Tentacles

Extract Brain

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated humanoid grappled by Nihiloor. The target takes 55 (10d10) piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, Nihiloor kills the target by extracting and devouring its brain.

Mind Blast (Recharge 5-6)

Nihiloor magically emits psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or take 22 (4d8 + 4) psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
