Transparent

Passive

A slithering pit is so clear it's difficult to spot. A successful check is required to notice a stationary slithering pit, and a creature must be Searching to attempt this check.

A creature that walks into the pit's space might fall into any active Dimensional Pit.

Breach Vulnerability

Passive

Ingesting an extradimensional space like that found in a Spacious Pouch deals 6d8[force] damage to the slithering pit and its occupants. The slithering pit then immediately uses Out You Go.

Dimensional Pit

2 actions

The slithering pit opens an extradimensional, 20-foot-deep pit that covers its own space and all adjacent squares unless they're walls or similar blocking terrain.

Any other creature occupying or entering pit spaces must succeed at a save or fall into the pit, taking damage from the fall (typically 10[bludgeoning] damage). Any creature by the slithering pit falls in and is no longer grabbed, even if it was outside the pit squares.

While a Dimensional Pit is open, the slithering pit is , can't be forced to move, and can make pseudopod Strikes originating from the walls of the pit. A creature that starts its turn at the bottom of the pit takes 2d6[acid] damage. Climbing the walls of the pit requires a check.

When the slithering pit dies, the Dimensional Pit closes and creatures inside are ejected, with the effects of Out You Go.

Flurry of Pods

2 actions

The slithering pit makes a single pseudopod Strike against each target within range it doesn't already have . These attacks count toward the slithering pit's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after all of these attacks.

Out You Go

1 action

The slithering pit closes all pit spaces it created using Dimensional Pit, ejecting all its occupants onto the ground into random free spaces where the pit opened. Each occupant takes 4d6[bludgeoning] damage ( save).

Improved Grab

Free action
