenses, but it does have a secret vulnerability!

Shapechanging Chaos The Predathon’s shapechanging is at will (free action) up to 5 times a day (if it chooses) into one category larger of equal CR. Each shapechange is fueled by the nature of chaos so it must be chosen randomly; roll a d6 and choose; Algorith, Bone Swarm, Demon (Rubezahl), Devil (Automata), Fear Smith, or Golem (Salt). It can’t shapechange into a second form until a short rest. Once it transforms, it gains all the new hit points, abilities, skills, class, race, languages, saves, and spells, if applicable and able. The Predathon does not regain any of its original abilities when shapechanged. If it’s reduced to 0 hit points, then the creature is returned to its original form with any extra damage added to the original form’s hit point total. The Predathon can choose whether to hold, drop, or wear equipment while shapechanging. If wearing equipment then it will function as normal. The GM can choose if it’s practical to wear or use the equipment. When reverting back to normal form it reverts back to its previous hit points, plus any current added damage. The Predathon is still vulnerable to thunder damage regardless of the new shape’s abilities.

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

Chaos Confusion
Constant: confusion per the spell (always centered on the predathon with 10’ radius), detect thoughts.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The predathon can make three claw attacks. Melee weapon attack: +8 to hit, reach 5’., 1 creature. Hit 18 (2d12+4) slashing damage.
Chaos’s Embrace (Recharge 4-6).
You bring a ferocious amorphous attack spunfrom the raw power of chaos faster than a blink. You can use a single attack action ability (requires recharge ability) from any creature
