{{5e Ability|Multiattack|The worm makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its stinger.}}

{{5e Ability|Bite|''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +9 to hit, {{srd5lc|Reach}} 10 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 22 (3d8+9) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage. If the target is a {{SRD5|Large}} or smaller creature, it must succeed on a {{SRD5|DC}} 19 {{SRD5|Dexterity}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}} or be swallowed by the worm. A swallowed creature is {{srd5lc|Blinded}} and {{srd5lc|Restrained}}, it has {{srd5lc|Total Cover}} against attacks and other effects outside the worm, and it takes 21 (6d6) {{srd5lc|Acid}} damage at the start of each of the worm's {{srd5lc|Turn}}s.

If the worm takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the worm must succeed on a DC 21 {{SRD5|Constitution}} saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall {{srd5lc|Prone}} in a space within 10 feet of the worm. If the worm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.}}

{{5e Ability|Tail Stinger|''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. ''Hit:'' 19 (3d6+9) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage, and the target must make a {{SRD5|DC}} 19 {{SRD5|Constitution}} saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) {{srd5lc|Poison}} damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.}}
