Boulder Mimicry. While the Codsty remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a natural boulder or rocky outcropping.
Brittle Plating. When the Codsty takes damage from a critical hit, its rocky plating cracks. Its AC is reduced by 2, to a minimum of 14.
Boulder Spikes. A creature that touches the Codsty or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 5 (1d10) Piercing damage from the rocky spikes covering its body.
Regenerate. The Codsty regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.
Multiattack. The Codsty makes two attacks, using Ram, Stone Scythe, or Spike Shot in any combination.
Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) Bludgeoning damage. If the Codsty moved at least 20 feet straight toward the target immediately before the hit, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Stone Scythe. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (4d6 + 5) Slashing damage.
Spike Shot. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) Piercing damage.
Sweep Attack. When a creature enters a space within 10 feet of the Codsty, the Codsty makes one Stone Scythe attack against each creature within 5 feet of the triggering creature.
Description
Codsties are large insects that clad themselves in rocky spikes and hardened mineral growths for defense. When still, a Codsty resembles a boulder, allowing it to remain hidden until prey comes within striking distance. Beneath the stone-like armor is a powerful insectile body with large, scythe-like forearms used to hook, cut, and drag prey close. Codsties are ambush predators by nature, but are capable of sustained battle if necessary.
