Babau Full Attack with Longspear and Bite...

[HoloGnome]

How is it that a babau demon's statblock shows a full attack of longspear and bite? Is he presumed to be taking a 5' step back-and-forth between weapon/natural attacks? I don't see any other way it could work.

For example:
1. Bite, 5' step back, 2 longspear attacks
2. Next Round - repeat if foe stepped in to 5', or if foe still at 10', 2 longspear attacks, then 5' step in and bite
3. Next Round - repeat #1, etc.

He can't be adjacent and attack with the longspear (reach weapon) and his natural attack only has 5' reach. Or, is the combination just a statblock error?

Don't assume he has only a single opponent that he is facing.

Well...true...there's that, too. But, otherwise, is there anything missing. Otherwise, he is set up to be misadjudicated by GMs who don't consider that the attacks have different reach stats.
