Piscoloth

Intelligent yugoloths that often act as sergeants in mercenary companies.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Its body is red and chitinous, like a lobster’s, and a long fish-like tail sprouts from its back. Its two legs end in wickedly sharp bird-like talons and its two arms resemble the claws of a crab. Sickly looking tentacles hang from its face, each one dripping a foul looking fluid.

Average Height

Piscoloths stand hunched over most of the time and as such are only around 6 feet in height. If they were ever to stand to their full height, they would be around 8 feet tall.

Average Weight

Piscoloths weigh around 450 pounds.

Actions

Multiattack: The piscoloth makes two pincer attacks. If the piscoloth is grappling a creature, the piscoloth can also use its tentacles once.
Pincer: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 15) if it is a Large or smaller creature and the piscoloth doesn't have two other creatures grappled.
Tentacles: One creature grappled by the piscoloth must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. Until this poison ends, the target is paralyzed. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Teleport: The piscoloth magically teleports, along with any equipment it is wearing or carrying, up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.
