Traits

Sunlight Vulnerability.

While in sunlight, the snake has disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. When the snake begins its turn in sunlight, it immediately suffers 10 radiant damage.

Undead Fortitude.

If damage reduces the snake to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the snake drops to 1 hit point instead.

Actions

Multiattack.

The snake makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with a constrict attack.

Bite.

Melee Attack Roll: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Constrict.

Melee Attack Roll: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained and the snake cannot constrict another target.
