Amphibious. The genetic horror can breathe air and water.
Grasping Tendrils. The genetic horror can have up to three tendrils at a time. Each tendril can be attacked (AC 20; 10 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tendril deals no damage to the horror, which can extrude a replacement tendril on its next turn. A tendril can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.
Rejuvination. If it dies, the genetic horror has a 25% chance to return to life at half health in 24 hours.
Spider Climb. The genetic horror can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Sure-Footed. The genetic horror has advantage on Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws made against Effects that would knock it prone.
