Actions

Multiattack. The prehistoric honey badger makes one bite attack and one crunch attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 15).

Crunch. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one grappled creature. Hit: The target suffers from broken bones and must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the beginning of each of its turns. On a failed saving throw, the target cannot take any actions or reactions during that turn. If the target receives magical healing or takes a long rest, the effect ends.
