Writhing Tentacles. Three bloody tentacles burst from pools of blood in the Gore Nest, each making one attack against a target within 15 feet of the tentacle (+6 to hit, 2d6 bludgeoning damage).

Grasping Tentacles. Masses of small tentacles begin grasping at creatures. Four 15-foot-radius areas become difficult terrain.
