Violet Root-Mantis - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Violet Root-Mantis

Barnaby calls it his Violet Root-Mantis, which is a charmingly wrong name for something that looks like a nightmare grown from alien botany. It is a slaad form in the loosest possible sense, but visually it resembles a star-spawned predator assembled from twisted roots, thorn-vines, and splintered wood. Its wounds seep glowing violet sap that rapidly hardens into new tissue, letting it recover with eerie speed. It is less a creature than an invasive idea made flesh.

Violet Sap Regeneration. The Violet Root-Mantis regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and has not taken fire or acid damage since the end of its last turn.
Root-Loaded Frame. The creature has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws made to grapple or resist being shoved, pulled, or restrained by roots, vines, or other plant matter.
Splintering Hunger. The Violet Root-Mantis deals double damage to objects and structures made of wood, wicker, or living plant matter.
Multiattack. The Violet Root-Mantis makes two Thorn Claw attacks.
Thorn Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 () slashing damage plus 3 () piercing damage from snapping thorns.
Splinter Maw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 () piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape ). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and the Violet Root-Mantis cannot use this claw on another target.
Violet Sporespit. The Violet Root-Mantis exhales a spray of glittering violet spores in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 13 () poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails the save also has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of its next turn.
Sap Shear. When the Violet Root-Mantis takes acid, fire, or radiant damage, it may flicker backward in a spray of violet sap and impose disadvantage on one melee attack roll made against it before the end of the current turn.
