Actions
^^^^^^^

one with its claws.

:bi:`Bite`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
*Hit:* 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) poison damage. The
target must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be :ref:`poisoned`
for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

:bi:`Claws.` *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
*Hit:* 7 (2d4 + 2) slashing damage.

:bi:`Web (Recharge 5-6)`. *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, range 30/60
ft., one Large or smaller creature. *Hit:* The creature is :ref:`restrained` by
webbing. As an action, the :ref:`restrained` creature can make a DC 11 Strength
check, escaping from the webbing on a success. The effect also ends if
the webbing is destroyed. The webbing has AC 10, 5 hit points,
vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and
psychic damage.
