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
|
|
|
|

|
|
| **Attacks** | 2 (+1) @ tentacle stun (1d4 + entangle) OR Swallow Whole OR Spit |
|
|
| **Save** | 12 (2) |
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
- 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:
