"name": "False Appearance" - "desc": "The elemental's eyes and mouth remain closed and undetectable except\ \ when it is awake. An orange glow penetrates the water where its eyes and mouth\ \ are when they are opened." "name": "Glowing Eyes and Mouth" - "desc": "The mouth of the elemental is solid rock, 20 feet thick. It opens only\ \ during a Whirlpool or a Regurgitate action, then closes promptly when that\ \ event is complete." "name": "Mouth" - "desc": "The stomach of the elemental is an undersea cavern that glows bright\ \ orange at the bottom. During a Regurgitate, the floor of the cavern rises\ \ to meet the elemental's mouth, causing everything inside it to be expelled.\ \ Conversely, the cavern's floor sinks 100 feet from the mouth during a Whirlpool.\ \ At all times, the stomach is completely filled with water, regardless of its\ \ size." "name": "Stomach" "actions": - "desc": "The elemental opens its mouth, creating a vortex that is 50 feet wide\ \ at the base, up to 500 feet wide at the top, and 250 feet tall. Any creature\ \ or object in the water and within 250 feet of the vortex is pulled 50 (1d4\ \ * 25) feet toward the center. A creature can swim away from the vortex by\ \ making a DC 9 Strength (Athletics) check. When a creature enters the vortex\ \ for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength\ \ saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage\ \ and is caught in the vortex until the spell ends. On a successful save, the\ \ creature takes half damage, and isn't caught in the vortex. A creature caught\ \ in the vortex can use its action to try to swim away from the vortex as described\ \ above, but has Disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so. The\ \ first time each turn that an object enters the vortex, the object takes 2d8\ \ bludgeoning damage; this damage occurs each round it remains in the vortex.\ \ An object or creature that is 50 feet or less from the mouth of the elemental\ \ becomes swallowed. The whirlpool lasts 10 rounds, and the elemental may not\ \ take a Regurgitate action until after the whirlpool is complete."

"name": "Smash" - "desc": "The elemental opens its mouth and belches, creating a 20-foot tall wave\ \ that travels from its mouth for 100 feet and then crashes down. Any Huge or\ \ smaller vehicles in the wave's path are carried with it to the other side.\ \ Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25 percent chance of\ \ capsizing. Anything the elemental has swallowed is expelled with this water." "name": "Regurgitate (3/day; Recharges after a Whirlpool is completed)" "source": - "TBVIV"
