Actions

• Multiattack. Arasta makes three attacks: one with her bite and two with her claws.

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 20 (3d8 + 7) 3d8+7 piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw, taking 32 (5d12) 5d12 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d6 + 7) 3d6+7 slashing damage.

• Web of Hair (Recharge 4–6). Arasta unleashes her hair in the form of webbing that fills a 30-foot cube next to her. The web is difficult terrain, its area is lightly obscured, and it lasts for 1 minute. Any creature that moves into the web or that starts its turn there must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained while in the web. A creature can use an action to make a DC 21 Strength check. On a success, it can free itself or a creature within 5 feet of it that is restrained by the web. This webbing is immune to all damage except magical fire. A 5-foot cube of the web is destroyed if it takes at least 20 fire damage from a spell or other magical source on a single turn.
