Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) radiant damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the ankheg can bite only the grappled creature and has advantage on attack rolls to do so.
Crystal Spray (Recharge 6). The ankheg sprays a cone of crystal shards, provided that it has no creature grappled. Each creature in that line must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) piercing damage as well as 3 (1d6) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Description
This creature is a northern variation of the plains and forest dwelling ankheg. This species has only be found in the Crystalsands Tundra of Wildemount on the world of Exandria.
It lives in a deep burrow in the glittering tundra, using its tremorsense to feel the activity of creatures above it. When it senses a creature, the Crystalburrow Ankheg attacks swiftly in a rapid ambush and then carries its prey into its crystalline burrow.
