Traits
Poor Vision. Tendril puppets see almost nothing beyond 30 feet away.
Regeneration. The tendril puppet regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and is in jungle terrain.
Root Mind. Within a vine lord's forest or jungle, the tendril puppet's blindsight extends to 60 feet, it succeeds on all Wisdom (Perception) checks, and it can't be surprised.
Green Strider. The tendril puppet ignores movement restrictions and damage caused by natural undergrowth.
Magic Resistance. The tendril puppet has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
