— Challenge 13 (10,000 XP) Actions Multiattack. The malboro makes two attacks with its tentacles, and one with its bite. Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d10 + 3) piercing damage and 21 (6d6) poison damage. Bad Breath (Recharge 6). The malboro exhales from its mouth a toxic cloud in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become frightened, poisoned, and suffer the effects of the confusion spell for 1 minute. A creature may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending one effect of the creature's choice on each success. A greater restoration spell removes all the effects.

Malboro

Deep in the oldest swamps known to man - and some unknown to man - lie the fiercesome malboro. Some believe them to be nothing more than legend, for few who have seen one return to tell the tale.

Voracious Eaters. Malboro are plantlife, but they have a strictly carnivorous apetite. They feed primarily off of the type of life that can survive and live in the swamps malboros call home, like kobolds, bullywugs, and lizardfolk. In rare occasions they have been known to even consume young black dragons. Malboros are patient and capable of going long periods of time without much food, if they are in an inactive state. They'll typically wait for an opportunity to eat multiple creatures at once.

Larger Than Life. Just the sight of a malboro is enough to strike fear into some of the most battle-hardned adventurers. At maturity they are easily as tall as a hill giant. Their vicious, ten foot wide maw house hundreds of rugged teeth, each one around a foot long. The rest of their bizarre body is covered in green, slimy tentacles which can serve three purposes: their primary method of moving around, to thrash about against attackers, and to conceal their otherwise conspicuous mouth when it is inactive.

Bad Breath. Above all else, legend speaks of a malboro's crippling poisonous breath. Those that have survived an encounter with a malboro speak of the creature breathing out noxious green gas which debilitates any who breathe it in. Malboros use this breath to render their attackers defenseless before slithering in for the kill.
