Bramble Mass

Travelers tell of a section of the Thornpath where the bushes seem to lean toward footsteps. Those who stop to cut through the growth often find their tools caught in living vines. Local guides mark the bramble mass's territory with strips of white cloth because the creature cannot imitate dead vegetation perfectly when watched closely.

Entangling Plants. The ground in a 15-foot radius around the bramble mass is difficult terrain for creatures other than plants. The area remains difficult terrain until the mass is destroyed or the vines are cleared with an action and a successful Strength check.
Rooted Form. The bramble mass has advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to avoid being moved while it is in contact with the ground. It cannot be knocked prone.
False Appearance. While the bramble mass remains motionless in an area of natural vegetation, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary patch of thorny undergrowth.
Tendril Strike. The bramble mass makes one Tendril Strike against a creature within 10 feet. Hit: 4 () piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be grappled by the bramble mass. The grapple ends if the bramble mass is incapacitated or if the target succeeds on a Strength (Athletics) check as an action.
Constrict. One creature grappled by the bramble mass takes 5 () bludgeoning damage and is restrained until the grapple ends. The bramble mass can constrict only one creature at a time.
