The roper makes two tentacle attacks.

⚔ Reel (minor 2/round, at-will)

The roper makes an attack against a creature it has grabbed; +18 vs Fortitude; on a hit, the target is pulled 5 squares. The roper can use this power only against a grabbed target once per turn.

+19 vs AC; 2d10+10 damage.

Stony Body

A roper that does not move, retracts its tentacles, and keeps its eye and mouth closed resembles a jagged rock formation, stalagmite, or stalactite. In this form, the roper can be recognized with a successful DC 30 Perception check.

Tentacle Grab

The roper can attack and grab with up to two tentacles at a time. While grabbing an enemy, it can act normally, but it can't use that tentacle for another attack. Enemies can attack the tentacle to make the roper let go of a grabbed creature; the tentacle's defenses are the same as the roper's. An attack that hits the tentacle does not harm the roper but causes it to let go and retract the tentacle.
