Cavern Crawler. The Glyphid praetorian can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, moving through difficult terrain doesn’t cost it extra movement.

Death Cloud. When the Glyphid praetorian dies, it creates a cloud of gas in a 10-foot radius centered on its body. Each creature standing in the gas when it appears or which moves into the gas must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The gas lasts for one minute or until it takes any fire damage, whereupon it will ignite, dealing 7 (2d6) fire damage to any creature inside the gas.

Resolute. The Glyphid praetorian has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Actions

Multiattack. The Glyphid praetorian makes two bite attacks.

Acid Spray (Recharge 5-6). The Glyphid praetorian spews a corrosive liquid in a 10-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
