SPECIAL TRAITS

• Bleeding Strikes. A creature that takes damage from the giant’s blood spear attack must succeed at a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or gain the bleeding condition (see Grim Hollow Campaign Guide).
• Forest Camouflage. The giant has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in forested terrain.
• Innate Spellcasting. The giant’s spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 14). The giant can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: barkskin (self only), druidcraft, poison spray (at 5th level), spare the dying
  • 3/day each: entangle
  • 1/day each: blight, detect poison and disease, faerie fire, find traps, pass without a trace

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The giant makes two blood spear attacks.
• Blood Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 15 ft. or range 60/240 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) piercing damage.
• Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 60/240 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
• Bloodvine. Ranged Spell Attack: +6 to hit, range 60 ft., up to three targets. Hit: 16 (2d12+3) piercing damage, and the creature is poisoned for 1 minute. The target can make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the target is no longer poisoned.

REACTIONS

• Bloodvine Drinker. If the giant damages a target with a bloodvine attack, the giant regains 10 hit points.
