:Everything that is disgusting and terrible, an otyugh loves. Even ogres, those wretched things, find an otyugh's personal habits and lifestyle vomit-inducing.  Otyughs perform an important ecological function in lairs and dungeons, disposing of the wastes of the rest of the inhabitants, but it certainly doesn't improve their breath.

:Otyughs also have the peculiar habit of venerating certain pieces of trash above others in their lairs.  Often, they will build shrines to a collection of broken glass shards, or a bent tea kettle, placing it somewhere it can easily regard it when it takes its ease amid the filth and refuse of its lair.  While these shrines are not, themselves, particularly clean, they demonstrate an inscrutable reverence and spirituality to the otyugh's nature.

| Ability-1-Description = Any time the otyugh hits a creature with a tentacle, it may make a free grab attack against the creature in addition to dealing damage, rolling its Maneuver Offense (1d20 + {{#var:Special1-Maneuver-Offense}}). If the result is equal to or greater than the target's Maneuver Defense, the creature is [[Grabbed]]. Unlike a normal grab, the otyugh suffers no ill effects for sustaining the grab.  While grappling a creature with a tentacle, the otyugh may not use that tentacle to attack any creature other than the one grabbed (see Constrict below).  No creature may be grabbed by more than one tentacle at a time, even tentacles from other otyughs.  Grabbed creatures may attempt to end the [[Grabbed]] condition on their turns (or take any other action available to them while grappling).

| Ability-2-Description = If an otyugh makes a standard attack or full attack action and begins that action with one or more creatures [[Grabbed]], it may use that tentacle to constrict the creature.  Constrict deals {{#var:Special2StandardDmg}} damage to the creature, and the creature must make a Fortitude save, DC {{#var:Special2SaveDC}}, or become [[Bruised]].  Constrict may be used once per tentacle, assuming the otyugh has two different creatures grabbed, but a given tentacle cannot use Constrict on the same round that it used Grab.
