Restraining Grappler. A creature which is grappled by the Mactera grabber is also restrained.

Actions

Grapple. The Mactera grabber chooses one creature which is no more than one size category larger than it and which is within 5 feet of it. The Mactera grabber makes a Strength (Athletics) check and the target creature must succeed either a Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check (the target chooses the ability to use) with a DC equal to the Mactera grabber’s roll or be grappled by the Mactera grabber.

Tactics

Mactera grabbers have very simple tactics: grapple a target, fly about 100 feet up, drop the target.

Lore

Put me down you horrid bug. Wait, no- aaahhhh!” – A greenbeard learning that Mactera grabbers will eventually put you down, just not from a safe height.

Mactera grabbers have long, slender legs covered in tiny spiked barbs which they use to wrap around their victim and carry them away. Their chitin plates are an off-white and their flesh underneath is a deep crimson.

Legal Stuff

This creature is based on reference material found in the game Deep Rock Galactic. It’s a good game, go check it out.
