Extract Brain. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one incapacitated Humanoid. Hit: 35 (10d6) piercing damage. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the neh-thalggu kills the target by extracting and consuming its brain.

Mind Blast (Recharge 5–6). The neh-thalggu magically emits psychic energy at one Humanoid it can see within 10 feet of itself. The target must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 9 (2d8) psychic damage and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and isn't incapacitated.
