Cavern Crawler. The Glyphid exploder 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 Burst. When the Glyphid exploder dies, it explodes in a burst of fire. Each creature within 5 feet of it must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Additionally, the ground in the area becomes difficult terrain.

Illumination. The Glyphid exploder sheds dim light in 5-foot radius.

Actions

Explode. The Glyphid exploder begins to convulse and ends its turn. At the start of its next turn, it explodes as if by its death burst feature. Any remaining hit points it has are added to the damage of the death burst.
