Traits

Ambusher

The creeper has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised.

False Appearance

While the creeper remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal cluster of vines.

Spider Climb

The creeper can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Thorns

At the start of each of its turns, the creeper deals 7 (2d6) piercing damage to any creature grappling it, or that it has grappled.

Actions

Multiattack

The creeper makes two attacks with its strangling bramble. It can't make both attacks against the same target.

Strangling Bramble

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one Large or smaller target. Hit: 7 (1d6+4) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and at risk of suffocating. If the creeper is grappling a Large creature, or two Medium or smaller creatures, it can't use this attack against another creature.

Other data

description

In these forests, the sound of rustling underbrush is almost always a dangerous omen. Bramble creepers take on the camouflaged appearance of briar clusters and are carnivorous, ambushing predators. These large plant creatures use their thorny vines to pierce and ensnare their prey, piercing and suffocating them into submission.
