Command Hair. The coral korred has at least one 50-foot-long bone or coral rope woven out of its hair. The coral korred commands one such rope within 30 feet of it to move up to 20 feet and entangle a Large or smaller creature that the coral korred can see. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or become grappled by the rope (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The coral korred can use a bonus action to release the target, which is also freed if the coral korred dies or becomes incapacitated.
A rope of coral korred hair has AC 20 and 20 hit points. It regains 1 hit point at the start of each of the coral korred’s turns while the rope has at least 1 hit point and the coral korred is alive. If the rope drops to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.
Description
Coral korreds are secretive creatures that have strong ties to coral and water. They prefer to keep their own company but occasionally consort with creatures of elemental water. A tribe of coral korreds gathers weekly to perform ceremonial dances, and their underwater singing can be heard by water dwellers for miles around. Coral korreds typically flee from other creatures but become aggressive when they feel insulted or are annoyed by the sounds of mining.
Coral korreds look like their surface korred cousins, but their bodies are covered in mossy green hair, and the hair on their heads is long, flowing, and grassy. They have a pair of chitinous, crablike legs, and their broad hands are webbed. They can breathe both air and water. They can survive indefinitely on land, but they aren't happy about it.
No one knows the ways of the ocean floor better than a coral korred. They can seemingly smell valuable underwater fauna and minerals. A coral korred on the surface can feel the rise and fall of moisture under the earth and where water tables are present, and underwater it knows pathways through the kelp and coral for miles around. Secret doors hidden in coral are as obvious as windows to a coral korred.
Coral korreds have mossy green hair all over their bodies, but the seagrass hair that grows on their heads is magical. When cut, it transforms into strands of whatever material was used to cut it. Coral korreds often use bone blades to cut off their hair, then weave the strands together to create bone ropes that they can manipulate or animate. Coral korreds take great pride in their hair and equally great offense at anyone who attempts to cut it without permission.
