Notes

• The Shambling Mound has access to two versions of this ability which differ in range.
  • The shorter range version can target enemies between 6 m (20 ft) and 9 m (30 ft) away and pulls the target 9 m (30 ft) closer.
  • The longer range version can target enemies between 9 m (30 ft) and 15 m (50 ft) away and pulls the target 15 m (50 ft) closer.
  • The AI prioritizes using the longer range version.
