Abolethic Hybrid. The abolant can breathe air and water and is immune to disease.
Abolant Deformation. The abolant carries either the babbling, three-eyed, or tentacled deformation. The abolant’s deformation determines its action options.
Actions
Multiattack. The tentacled abolant makes 1d4 slam attacks or one Grasping Limbs attack.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
Grasping limbs (Recharges 4–6). The abolant lashes at a single creature sized Large or smaller within 10 ft. with 1d4 tentacles. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw at DC 12 + the number of tentacles or be grappled. If the creature fails its saving throw by more than 5 points, it is also restrained. These effects immediately end if the abolant is incapacitated. While grappling or restraining a creature, the abolant cannot make attacks but can use its action to move the creature up to half its movement.
