Now taking a look at it his senses now you’ll see 30 feet of darkvision and a passive perception of ten which kind of puts it in line with the average for the cr 1/4.

And he also gain access to spider climb. It can climb difficult surfaces including upside down on ceilings without needing an ability check. Very cool stuff! Needless to say kind of designed to be a mount. Now let’s take a look at his actions here. Don’t miss this giant subterranean lizard 5e.
Actions
- Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.
You make one action, that is bite. This is a melee weapon attack +4 to hit, reach of five feet, it can only target one target and deals six piercing damage on a hit, calculated by rolling 1d8 and adding two. In terms of how i would use them in my games, i probably just have them as modes of transporation.
I think that is the best way to use them, maybe give them to noblemen i think that’d be kind of cool, kind of more exotic kind of mount. But outside of that, taking a look at their stats like it’s not really anything that particularly stands out to me same with their action and not really anything too too fancy but they would make a great mount so that’s how i’d use them.
