If the Spinner dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement.

Description

The Caustic Spinner dwells in the Underdark, rooting itself in the ground as a plant would. Its' roots penetrate and take hold through tough rock, where the Spinner stays for the rest of its life. The Caustic Spinner got the first part of its' namesake from the acidic substance they secrete to coat their body with to protect them against any creature that touches them. The Spinner is set with many tentacles attached to the base of their body, these tentacles can be controlled to spin to attack any enemies, and the Spinner's acidic slime may be flung through this method. The Caustic Spinner blends in very well with its' environment while no light sources are nearby, for light sources reflect off their slime well. The main body of the Spinner is vaguely semi-spherical, sprouting tentacles all over besides its' mouth on the top of its' body. The Spinner is able to sense creatures around it without sight, hearing, or smell, but through Blindsight and Tremorsense. The Spinner is very aggressive, instinctively attacking anything that moves within its' range. The Spinners' acidic slime is too slippery to pick up most things, so when a creature gets close enough to its' body, it may try to bend it's body to eat the attacker. A creature inside the Spinner would find that its' body constricts around them, and the innards of the Spinners' body is covered in teeth, which stab into them, causing great pain.
