About Ankheg

The ankheg is a massive insectoid predator that burrows through soil and attacks from below, dragging creatures underground before releasing corrosive acid. It's one of the great agricultural nightmares of the D&D world — a monster that literally eats the farmland.

  • •Burrow-and-attack: surfaces from underground to attack at advantage against creatures unaware of it.
  • •Bite attack can Grapple and Restrain a target, dragging it below ground on subsequent turns.
  • •Acid Spray (recharge 6): a 30-foot line of acid dealing 3d6 damage even on a successful save.
