The megapede consumes one unattended Medium or smaller metal object or attempts to consume a metal object worn or held by the creature it is grappling. The grappled creature must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or the object is consumed. If the object is a magic item, the creature has advantage on the saving throw. Magic items consumed by the megapede stay intact in its stomach for 1d4 hours before they are destroyed.
