Actions
^^^^^^^

.. index::
   single: grappled; by shambler attack

:bi:`Multiattack`. The shambling mound makes two slam attacks. If both
attacks hit a Medium or smaller target, the target is :ref:`grappled` (escape
DC 14), and the shambling mound uses its Engulf on it.

:bi:`Slam`. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
*Hit:* 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

.. index:: blinded; by shambling mound engulf
   single: grappled; by shambling mound engulf
   single: restrained; by shambling mound engulf

:bi:`Engulf`. The shambling mound engulfs a Medium or smaller creature
:ref:`grappled` by it. The engulfed target is :ref:`blinded`, :ref:`restrained`, and unable
to breathe, and it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at
the start of each of the mound's turns or take 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning
damage. If the mound moves, the engulfed target moves with it. The mound
can have only one creature engulfed at a time.
