Actions

Melee Attack Roll: , reach 10 ft. . If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, the shambling mound pulls the target 5 feet straight toward itself.
Strength Saving Throw: DC 15, one Medium or smaller creature within 5 feet. Failure: The target is pulled into the shambling mound's space and has the Grappled condition (escape DC 14).
