Features

Lightning Absorption. Whenever a shambling mound is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and regains a number of hit points equal to the lightning damage dealt. 

Actions

Multiattack. The shambling mound makes two slam attacks. If both attacks hit a Medium or smaller target, the target is grappled (escape DC 14), and the shambing mound uses its Engulf on it.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) bludgeoning damage.

Engulf. The shambling mound engulfs a Medium or smaller creature grappled by it. The engulfed target is blinded, restrained, and unable to breathe, and it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the start of each of the mound’s turns or take 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the mound moves, the engulfed target moves with it. The mound can have only one creature engulfed at a time.

End of the SRD5 material

Unofficial Description: A shambling mound appears as a large mass of vegetation, often vaguely anthropoid in shape.

 [SRD3 OGL] [5] 
 3.5e lore 
Shambling mounds, also called shamblers, appear to be heaps of rotting vegetation. They are actually intelligent, carnivorous plants.

A shambler’s brain and sensory organs are located in its upper body.

A shambler’s body has an 8-foot girth and is about 6 feet tall when the creature stands erect. It weighs about 3,800 pounds.



 [6] 
 1e lore 
Appearing as a heap of rotting vegetation, the shambler is actually an intelligent form of vegetable life. It is generally from 6' to 9' in height, with a girth of about 6' on its base and 2' at its summit.
