| Nggyb'ra | Nggyb'ra for OSR gaming. | 2026-09-12T01:54:01-04:00 | bestiary | outsiders | feature | bmng | 6 | hidden |
A medium-sized, strange, worm-like creature, lumpy and misshapen, with a deep red color and a mass of tentacles at one end surrounding a gaping, toothy maw, but which moves like an oozing slime. Nggyb'ra is a relatively young outsider (barely 1000 years old), and seeks only to return to its universe of origin, beyond the edges of our multiverse.
- Always speaks in the royal "we" ("We are Nggyb'ra").

Tentacle Stun
On a hit, the tentacle wraps around the victim.
- Target must Save vs Paralyze or become entangled until the end of the next round.
- In target is entangled, they may attempt another Save vs Paralyze at the start of their initiative.
Swallow Whole
If a medium or smaller-sized creature is still entangled by a tentacle at the start of Nggyb'ra's initiative, they may attempt to swallow that creature whole as an attack.
- The creature must Save or be swallowed whole.
- Once swallowed, victim takes 1d4 acid damage at the start of each round, and can only use weapons that are dagger-sized or smaller.
- Only one creature can be swallowed at a time.
Spit
If a creature has been swallowed, it can be spit at another creature up to 10' away as an attack.
- On a hit, both the target and creature being spit must Save or take 2d6 damage.
- They each only take 1/2 damage on a successful save.
- On a miss, only the creature being spit has to Save.
Split
Can split into 3 equal-sized portions, or can split off 1/3 of its mass, each with the following stat modifications:
| Hit Dice | 2 (9 hp) |
| Armor Class | 14 |
| Attacks | 2 (+1) @ tentacle stun (1d4 + entangle) OR Swallow Whole OR Spit |
| Save | 12 (2) |
- This sized portion can only swallow creatures of small size or smaller.
- Each portion forms its own tentacles and mouth.
- It takes 1 combat round to split, and 1 combat round for 2 or 3 portions to rejoin.
When only 1/3 of mass has been split off (or 2 of the smaller portions have merged back together), it has the following stats:
| Hit Dice | 4 (18 hp) |
| Armor Class | 14 |
| Attacks | 2 (+3) @ tentacle stun (1d6 + entangle) OR Swallow Whole OR Spit |
| Save | 10 (4) |
