Slam. Melee Attack Roll: Bonus equals your spell attack modifier, reach 10 feet. Hit:1d8 + 4 + the spell’s level Bludgeoning damage.

Needlevine Volley (Blight Only). Ranged Attack Roll: Bonus equals your spell attack modifier, range 80 feet. Hit:2d4 + 3 + the spell’s level Piercing damage. Hit or Miss: Vines suddenly sprout and lash about, causing the area within a 10-foot radius Sphere centered on the target to become difficult terrain until the beginning of the guardian's next turn.

Reactions

Energy Absorption (Shambling Mound Only). Trigger: The guardian takes damage of a type that it is not resistant to. Response: The guardian gains resistance to that damage type until the end of its next turn, unless the guardian already possesses an immunity to that damage type. If the guardian possesses an immunity to the triggering damage type, it instead heals itself for the amount of damage that would have been dealt.
