This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.\n\nThe monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn."

Salamanders have serpentine lower torsos, but humanoid upper bodies with toothy reptilian snouts. Their affinity for cruelty and violence puts them in close alliance with the demons of the Abyss.
