Verdant Regeneration. The reaper regains 10 Hit Points at the start of each of
its turns while in contact with plant life. If the reaper takes fire damage, this trait doesn’t function on the reaper’s next turn. The reaper dies only if it starts its turn with 0 Hit Points and doesn’t regenerate.
Vision of the Undergrowth. The reaper only has Blindsight when in contact with plant life.

Tendril. Melee Attack Role: +5, reach 15 ft. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) Bludgeoning
damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, the reaper pulls the target 5 feet straight toward itself.
