Hardened Twig Blight

Hunters and farmers tell of 'briar things' that hide in the old fence-lines, waiting to pull children or livestock into thorny pits. Priests of nature scorn these as corrupted sprigs grown from rotted offerings and malice. In ruins they are used by some hedge witches as alarms.

False Appearance. While the blight remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a dead shrub. A creature that touches or examines the blight can make a Wisdom (Perception) check to notice something is off.
Vulnerable to Fire. The blight is vulnerable to fire. When taking fire damage the blight takes an additional 50 percent damage from that source.
Camouflage. The blight's brittle form grants advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide among dead brush or ruined wooden structures.
Multiattack. The hardened twig blight makes two claw attacks.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 () piercing damage. If the target is a Small or Medium creature, the blight can attempt to entangle it in barbed twigs. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained until the end of the blight's next turn. A restrained creature can use its action to make a Strength check against the same DC, ending the effect on a success.
Twig Shot. Ranged Weapon Attack: to hit, range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 () piercing damage. The blight can use its twig fragments to harry a fleeing foe or target at range.
Reactive Slash. When a creature within 5 feet hits the blight with a melee attack, the blight can use its reaction to slash out with a twig, making one Claws attack against that creature.
