You call forth a Cave Squig. It manifests in an unoccupied space you can see within range and uses the Cave Squig stat block. When you cast the spell, choose a mutation: Insalutary, Malodorous, or Pestiferous. The improbable creature, part fungus and part flesh with a spheroid body, has beady eyes and gaping maws dominated by row upon row of dagger-like teeth and is marked by the chosen mutation, which determines certain details in its stat block. The creature explodes in a cloud of pungent but harmless spores when it drops to 0 Hit Points or when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your allies. In combat, the creature shares your Initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its movement to avoid danger.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. Use the spell slot’s level for the spell’s level in the stat block.
