Darkmantle
A cavern-ceiling ambusher drops onto anything that wanders beneath it, smothering prey and shedding blobs of living darkness.
Clinging to cavern ceilings like a lump of wet stone, the darkmantle drops onto anything that wanders beneath it, smothering prey in a fold of leathery flesh before they can register the threat.
Constrict [Single Action] 1d8 bludgeoning, DC 17
Shed Darkness [Two Actions] (Darkness, Evocation, Primal) The darkmantle sheds an inky blob of black fluid from the folds of its body. It can shed this blob horizontally to a distance of up to 30 feet, or simply let it fall up to 120 feet below itself (shed darkness that falls more than 120 feet before striking a surface evaporates without effect). When the blob of darkness lands, it explodes into a 10-foot burst of darkness that prevents light from penetrating or emanating within the area.
