|feature1=False Appearance
|flimit1=
|fdesc1=While the roper remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal cave formation, such as a stalagmite.

|feature2=Gasping Tendrils
|flimit2=
|fdesc2=The roper can have up to six tendrils at a time. Each tendril can be attacked ({{SRD5|AC}} 20; 10 {{srd5lc|Hit Point}}s; immunity to {{srd5lc|Poison}} and {{srd5lc|Psychic}} damage). Destroying a tendril deals no damage to the roper, which can extrude a replacement tendril on its next {{srd5lc|Turn}}. A tendril can also be broken if a creature takes an {{srd5lc|Action}} and succeeds on a DC 15 {{SRD5|Strength}} check against it.

|feature3=Spider Climb
|flimit3=
|fdesc3=The roper can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an {{srd5lc|Ability Check}}.

|action1=Multiattack
|alimit1=
|adesc1=The roper makes four attacks with its tendrils, uses Reel, and makes one attack with its bite.

|action2=Bite
|alimit2=
|adesc2=''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 22 (4d8+4) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage.

|action3=Tendril
|alimit3=
|adesc3=''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +7 to hit, {{srd5lc|Reach}} 50 ft., one creature. ''Hit:'' The target is {{srd5lc|Grappled}} (escape {{SRD5|DC}} 15). Until the grapple ends, the target is {{srd5lc|Restrained}} and has {{srd5lc|Disadvantage}} on {{SRD5|Strength}} checks and Strength {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}s, and the roper can't use the same tendril on another target.

|action4=Reel
|alimit4=
|adesc4=The roper pulls each creature grappled by it up to 25 feet straight toward it.
