Special Traits

• Keen Smell. The tangtal has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
• Pounce. If the tangtal moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be forced prone. If the target is prone, the tangtal can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

• Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d4 + 4) slashing damage.
• Duplicate (1/day). A tangtal can create up to 8 illusory duplicates of itself. These duplicates behave exactly like those created by a mirror image spell.
