• Rotten Snowball Shove (Recharge 6). The giant snow beetle tosses one of its carrion-filled snowballs at a point it can see within 20 feet of it. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and becomes poisoned for 1 minute. On a success, a target takes half the damage and isn't poisoned. A poisoned creature can make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the poisoned condition on itself on a success.
