The  shoggoth  makes three pseudopod or crushing suction attacks in any combination. \n'b'  Pseudopod .  Melee Weapon Attack : +15 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.  Hit : 3d8+9 bludgeoning damage, the target is  grappled  (escape DC 23). A target  grappled  by the  shoggoth\xe2\x80\x99s  pseudopod is  restrained . \n'b'  Engulf . The  shoggoth  moves up to its speed, and can enter other creatures\xe2\x80\x99 spaces if they are Huge or smaller. Each creature whose space the  shoggoth  moves into must make a  Dex  save (DC 18); a creature  grappled  by the  shoggoth  automatically fails. On a success, the creature is pushed as far as the  shoggoth  moves, or out of its path to the side. On a failure, the  shoggoth  engulfs the creature and can keep moving. An engulfed creature can\xe2\x80\x99t breathe. It is  restrained  and moves with the  shoggoth . An engulfed creature can escape by using an action to make a  Str  check (DC 23), moving to a space adjacent to the  shoggoth  if it succeeds. \n'b'  Crushing Suction . A creature engulfed by the  shoggoth  takes 6d8+9 bludgeoning damage, or half damage if it makes a  Con  save (DC 23). \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' A massive, iridescent heap of black protoplasm, this obscene creature forms eyes, pseudopods, and bubble-like extrusions as it pulses and moves. It mimics sounds nearby in a thin, piping myriad of voices. \n'b' Long ago shoggoths were bred from the earliest protoplasm of earthly life to serve as the mindless slaves of a mysterious ancient race. In time they gained a degree of malign intelligence and rose against their masters, destroying their civilization and laying their vast stone cities to waste. Shoggoths linger still in the crumbling ruins of their long-dead creators; they eagerly pursue and devour any organic creature unlucky or foolish enough to venture within their grasp. \n'b' Shoggoths are naturally formless and plastic, easily able to shape their bodies to a variety of purposes. They are horrifically strong, and can crush or pull apart the toughest prey with ease-in fact, they are notorious for pulling the heads off their victims.'
