Grappler. Advantage on attack rolls vs. any creature grappled by it.
Object Mimicry (Object or Terrain Form). Shape minor pseudopods into Med or smaller objects. Creature that sees one can tell it is an imitation with DC 15 Wis (Insight) check. Creature with half its body in contact with object (ex: sitting on “chair”) is subject to Adhesive.

Target: DC 14 Dex or 24 (7d6) piercing damage and pseudopod stuck in it. While pseudopod is stuck target restrained and 10 (3d6) acid at start of each of its turns mimic can use bonus action to pull target up to 30' to its nearest wall ceiling or similar surface.
