We know that Multiattack is an action a monster can take. If a monster has two actions, then it stands to reason it can Multiattack twice if it has two actions, in the same way that the Fighter can Attack action twice with Extra Attacks when using Action Surge.
Can a creature grapple with Multiattack?
Generally, no. The monster’s Multiattack entry will specify not just the number of attacks they can take, but which of their attacks (defined in the same section of their statblock) they are allowed to take. They can’t just swap any of those out with grapple or shove or any other attacks they might have.
Is Action surge an op?
It’s very op as a splash ability on a level x character. Action Surge scales with total character levels, rather than class levels. As a result, it’s going to be a very attractive dip for high-level characters. It’s not going to be very attractive for low or mid level characters as a dip.
Can a monster break up a multiattack action?
Since a monster’s multiattack action is composed of multiple attacks, could a monster break that action up? Example: Could a yuan-ti abomination take the multiattack action, making a bite attack, then moving 30ft., making a scimitar attack, then move 10ft. and make a constrict attack?
Can a creature with multiattack use it on an opportunity?
Additionally, multiattack specifies that it can’t be used in this way. From the DM Basic Rules, page 6: A creature that can make multiple attacks on its turn has the Multiattack ability. A creature can’t use Multiattack when making an opportunity attack, which must be a single melee attack.
Can a creature make more than one attack on its turn?

Its worded similar to the player version…
Can You multiattack twice with the extra attack?
That means that not only do you not get two Multiattack s, but if you take the Multiattack action you don’t get a second attack from Extra Attack either, because only the Attack action triggers Extra Attack’s benefits.
