Actions

Multiattack.

The horror makes one Bite attack and two Tentacle attacks.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d6 + 8) piercing damage.

Tentacle.

Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d6 + 8) force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 18). Until this grapple ends, the horror can't use this tentacle against other targets. The horror has 1d8 + 1 tentacles, each of which can grapple one target.

Psychic Whispers (Recharge 5-6).

The horror emits dreadful whispers in a 60-foot-radius sphere centered on itself. Each creature in the sphere that isn't an Aberration must make a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Crushing Tentacle.
