Giant Sundew (Medium plant, CR 1/2)
A sundew is a carnivorous plant that lives in bogs with sticky leaves. When insects get stuck, the leaves wrap around the insect, trapping it further and slowly digesting it.
Note that this enemy can't move and thus should occupy a location the players need to pass through. Additionally, there should be other threats that force the players to deal with it quickly and to make the threat of being grappled significant. If they can snipe at it from a distance at their leisure, and have already discovered it, I recommend skipping the combat, because the conclusion is inevitable and the combat is thus tedious.
First appeared in "Don't get bogged down!"

| Skills | Stealth +5, Athletics +5 |
| Senses | Passive Perception 10 |
| Languages | None |
| Challenge | 1/2 (100 XP) |
Actions
Multiattack: The sundew makes two attacks: either two tendril strikes, or a tendril strike and wrap.
Tendril strike: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft, 3 acid damage and the target is grappled. The sundew has advantage against grappled creatures.
Wrap: +5 to hit vs one grappled crature. Deal 3 acid damage. The target is restrained (DC 13 to break free or for another character to free the target). The target remains restrained if the sundew is incapacitated or killed.
Bog Corpse (Medium undead, CR 1)
The bog corpse remembers less of its life than even the zombie; it remembers nothing but drowning.
It lies in wait in the swamp, sleeping for centuries, until someone walks by, then ambushes them and tries to drag them under the water.
This would make a very swingy battle, especially as a solo monster against level 1 players. The intended effect is that after one tense battle, the players are cautious about wading into the bog, and perhaps take precautions when getting too close to the edge.

The bog-beast is even older than the bog-corpse: some ancient long-dead animal from before humans walked the earth.
Like the bog-corpse, it lies sleeping beneath the moss, but when it awakens it simply tramples and gores like it did in life.
