Traits

False Appearance.

While the blight remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a dead tree.

Siege Monster.

The blight deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Multiattack.

The blight makes one Branch attack and one Grasping Root attack.

Branch.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

Grasping Root.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature not grappled by the blight. Hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 15). Until the grapple ends, the target takes 9 (1d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of its turns. The root has AC 15 and can be severed by dealing 6 slashing damage or more to it at once. Cutting the root doesn't hurt the blight, but ends the grapple.

Bonus Actions

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature grappled by the blight. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) piercing damage.
