The arboreal grappler makes one Bite  attack  and two Tentacle attacks. \n'b'  Bite .  Melee Weapon Attack : +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

Until this grapple ends, the target is  restrained . The arboreal grappler has two tentacles, each of which can grapple only one target. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Long, simian arms snake through the trees like furred serpents, dangling from a shaggy, striped ape in the leafy canopy above and trying to snare those below. \n'b' An arboreal grappler is a malformed creation of the gods, a primate whose limbs warped into long, muscular tentacles covered in shaggy, red fur. \n'b'  Carry Prey to the Heights . Arboreal grapplers use their long limbs to snatch and drag prey behind them as they use their powerful forelimbs to ascend to the highest canopy. Victims are constricted until their struggles cease and then are devoured. \n'b' The grapplers\xe2\x80\x99 flexible tentacles are ill-suited for terrestrial movement; they must drag themselves clumsily across open ground too wide to swing across. \n'b'  Clans in the Canopy . Arboreal grappler tribes build family nests decorated with bones and prized relics of past hunts. These nests are built high in the jungle canopy, typically 80 feet or more above the ground. Clans of 40 or more spread across crude villages atop the trees; in such large settlements, a third of the population are juveniles. These nests are difficult to spot from the ground; a DC 20  Wisdom  ( Perception ) check is required. A creature observing an arboreal grappler as it climbs into or out of a nest has advantage on the check. \n'b'  Carnivorous Elf Hunters . Grapplers are carnivorous and prefer humanoid flesh, elves in particular. Scholars suggest this arises from hatred as much as from hunger, citing records of various humanoids hunting arboreal grapplers millennia ago.'
