This is an Athletics check against the target&#8217;s Passive Athletics. If it succeeds, it swallows the target, inflicting Bite damage in the process. Each round after being swallowed, the target automatically takes 1d8+6 acid damage. The swallowed target is considered to still have the Grabbed condition, while the Sea Serpent 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 Sea Serpent&#8217;s stomach has AC 22 and 22 damage is required to cut an escape out of its stomach. If a swallowed target cuts its way out, the Sea Serpent cannot use the Swallow Whole ability for two rounds. If a swallowed target escapes through overcoming the Grabbed condition, it is treated as being back in the Sea Serpent&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Tail.<\/em><\/strong> Melee Strike +18\/+13\/+8 (reach 20 feet, unarmed) with 4d8+6 bludgeoning damage and inflicts the Grabbed condition (DC 29).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Incidental<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spine-frilled neck arching up from the water like a snake ready to strike, this ship-sized serpent hisses a challenge.
