Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit:  18 (2d12 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled(escape DC 16) Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the broodstalker can't bite another target.

Swallow. The broodstalker makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target takes the bite's damage, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the broodstalker, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the broodstalker's turns.

If the broodstalker takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the broodstalker must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 5 feet of the broodstalker. If the broodstalker dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 30 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Acid Spray (3-6 Recharge). The broodstalker spits acid in a 15ft cone. All creatures in the space must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 28(5d10) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

The monster can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The monster regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Slam (Costs 1 Actions). The Broodstalker makes one Slam attack.

Lethal (Costs 1 Actions). The Broodstalker attempts to recharge it's Acid Spray. If it successfully does so, It can use it as a free action on top of it's legendary action. If the Broodstalker has not yet used it's Acid Spray, It uses the legendary action to do so instead of recharging.

Description

Terrorizing the wildlife and asserting it's dominance in the food chain are the Apex Predators of the Feywild. These creatures lurk in the thick lustrous jungles, with their booming footprints behind them.

Burrowing Menace: Broodstalkers are capable hunters that live in caves or secluded mountain biomes. They burrow under the earth to look for prey and leave narrow winding paths in their wake, creating a mass tunnel system underneath the soil in the Feywild

Ferocious Nature: Though they provoke fear among fey folk, Broodstalkers are so barbaric to the point they can't be with others of their kind. They see everything around them as a threat, and consequently makes them almost always alone.

Displaced Through the Multiverse: All Broodstalkers are born with a spiritual connection to Fey Crossings, and are drawn towards them. They instinctually know where the nearest crossing is and will always be looking for one. When a Broodstalker finds one, it is transported to the material plane and then looks for another Fey Crossing. Because of this you can find Broodstalkers in almost every nook and cranny, of every plane, searching for Fey Crossings, leaving a trail of chaos behind them.
