Multiattack. The behir makes two attacks: one with its bite and one to constrict.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage.
Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one Large or smaller creature. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 16) if the behir isn't already constricting a creature, and the target is restrained until this grapple ends.
Lightning Breath (Recharge 5–6). The behir exhales a line of lightning that is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Swallow. The behir makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is also swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the behir, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the behir's turns. A behir can have only one creature swallowed at a time.
If the behir takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the behir must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the behir. If the behir dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Saw this lad as a figure when I was visiting a shop. I had introduced a monster at the start of the campaign but I didn't have a specific model for it yet so I grabbed this boy and adjusted the stats I had. Can't wait to have this guy ambush the party
Me (raises his ✋️)
meeeeeeeeeeeee
My dm threw two of these at our lvl 9 party of four yesterday. Lets just say we found out a behirs biggest weakness are enlarged Monks with a lucky dice.
That's why I'm here now haha

Late to the party, but loved your idea.
Your wish is Granted; coming up, Behir Vs. Cyclops.
- Behir has +3 to dex, while Cyclops has +0, meaning that Behir has a higher chance of going first.
-Behir has a higher armor class and more hit points and is faster. 50ft. > 30ft.
-Behir has higher stats except for Con
-Behir has a higher Hit modifier. +10 > +9
-Damage-wise, the Behir would do less than the cyclops due to its Constrict limitation. However, the Behir does do a truckload of damage with the Lightning breath.
In my personal opinion, the Behir would very well win most of the encounters since it has better stats. The only way that I can think a Cyclops could win is if it spammed the Rock attack, but Behir would close the distance with its faster movement speed and turn this into a melee battle, or move close enough to hit it with the Lightning breath, which is a DC 16 Dex save, and Cyclops has a +0 for Dexterity, so Behir would win most of the fights. I am very sorry if I ruined Cyclopses for anyone.
mm. centipede dragon.
Why would a behir only speak draconic if it was created by the giants and hates dragons?
For those unaware, these magnificent creatures were originally a creation of the Giants in their war against the dragons. Their horns are needed for the ink to scribe the lightning bolt spell, their claws are used in Neutralize Poison, their teeth are multicolored gemstones prized by many, and their bones are made of crystal.
If you want to scare your players, give some reports in down that people have seen a blue dragon in the area, as many common people make this mistake
give them an adolescent Behir to fight. Plenty on the homebrew page

My DM made us fight this at level 3 and we won
In 2nd Ed Behir swam in desert sands so anything is possible.
Think I might have to use this in one of my games haha
too good :(
I only just found out about this monster because of the Keys of The Golden Vault’s level one adventure.
I unleashed this on my party of level 6s but there were like 8 players, and one guy just kept getting eaten by this dude. I still laugh to this day about it. (They actually ended up killing it)
hehehe ha im gonna morph into this
