False Appearance. While motionless, the roper is indistinguishable from a normal stalactite or stalagmite.
Spider Climb. The roper can climb even on difficult surfaces and upside down on ceilings.
Tendrils. The roper has eight tendrils. Each tendril has AC 20, 15 hit points, vulnerability to slashing damage, and immunity to psychic damage. A creature can also break a tendril by taking an action to make a DC 15 Strength check. A tendril takes no damage from sources other than attacks. The roper grows back any destroyed tendrils after a long rest.
