Actions
^^^^^^^

grappling a creature, the chuul can also use its tentacles once.

:bi:`Pincer`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one
target. *Hit:* 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. The target is :ref:`grappled`
(escape DC 14) if it is a Large or smaller creature and the chuul
doesn't have two other creatures :ref:`grappled`.

.. index::
   single: poisoned; by chuul tentacles
   single: paralyzed; by chuul tentacles

:bi:`Tentacles`. One creature :ref:`grappled` by the chuul must succeed on a DC
13 Constitution saving throw or be :ref:`poisoned` for 1 minute. Until this
poison ends, the target is :ref:`paralyzed`. The target can repeat the saving
throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
