Notes

• The Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound can use the potent combination of  Digestive Sap and Devour in a single turn. It will target any restrained creature with Digestive Sap (who will roll the saving throw at  Disadvantage due to being restrained). If successful, it will immediately follow up with Devour and instantly kill the target. As a result, it is important to avoid being restrained in the first place. This is most easily accomplished with  Freedom of Movement or  Ring of Free Action.
• Before Patch 6, Devour dealt 10d10⁠⁠Piercing instead of killing the target instantly.
