Actions

Multiattack. The Gulthias Tree makes 2 attacks with its branches or grasping roots. If it has a target grappled, Gulthias Tree can also make a bite attack against that target as a bonus action.

Branch. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6+2) bludgeoning damage.

Grasping Root. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) bludgeoning damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 15). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The roots have AC 16 and can be severed by dealing 6 slashing damage or more to it at once. Cutting the root doesn't hurt the Gulthias Tree but ends the grapple.

Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6+2) piercing damage.

Frightful Presence. Red blood oozes from Gulthias Tree's pores. Each creature that is within 30 ft. of Gulthias Tree must succeed one a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become Frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Gulthias Tree's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6). Gulthias Tree exhales poisonous gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The Gulthias Tree can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Gulthias Tree regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
