Familiar

Tak-nwa's familiar is an elephant hawk moth named Yon-so. Yon-so has a fly Speed of 40 feet, darkvision, and scent as an imprecise sense to a range of 30 feet.

Choking Hair

As long as Tak-nwa has a creature grabbed with her hair, the creature cannot breathe and must succeed at a DC 5 flat check any time they attempt an action that involves speaking (including linguistic effects and Casting a Spell with a verbal component). On a failure, the action is disrupted.

Empowered Hair

Tak-nwa has mastered using her prehensile hair in combat. She can use her living hair to perform precise tasks such as picking up objects and performing simple Interact actions, and she can automatically Grab with her hair, as the creature ability. She can also deliver hexes through her hair. Whenever Tak-nwa successfully casts a hex focus spell that requires 2 or more actions to cast and that doesn't require a spell attack roll, if her target is within reach, as part of the spellcasting activity she can make a hair Strike against the foe before applying any effects of the hex. If this Strike misses, the hex has no effect.

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a success with a Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or it has a creature grabbed using this action.

---

Effect The monster automatically Grabs the target until the end of the monster's next turn. The creature is Grabbed by whichever body part the monster attacked with, and that body part can't be used to Strike creatures until the grab is ended. Using Grab extends the duration of the monster's Grab until the end of its next turn for all creatures grabbed by it. A grabbed creature can use the Escape action to get out of the grab, and the Grab ends for a grabbed creatures if the monster moves away from it.
