If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 25 feet away from the tongue-plucker and be knocked prone. >> > >> [!blank|no-t] >>***Grab.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:* 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 15). The tongue-plucker can grapple one target in each hand. >> >>***Throw (Recharge 6).*** The tongue-plucker throws a creature it is grappling. The creature flies in a straight line for 30 feet before falling prone to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the thrown creature would strike another creature, that creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the thrown creature strikes the target, stops moving, and both creatures take 21 (6d6) bludgeoning damage and fall prone. >> >>***Pluck (Recharge 6).*** The tongue-plucker prepares to pluck away the tongue of a single grappled creature by putting its paw in the creature's mouth. The tongue-plucker must have a free hand to do this and the grappled creature must have a tongue. Until the end of its next turn, the tongue-plucker is stunned, but doesn't end the grapple. At the end of its next turn, the tongue-plucker makes a contested Strength check. If it wins, it rips out the creature's tongue and eats it. The creature takes 55 (10d10) bludgeoning damage and is silenced while it doesn't have a tongue.
