Blood Frenzy. The juvenile land shark has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn’t have all its hit points.

Liquefying Aura. When the juvenile land shark is burrowed or burrowing, the ground within 15 feet of it liquefies, behaving as water. Creatures in the area sink into the ground and must burrow or swim to move, but they are able to breathe as though above ground. Ground that has been liquefied returns to its original state once more than 15 feet away from the land shark. A creature fully submerged under the ground when this change occurs becomes buried and must hold its breath or begin suffocating. Once a minute, the creature can use an action to attempt a DC 12 Strength (Athletics) check, digging 10 feet toward the surface on a success or 5 feet on a failure. A creature partially above the ground or swimming along the surface is restrained and can use an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a success, the creature climbs out of the ground and is no longer restrained.

Actions
