The child of the briar has advantage on saving throws against being  charmed , and magic can\xe2\x80\x99t put it to  sleep . \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The child of the briar makes two Claw attacks. If both attacks hit a Medium or smaller creature, the target is  grappled  (escape DC 13). At the start of each of the  grappled  creature\xe2\x80\x99s turns, it takes 2 (1d4) piercing damage. The child of the briar can have only one target  grappled  at a time. \n'b'  Claw .

While within 10 feet of at least one other child of the briar, this child can cast the  entangle  spell (spell save DC 13). Each friendly child of the briar within 30 feet of this child can use its  reaction  to join the casting. For each child beyond the first participating in the casting, the save DC increases by 1, to a maximum of DC 17, and the  size  increases by 5 feet, to a maximum of a 40-foot square. The entangled area must include at least one of the children involved in the casting. All participating children of the briar are immune to the spell\xe2\x80\x99s effects. Its eyes gleam like polished walnuts, and its sly smile seems oddly placed on the tiny body, covered in spikes and thorns. The creature\xe2\x80\x99s waist is no thicker than a clenched fist, and its sinuous arms are no wider than a finger but twice the length of its body. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b'  Born of Magic . Children of the briar are a frequent nuisance to fey and mortal alike. They grow in deep briar patches in forest clearings or along sunny hillsides and riverbanks. More rarely, they spawn when a  sorcerer  or magical creature\xe2\x80\x99s blood is spilled on the forest floor, or when summoned into being by obscure druidic items of power. \n'b'  Thorn Fortresses . Despite their size, children of the briar gather in great numbers, cultivating ancient forest thickets into veritable fortresses. Wise men flee when they hear the clicking language in the underbrush, for children of the briar have the capricious wickedness of spiteful children and a taste for blood. \n'b'  Spies and Scouts . From their lairs, children of the briar creep far and wide to spy on the forest\xe2\x80\x99s inhabitants, sometimes using spiders, monstrous centipedes, and giant dragonflies as mounts. They converse with travelers bearing interesting news, but their words are thorned with gleeful malice, jealous bile, and lies. They are not above murder. They trade news and gossip for trinkets, favors, and drops of spilled blood. \n'b'  Fey Blessed . The fey have long used children of the briar as spies and informants. The power of the fey courses through their veins, allowing them to work simple magical tricks and slip between the mortal and fey realms with relative ease.'
