Cavebound Leech

Cavebound Leech

Description

The slimy, segmented body of a Cavebound Leech stretches for several meters, with a glistening, mucus-covered exoskeleton that allows it to move effortlessly through the underground passages. Its elongated, razor-sharp teeth line its gaping maw, capable of piercing through even the sturdiest of armors. When disturbed, the Cavebound Leech lies in wait, coiled like a nightmarish serpent, ready to strike with lightning speed and constrict its victim in its suffocating embrace while at the same time attempting to devour them with its terrible jaws.

Constricting Grasp(Physical)

Roll: 1-2

The Cavebound Leech lunges at a target, attempting to wrap its slimy body around them and constrict. It makes a melee attack, dealing D6 Bludgeoning damage on a hit. If the attack hits, the target is Entangled. The target takes D6 Bludgeoning damage at the start of each of their turns while Entangled.

Razor Bite(Physical)

Roll: 3-4

The Cavebound Leech strikes with its razor-sharp teeth, attempting to pierce the target's flesh. It makes a melee attack, dealing D8 Piercing damage on a hit. If the target is wearing armor, the Cavebound Leech gains Advantage on the attack roll due to its teeth's ability to gnaw through sturdy protection.

The Cavebound Leech targets a creature it has Entangled with its Constricting Grasp ability. It opens its maw wide and attempts to engulf the creature, dealing 2D10 Acid damage.
