Actions

Multiattack. The ravager makes two bite attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) poison damage. If the target is wearing armor and the attack roll exceeds the target's AC by 5 or more, the target's armor takes a permanent and cumulative
-1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to an AC of 10 is destroyed.

Distress Call (Recharge 6). The ravager makes a deafening screech, each creature within 20 feet of it that can hear it and that isn't a ravager must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be deafened for 1 minute. The screech can be heard within 240 feet of the ravager, altering the brood of danger.

Stunning Screech (1/day). The ravager emits a horrific screech. Each creature within 20 feet of it that can hear it and that isn't a ravager must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of the ravager's next turn.

Reactions

Brood's Protection. When a creature the ravager can see targets it with an attack, the ravager can choose another ravager within 5 feet of it. The chosen ravager uses its reaction to protect the brood mother, becoming the new target of the attack.
