Grindylow
A goblin-faced tentacle-horror lurks in shallow water, its writhing lower half letting it strike far more often than it should in a fight.
The top half of a grindylow vaguely resembles a goblin, but from the waist down, their bodies split into a tangle of suckered, wriggling tentacles. Grindylows mostly dwell in shallow waters, fresh and briny, including lakes, rivers, coastal regions, and coral reefs.
In play
Reactive Strike [Reaction] A grindylow gains 1 extra reaction at the start of each of their turns that they can use only to make a Reactive Strike with a tentacle. They can't use more than one Reactive Strike triggered by the same action or choice.
