Special Traits
- Magic Resistance. The plantoid king has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Actions
- Multiattack. The plantoid king can use its Control and make up to three attacks with its tendrils.
- Tendrils. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) slashing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends the creature is restrained, and the plantoid can’t use this tendrils on another target. The plantoid has three tendrils that it can attack with.
- Control. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target grappled by the plantoid, incapacitated or restrained. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the creature must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the plantoid for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The king plantoid can communicate with the controlled creature telepathically to a distance of 30 feet. If the plantoid maintains contact with the creature it can attempt to exert control indefinitely after five successful Control attempts. The indefinitely controlled creature must repeat the Wisdom saving throw every 4 hours, ending the effect on itself after two consecutive successes. Creatures that remain under the control of the plantoid for longer than 5 days become mindless servitors permanently.
