Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the target takes 14 (4d6) poison damage and the target is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful saving throw, the target takes half damage and isn’t poisoned.

While the target is poisoned, its speed is halved, it can’t use reactions, and it can take only one action or one bonus action on each of its turns, and regardless of abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn. If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher, the spell doesn’t take effect until the creature’s next turn, and the creature must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it can’t, the spell is wasted.
