Actions
- Multiattack: The grindylow makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.
- Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage.
- Claws: Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d6 + 1) slashing damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the grindylow can't use its claws on another target.
- Ink Cloud (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest): A 20-foot-radius cloud of ink extends all around the grindylow if it is underwater. The area is heavily obscured for 1 minute, although a significant current can disperse the ink.
After releasing the ink, the grindylow can use the Dash action as a bonus action.
