Multiattack. The kuo-toa makes two attacks.

Gutting Knife. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.

Harpoon. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 25/50 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, or 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage when used with two hands to make a melee attack. If the kuo-toa scores a critical hit or reduces a target to 0 hit points, the target is impaled and tethered to the kuo-toa. Any creature can take an action to remove the harpoon from the target with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Medicine) check. Failure still removes the harpoon but deals 10 (3d6) damage as the barbs rake the wound.   Additionally, if the kuo-toa or the target attempts to move further than 50 feet from the other, it must first succeed a Strength contest against the other.
