Actions

Multiattack. The lasher makes two thorn slash attacks or uses its whirlwind strike.

Thorn Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 2 (1d4) poison damage.

Whirlwind Strike (Recharge 5-6). The lasher lashes out in all directions with thorny vines, tearing any opponent within range. Each creature in a 10-foot radius centered on the lasher must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 9 (2d8) piercing damage.
