Forest Camouflage. The morth has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in forests, woodlands, or other terrain of abundant foliage.

Actions

Cling. Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit, reach 0 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 10). Until this grapple ends, the morth can't move or attack another target.


Bonus Actions

Charge. The morth moves a distance up to its speed directly towards a hostile creature it can see.

“ “These creatures attack in groups and cling to the bodies of their prey. A spin attack is the best way to shake them off. They're light and vulnerable to deku leaf blasts.”
— Nintendo Gallery Figurine

A morth appears as a black sphere with numerous protruding orange barbs, featuring a single crimson pupil surrounded by a green iris. Its movement is limited to erratic hops.
     Weaponized Offspring. Morths are the newborn offspring of mothula, comparable to either eggs or larvae. Their primary purpose is to slow down and hamper any and all creatures they come across. They seem to do this to make prey easier for their parent mothula to hunt down, or to prevent predators from giving effective chase. Morths do this even if there is no mothula present, acting entirely on a very basic instinct. Morths are usually only found in the vicinity of mothula. They are typically born in a large swarms. It is exceedingly rare for any of them to actually reach adulthood, but the lucky ones at least grow up to be moths.
     Environment: Forest, Ruins
