Actions
^^^^^^^

:bi:`Multiattack`. The behir makes two attacks: one with its bite and
one to constrict.

:bi:`Bite`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.
*Hit:* 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage.

.. index::
   single: grappled; by behir constriction
   single: restrained; by behir constriction

:bi:`Constrict`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
Large or smaller creature. *Hit:* 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus
17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage. The target is :ref:`grappled` (escape DC 16) if
the behir isn't already constricting a creature, and the target is
:ref:`restrained` until this grapple ends.

:bi:`Lightning Breath (Recharge 5-6)`. The behir exhales a line of
lightning that is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that
line must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 66 (12d10)
lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one.

.. index:: blinded; by behir swallow
   single: restrained; by behir swallow

:bi:`Swallow`. The behir makes one bite attack against a Medium or
smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is also
swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target is :ref:`blinded`
and :ref:`restrained`, it has total cover against attacks and other effects
outside the behir, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of
each of the behir's turns. A behir can have only one creature swallowed
at a time.

.. index:: prone; by behir swallow

If the behir takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed
creature, the behir must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at
the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls :ref:`prone` in a
space within 10 feet of the behir. If the behir dies, a swallowed
creature is no longer :ref:`restrained` by it and can escape from the corpse by
using 15 feet of movement, exiting :ref:`prone`.
