Digestive Toxins. A creature coated in the Caver crawler's digestive fluids which it can spray out of it's spines and mouth takes 1d6 acid damage per turn until they are cleaned off. If it has been coated multiple times for each time the creature was coated past the first the creature must make a constitution saving throw or gain the poisoned condition until the acid has been washed off.
Multiattack. The cavern crawler makes either two bite attacks or one spit attack
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (3d4 + 4) Piercing damage.
Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 20/40 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (2d4 + 1) acid damage. Coats in acid (see digestive toxins).
At the end of a Cavern Crawler's turn it will use one of it's two bonus actions, the former if there are multiple hostiles nearby and the latter if it has secured itself a safe spot or is fighting a creature it perceives as non threatening or weak. A "non threatening" creature would either be one it has seen to be incapable of dealing significant damage or
Defensive spray. Creatures within a 5 foot radius must made a dexterity saving throw or be coated in acid (see digestive toxins).

Description
A omnivorous shelled scuttling engorged insect that has managed to evolve to be so big by barely moving, and eating moss that grows on cave walls. It's shell takes the appearance of a jagged rock but can be revealed to have seams which the sinewy dark red with speckles of yellow and black insect flesh beneath resembling a skinned corpse which has caused the belief in local folklore that that is what comes of a human who dies in the caverns, this is simply a story however. Cavern Crawlers Store energy and remain dormant in quarries (what you call a pack of Cavern Crawlers) until something of high energy value such as an animal stumbles into a group of them which they then use their energy explosively to secure as a meal.
