Filter Feeding. When the shark moves, it can enter a Medium or smaller creature's space. The first time it enters a creature's space, that creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, being swallowed on a failed save.
Water Breathing. The shark can breathe only underwater.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d12 + 4) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the shark. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the shark, and it takes 14 (4d6) acid damage at the start of each of the shark's turns. The shark can have only one target swallowed at a time.
If the shark takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the shark must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the shark. If the shark dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Description
A basking shark is a filter-feeding shark recognized for its disproportionately large mouth. While not particularly aggressive, their size and feeding habit of swimming along with their massive jaws open wide and swallowing everything caught inside can make these gentle giants an unwitting threat. A fully grown basking shark is 20 to 26 feet long.
