Unfettered Stride. Difficult terrain doesn't cost the briarvex extra movement.
Multiattack. The briarvex can use its Grasping Vines if it is able to. It then makes two throny fist attacks.
Thorny Fist. Melee Weapon Attack:+9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6+6) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, thorns burrow into its body. Until a creature takes an action to remove the thorns, the target takes 7 (2d6) piercing damage at the start of each of its turns.
Grasping Vines (1/Day). The briarvex can only use this ability outdoors in a forest environment. Each creature within 60 feet of the briarvex that isn't another briarvex must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained. A creature restrained by the vines can use an action on its turn to make a DC 15 Strength saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. The vines can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 10; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).
Description
In ancient forests and vine-cluttered swamps, the briarvex lurks in the thickest undergrowth, controlling the nearby plant life to entangle its prey. Some know them as "vine ogres." They do their best to ambush their targets, preferring to work in groups despite their rarity. They consider treants moral enemies, and will attack them on sight. The seek nothing but to spread their kind through forests far and wide, planting seedlings which spend two years growing rooted in place, before maturing and becoming mobile. In some cases briarvexes have planted hundrteds of seeds in a single area in a season, and within a couple of years a horde of the creatures overran nearby settlements. Briarvexes stand 9 to 12 feet tall and weigh around 1,500 pounds.
