Amphibious. The Zamtrios can breathe air and water.
Expand (2/day). The Zamtrios can use a bonus action to greatly expand its belly for 1 minute. This increases its size to Gargantuan and gains resistance to bludgeoning damage. This action also removes Ice Armor if it is active. As a bonus action, the Zamtrios can end this effect and revert back to its original size.
Multiattack. The Zamtrios makes two bite attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack. +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16(3d8+3) piercing damage.
Ice Armor. The Zamtrios coats its body in ice, increasing its AC by 5, but reducing its movement speed by 10 ft. for 1 minute.
Ice Drill. If the Zamtrios’ Ice Armor is active and the Zamtrios is underground it can then use this action to unburrow in a space occupied by another creature. The creature is pushed 5 feet out of the Zamtrios’ space and myst succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and take 13 (3d6+3) slashing damage plus 13 (3d6+3) piercing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half damage, and isn’t knocked prone.
Water Torrent (Recharge 5-6). The Zamtrios shoots a beam of water from its stomach across a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save.

Description
Zamtrios is a large, quadrupedal monster with grey-blue skin and yellow fins. Is is superficially shark-like in appearance, with a long, pointed snout and a mouth filled with multiple rows of sharp teeth. As the adult form of Zamite, its limbs are powerful and fully-developed. Its skin is extremely elastic in order to accommodate its inflation abilities.
Zamtrios is a powerful predator, but these Fanged Beasts mostly feed on plants, nuts, and mushrooms, though they will sometimes eat meat. From the size of the Lagombi, it’s very possible Zamtrios would try to hunt them. Though Zamtrios prefer to feed on smaller helpless prey, they are still quite dangerous in their own right. Zamtrios have even been found to feed on Plesioth in tropical waters. The massive and aggressive Gammoth can seriously injure, if not outright kill the Amphibian if confronted.
Zamtrios is a very strange Amphibian with many bizarre adaptations. Zamtrios now lacks the sharp spike its juvenile form has, but is now able to produce a type of “armor.” Is is able to produce this armor by secreting a special fluid from its skin that eventually freezes around it, forming this icy armor. This armor acts as a secondary protection against threats and also acts as a weapon. When it forms this armor, it will also produce a long, rigid spike made of ice on top of its head, replacing the spike it once had, and spike on its tail as another weapon. When it’s not using its icy armor it will use freezing water to attack threats or prey from a distance and will spit palls of snow at them to stop their movement.
Zamtrios have an under layer of skin directly under their skin used to replace damaged skin.Their teeth, like saws, cut up prey just by rubbing against them.
When Zamtrios is heavily damaged while it has its icy armor, it will go through one of the most dramatic changes in nature. It will expand its body and inflate itself to several times its original body size. It goes through this change to intimidate an attacker and is able to do this from gas that it produces inside its body.
Zamtrios spend most of their time in the water or under ice, constantly roaming around their territory and searching for prey. Like the Zamites, Zamtrios have huge appetites and have a single minded focus on finding rey and to kill or eat any intruders in their territory. If Zamtrios have an enemy in their sight, they may actually chase them for miles upon miles of ice. During their breeding season Zamtrios will come together and mate. When female Zamtrios have mated they will then lay their eggs within the ice.
