Skills

Actions

• Multiattack. The hezrou makes one attack with its bite and one with its claws.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature it is grappled (escape DC 15). Until this grapple ends the target is restrained and the hezrou can't bite another target.
• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d8 + 4) slashing damage.
• Swallow. The hezrou makes a bite attack against a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits and the hezrou has not swallowed another creature the target is swallowed and the grapple ends. A swallowed creature has total cover from attacks from outside the hezrou it is blinded and restrained and it takes 17 (5d6) ongoing acid damage while swallowed.
• Name: If a swallowed creature deals 25 or more damage to the hezrou in a single turn, or if the hezrou dies, the hezrou vomits up the creature
• Darkness. Magical darkness spreads from a point within 30 feet filling a 15-foot-radius sphere and spreading around corners. It remains for 1 minute until the hezrou dismisses it or until the hezrou uses this ability again. A creature with darkvision can't see through this darkness and nonmagical light can't illuminate it.
