Your unnatural thinness and flexibility grants you a couple benefits. You may attempt to end a grapple on yourself as a bonus action instead of an action. Additionally, all grapple checks made against you are at disadvantage.

Thanks to your underground adaptations, you can see well within the darkness at a range of up to 60 feet. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

As both a blessing and a curse, you give off a distinct smell when under pressure.
