The mastigoproctus makes three attacks: two with its claws and one with its bite. If it hits the same target with both claws it gains Advantage on the bite attack. Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). The mastigoproctus has two claws, each of which can grapple only one target. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit (with Advantage if target already grappled), reach 5 ft., one target. Hit 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage.Acetic Spray (Recharge 5-6). The mastigoproctus shoots an acrid irritant fluid from glands near its tail; the spray can cover either a 20-foot cone or a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide; each creature sprayed must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, failure results in blindness for 1d6 rounds or until the target washes away the fluid.DescriptionUropygids are Thelyphonida, commonly called long-tailed whip scorpions or vinegaroons. Mastigoproctus is a particularly large genus of uropygid, and the giant version has a body about 12 feet long. Like other giant uropygids, it is a nocturnal scorpion-like arachnid found in damp and dark places such as jungles, forests and the underdark. An uropygid's tail and front legs are long and whip-like, it uses all three like antennae to feel about itself. Mastigoproctus have strong scorpion-like claws augmented with spikes for piercing prey.Uropygids are named "vinegaroons" from the vinegar stink of a defensive liquid they squirt at enemies. The uropygid can spray this fluid in any direction it can bend its abdomen's tip, including in front of itself. A giant mastigoproctid is unaffected by this fluid and is highly resistant to all other forms of acid and poison.Giant uropygids lair in burrows dug in earth or soft rock. Females seal themselves inside a hollow while nursing a clutch of 5d6+10 eggs, then carry their newborn hatchlings about on their backs.Drow elves often keep giant mastigoproctids as guardians and hunting beasts. The dark elves have bred and magically tinkered with these "pets" for millenia and may be responsible for their resistance to venom and corrosives.(Uropygids first appeared as Giant Pedipalps (Uropygi) in Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits (1980) by Gary Gygax and David C. Sutherland III, the original author was Sutherland)</blockquote>
