Actions

• Claws: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature it is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends the target is restrained and the ankheg can't use its claws on anyone else.
• Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature grappled by the ankheg. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) slashing damage. If this damage kills the target the ankheg severs its head.
• Acid Spray (Recharge 6): The ankheg spits a 30-foot-long 5-foot-wide stream of acid. Each creature in the area makes a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw taking 14 (4d6) acid damage on a failure or half damage on a success. If the ankheg is grappling a target it instead bathes the target in acid dealing 14 (4d6) acid damage with no saving throw only to that target.
