Traits

• Spider Climb. The roper can climb difficult surfaces, including along ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Actions

• Multiattack. The roper makes two Tentacle attacks, uses Reel, and makes two Bite attacks.
• Bite. Melee Attack Roll: +7, reach 5 ft.
  Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) Piercing damage.
• Tentacle. Melee Attack Roll: +7, reach 60 ft.
  Hit: The target is Grappled (escape DC 14) by one of six tentacles and is Poisoned until the grapple ends.
  Each tentacle can be targeted individually (AC 20, HP 10, immune to Poison and Psychic damage). Damaging a tentacle does not harm the roper. Destroyed tentacles regrow at the start of the roper’s next turn.
• Reel. The roper pulls each creature it has Grappled up to 30 feet straight toward it.
