Aura of Death

Actions

Multiattack

The flesh meld makes two Bite attacks.

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage, and if the target is a Large or smaller creature, it has the grappled condition (escape DC 15) and is pulled up to 15 feet toward the flesh meld.

Consume Creature (Bonus Action)

The flesh meld targets one Large or smaller creature within 5 feet of itself that it's grappling. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the flesh meld. The flesh meld can have one creature swallowed at a time. A swallowed creature no longer has the grappled condition. While swallowed, it has the blinded and restrained conditions, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the flesh meld, and takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage at the start of each of the flesh meld's turns. If this damage reduces a swallowed creature to 0 hit points, the creature dies, and the flesh meld consumes its body. If the flesh meld takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the flesh meld must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls with the prone condition in a space within 5 feet of the flesh meld. If the flesh meld dies, the swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement, exiting with the prone condition.
