- **Disabling Sting:** Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (3d4 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be unable to use bonus actions and reactions until the end of its next turn.

On a failure, the target is paralyzed for 1 minute. On a success, the target is poisoned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- **Transfixing Rattle:** The hebi-doku rattles its tail at one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated and have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn.
