Ambush Predator. If the mole rat hits with an attack after moving using its burrow speed, it can disengage as a bonus action.

Maternal Instinct. While there are any mole rats left for the brood mother to protect, and until it fails its Constitution saving throw after all mole rats have been killed, it has the following benefits:

  • Advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • Advantage on saving throws against becoming Frightened.
  • +2 to the damage of all attacks.
  • Resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If the brood mother takes damage after all mole rats have been killed, it makes a Constitution saving throw. The DC equals 10 or half the damage to the brood mother, whichever number is higher. On a failed save the brood mother loses the benefits of Maternal Instinct and uses its turns to attempt to flee, only attacking if it is cornered.

Actions

Multiattack. The mole rat brood mother makes two attacks.
Bite. Melee weapon attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage.
