False Appearance. While the monolith remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal gem.
Tendrils. The monolith has ten tendrils (five of each kind). Each tendril can be attacked (AC 15; 15 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage, vulnerability to fire damage). Destroying a tendril deals 4 damage to the monolith. A tendril can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.
Wooden Legs. If the monolith drops to half its hit points or fewer, it gains vulnerability to fire damage.
Multiattak. The monolith makes two Tendril attacks.
Grappling Tendril. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 15). Until the grapple ends, the target has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The monolith can have up to five creatures grappled in this way a time.
Lashing Trendril. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature. Hit: 18 (4d6 + 4) piercing damage.
Entombing Amber. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one Medium or smaller creature grappled by the plant. Hit: 18 (4d8) acid damage, and the target is pulled into the monolith's space and enveloped by the amber, and the grapple ends.
While entombed, the target is restrained, takes 18 (4d8) acid damage at the start of each of the monolith's turns, and it has total cover against attacks and effects originating outside the monolith. When the monolith moves, the entombed creature moves with it.
As an action, a creature within 5 feet of the monolith can try to free the entombed creature by using its action to make a DC 15 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the monolith.
If the monolith dies, the target is no longer restrained and can escape from the monolith by spending 10 feet of movement, exiting prone. The monolith can only have one creature entombed at a time.
Drag Creature. The monolith pulls one creature grappled by it up to 15 feet straight towards it.
