Actions
Multiattack
The drone makes two Claw attacks.
Claw
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) lightning damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 15). The drone has two claws, each of which can grapple only one target.
Crystalline Spit (Recharge 5–6)
The drone spits crackling gel in a line 5 feet wide and 20 feet long. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 14 (4d6) lightning damage and is restrained by the gel, which hardens into crystal. The creature is restrained until the crystal is destroyed. The crystal has AC 15, 15 hit points, immunity to poison and psychic damage, and vulnerability to thunder damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't restrained.
