Aura (Heat, touch). Any creatures or objects which touches a Remorhaz must make a DC 19 Fortitude Save (or DC 19 Reflex Save for the wielder of an object without its own save) or take 6d6 fire damage.
Actions
Bite. Melee Strike +14/+9/+4 (reach 15 feet, unarmed) with 3d6+6 piercing damage plus Grabbed Condition (DC 19)
Swallow Whole (Bite). As a Single Action, a Remorhaz can attempt to swallow a creature that is at least one size smaller which it has currently Grabbed with the listed Strike. This is an Athletics check against the target’s Passive Athletics. If it succeeds, it swallows the target, inflicting listed Strike’s damage in the process. Each round after being swallowed, the target automatically takes 2d6 fire and 4d8 acid damage. The swallowed target is considered to still have the Grabbed condition, while the Remorhaz is no longer considered to have a creature Grabbed. A swallowed target can try to cut its way free with any weapon that is 1 bulk or less and deals slashing or piercing damage or can try to escape the Grabbed condition with double disadvantage like trying to climb back out. The Remorhaz’s stomach has AC 6 and 17 damage is required to cut an escape out of its stomach. If a swallowed target cuts its way out, the Remorhaz cannot use Swallow Whole for two rounds. If a swallowed target escapes through overcoming the Grabbed condition, it is treated as being back in the Remorhaz’s mouth where it must spend an action jumping out or it will be in danger of another Bite attack and being Swallowed Whole again.
