Shapechanger. The werecrocodile can use its action to polymorph into a crocodile-humanoid hybrid or into a crocodile, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Hold Breath. The werecrocodile can hold its breath for 15 minutes.
Lunge. If in shallow water and hidden, the werecrocodile can move up to 15 ft. towards an opponent as a bonus action prior to making an attack.
Drag. In water (including shallow water) the werecrocodile can drag a grappled creature at full speed.
Multiattack. A werecrocodile can make a bite and tail slap in the same turn provided its mouth is not busy with a grapple.
Action. Bite Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) piercing damage. Once a bite attack is successful the target must succeed on a DC 13 Acrobatics throw or be grappled. A grappled creature is restrained while grappled. A grappled creature takes bite damage every round and must pass a DC 14 Strength check with disadvantage in order to break free.
Action. Tail Slap: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. The target must succeed on a DC Dex or Str roll in order to avoid being knocked back 5 ft. and prone to the ground. A target grappled by Bite cannot be hit with Tail Slap.
Description
A werecrocodile is a patient predator, but behind that veneer lies a ferocious beast. In humanoid form, a werecrocodile has very rough skin and a noticeable underbite. Most werecrocodiles patiently wait in crocodile form in large bodies of water, lashing out at prey that draws too near, typically entering hybrid form to attack prey further inland. Most werecrocodiles build simple dens near rivers, lakes, and swamps, and while they tend to dislike others of their kind, multiple werecrocodiles might hunt in the same area, and a werecrocodile that hunts particularly well might share its spoils with other werecrocodiles.
