False Surface Predator. The ambush maw boa burrows beneath sand, dirt, or soft terrain and forms a false surface above it that resembles a mundane object or terrain feature (a chest, rock, driftwood crate, or even a corpse). The ambush maw boa can fit into areas that are one size smaller than it. A creature must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check to notice something is off. Otherwise, the area is treated as normal terrain or an object.
Multiattack. The boa makes one Bite and one Constrict attack (if grappling). Or one Constrict attack and one Devour attack (if grappling).
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage.
Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one grappled creature. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the target is restrained.
Devour. The ambush maw boa can only devour one creature at a time. The ambush maw boa attempts to swallow a restrained creature of Medium size or smaller. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be swallowed.
While swallowed:
- The creature is blinded and restrained
- Takes 10 (3d6) acid damage at the start of each of the boa’s turns
- If the boa takes 15 damage in one turn, it must succeed on a CON save (DC 10) or regurgitate the creature
Sudden Emergence. If the boa starts its turn hidden and a creature is within 5 feet of its disguised surface, it can erupt upward. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be dragged prone and become grappled.
