Chamrol (Revised)

Ambusher. In the first round of a combat, the chamrol has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that has not yet acted.

Grasping Tentacles. The chamrol can have up to twelve tendrils at a time. Each tendril can be attacked (AC 20; 10 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tendril deals no damage to the chamrol, which can extrude a replacement tendril on its next turn. A tendril can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.

Positive Energy Absorption. Whenever the chamrol is subjected to radiant damage, it takes no damage and regains a number of hit points equal to the radiant damage dealt.

Multiattack. The chamrol makes eight attacks with its tendrils and uses Reel.

Constricting Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 20 ft., one large or smaller target. Hit: 36 (2d10 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the target is Grappled (escape DC 16). Until the grapple ends, the target is Restrained. The chamrol has a dozen tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.

Reel. The chamrol pulls each creature Grappled by it up to 25 ft. straight toward it.

Positive Discharge. Standard Action. (Recharges: 5-6).The chamrol draws on its energy reserves to shed a tremendous bolt of positive energy from its tapered apex. Each creature within 20 feet of it must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (3d6) damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
