Make boss moves for more interesting fight

Alright, I'm making a boss, and I have some ideas for stuff it could do. I have been using mcreator for a while so I'm not going to suggest anything far fetched like some posts I've seen. 

Is there a way to make a mob jump into the air at random (often uncommonly like a boss move) and when it hits the ground damage nearby entites?

I was thinking of just changing it's y velocity, but that doesn't change the fact that I have no idea how to do a blast radius, and make it happen only sometimes.

 

The other thing I want to do is make it summon minions. This will also include the same procedure that the jumping one has to make it happen at random intervals. But I also want them to not spawn in a block accidentally. I could make it check for air, but I always want a successful spawn, so if it turns up false, what do I do?

both could be possible with procedures. Jumping and hitting the ground animation cannot be possible.
The cooldown could be done with nbt variables.

I know the animation wouldn't be possible, I didn't want one.

But that still doesn't explain how to make a blast radius. Is there a tutorial on the official playlist?

I was thinking of jerry rigging the detect block in radius procedure to check for entity in radius but i don't know if that would work

jerry's probably the boss.

for minions, maybe you could make the code try to summon another one  if the attempt fails?
