Abilities & Attacks
Reactive Strike (Special) (reaction). A grindylow gains 1 extra reaction at the start of each of their turns that they can use only to make a Reactive Strike with a tentacle. They can't use more than one Reactive Strike triggered by the same action or choice. Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike. Clinging Suckers. When a grindylow successfully Grabs a creature larger than themself, they attach to that creature. The Grabbed creature is not Immobilized, but if it moves, the grindylow moves with it. If the creature is Medium or smaller, it takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds while the grindylow is attached. The grindylow is Off-Guard while attached to a creature. Jet (2 actions) (move). The grindylow moves up to 60 feet in a straight line through the water without triggering reactions. Grab (1 action). Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained. Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty. The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
