Multiattack. The cthurkey attacks with its tentacles. If that attack succeeds, it can make one attack with its bite on the same turn. It can only bite Grappled targets.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 7 (2d6) piercing damage.

Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit: 11 (2d8+2) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 12). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained, and the chturkey can’t constrict another target.

The cthurkey has the body of a large bird without feathers, the tentacles and mouth of an octupus, and the legs of a crab. Ancient legends teach that it once was offered as a burnt sacrifice to unknown gods of gluttony, then consumed by the supplicants.
