The shoggoth doesn\xe2\x80\x99t require air. \n'b'  Absorb Flesh . When the shoggoth kills a creature while within 15 feet of it, the creature\xe2\x80\x99s body is absorbed into the shoggoth\xe2\x80\x99s. The creature can be restored to life only by means of a  true resurrection  or a  wish  spell. \n'b'  Amorphous . The shoggoth can move through a space as narrow as 1 foot wide without squeezing. \n'b'  Hideous Cacophony . The shoggoth\xe2\x80\x99s many mouths constantly emit whistles, fluting, and other high-pitched noises. It has disadvantage on  Dexterity  (Stealth) checks made to be unheard. Each creature that starts its turn within 60 feet of the shoggoth and that can hear it must make a DC 19  Wisdom  saving throw or be disoriented until the start of its next turn. A disoriented creature is  incapacitated , and when it moves, it moves in a random direction. Unless surprised, a creature can cover its ears to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can\xe2\x80\x99t hear until the start of its next turn, when it can cover its ears again. If the creature uncovers its ears in the meantime while within 60 feet of the shoggoth, it must immediately make the save. A creature that is covering its ears and that has access to cloth, wax, or similar material can stuff its ears with the material as a bonus action to free up its hands, deafening itself while the material remains stuffed in its ears. \n'b'  Keen Hearing and Smell . The shoggoth has advantage on  Wisdom  (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. \n'b'  Limited Mutability . Any spell or effect that would alter the shoggoth\xe2\x80\x99s form alters it for only 1 round. Afterward, the shoggoth returns to its amorphous blob form. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The shoggoth makes four Slam attacks. It can replace two Slam attacks with a use of Crush. \n'b'  Slam .  Melee Weapon Attack : +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target.  Hit : 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18) if it is a Large or smaller creature. \n'b'  Crush . The shoggoth crushes up to two creatures it is grappling by rolling them beneath its bulk. Each target must succeed on a DC 19  Strength  saving throw or take 30 (4d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage, be unable to breathe, and be  restrained  until the grapple ends. If the shoggoth moves, a creature beneath it is no longer  restrained  and is able to breathe, but it remains  grappled . \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' The giant, gelatinous blob of flesh releases whistles, trills, and chirps as it rolls forward, forming and reabsorbing mouths, eyes, and ears across its body. \n'b' A shoggoth is an intelligent, gelatinous blob capable of manipulating and reshaping its body. Created by an elder race as servants, the shoggoths rebelled long ago and slew their masters without pity. Since that time, they\xe2\x80\x99ve lived in isolated or desolate regions, devouring whatever they encounter and absorbing its flesh into their own amorphous, shifting forms. \n'b'  Constant Growth . Shoggoths continue growing throughout their lives, though the eldest among them grow very slowly indeed. Some shoggoths may shrink from starvation if they deplete a territory of resources. \n'b'  Mutable Form . A shoggoth can form any number of eyes, mouths, tentacles, or other appendages as needed, though it lacks the control to take and maintain the shape of another creature.'
