Actions

Multiattack. The carrion crawler makes two attacks: one with its tentacles and one with its bite.

Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (2d8 + 3) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute.

Description

Carrion crawlers scour putrid flesh from carcasses and gobble the slimy bones that remain. They aggressively attack any creature that trespasses on their territory or disturbs their feasting.

Chardalyn Origin: This construct is fashioned from pieces of chardalyn that have been assembled in the form of a Carrior Crawler. Demonic magic suffusing the chardalyn imbues the construct with malevolence, allowing it to enjoy the terror it causes. This effect extends outward from it, corrupting other creatures who get too close to the dragon. Those affected by the dragon’s presence turn their efforts to helping the dragon inflict suffering on others.

A chardalyn carrion crawlers serve as prototypes created prior to the construction of the dragon. They follow the tyrannical will of its evil creator—a tireless drive devotion that exceeds its own instinct of self-preservation. Thus, the chardalyn carrion crawler will destroy itself in pursuit of its master’s desires if necessary. it likes to tear foes apart, as well as knock down doors and other structures. Against enemies it can’t reach, it fires a beam of destructive radiance from its grill-like maw.
