Actions

Multiattack. The Cher'fer can attack with its tail and bite or constrict. It can also constrict and bite, if the target is already grappled.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10ft, one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10ft, one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) piercing and plus 3 (1d6) fire damage

Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack. +7 to hit, reach 10ft, one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage. Target is grappled (escape DC 16). Once grappled, the Cher'fer receives advantage on constricting the target while maintaining the grapple. Until this grapple ends, the target takes 3 (1d6) fire damage regardless of whether or not the Cher’feru attempts to constrict.

The Cher’fer looks like a large earthworm with thick scales and a gaping mouth, lined with rows of vicious teeth. This massive worm lives in pools of molten rock spending most of the time rolling in the lava. They burrow into volcanic terrains and consuming the earth while creating a network of tunnels. The creature uses the tunnels to lay their eggs. It will protect their clutches from any intruders.
