Special abilities

• Poor Vision. Tendril puppets see almost nothing beyond 30 feet away.
• Regeneration. The tendril puppet regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and is in jungle terrain.
• Root Mind. Within a vine lord's forest or jungle, the tendril puppet's blindsight extends to 60 feet, it succeeds on all Wisdom (Perception) checks, and it can't be surprised.
• Green Strider. The tendril puppet ignores movement restrictions and damage caused by natural undergrowth.
• Magic Resistance. The tendril puppet has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
