Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.
Description
This wormlike monstrosity blends in with the rock of the caverns it haunts. When prey comes near, its barbed tentacles unfurl to reveal its hungry, snapping beak.

Posted Jan 14, 2022Yes, if none provided, but lots of monsters don't actually use that formula for their grapple attacks, so if you're going to add one to a grick 13 or 14 is about right. Giant octopus is 16, crocodile is 12, regular constrictor snake with strength 15 is DC 14.

Posted Mar 9, 2022I homebrewed a grick that does exactly that. Also modified it so its beak is laced with deadly poison, and tentacle barbs coated with acid. To ensure that no character is safe, I added a spitting attack to the monster, because it burned me that this monster had no ranged attacks.

Posted Oct 5, 2024I have a fond memory from my first campaign about gricks. I one-shot the thing with a level 2 rogue, damage of about 34.

Posted Mar 30, 2025The Grick seems to be an ambush predator of the solitary sort, likely has an internal organic structure similar to worms or snakes. With a membranous skin, it likely requires moisture to survive and maintain optimal health, so they possibly choose caves that are close to close-ish to water sources like lakes or ponds. Most caves are usually humid and moist as well, so optimal habitat as well. Best style of attack would likely be heat or fire, or just a handful of sodium chloride.
