Man Overboard. As a bonus action while underwater, the Castaway can extend a lure up to 50ft away from its mouth in an unoccupied space on the surface of the water. The lure appears to be an Incapacitated medium humanoid and can make groans and small movements to sell this appearance. A skeptical creature can use its action to inspect the lure, revealing it to be false upon a successful DC 18 Intelligence(Investigation) check.
Organically Adhesive. The Castaway's lure adheres to any creature that touches it. A large or smaller creature adhered to the lure is grappled(escape DC 15). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.
Water Breathing. The Castaway can only breathe underwater.
Multiattack: The Castaway uses Reel, then it makes two Bite attacks. It can use Swallow in place of one of these Bite attacks.
Reel: The Castaway pulls any creature grappled by its lure up to 50ft straight toward it.
Bite: Melee weapon attack, +9 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. Hit 21(3d10+5) piercing damage.
Swallow: The Castaway makes a Bite attack against a large or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed and the grapple ends. The swallowed creature is Blinded and Restrained, has total cover against attacks and all other effects outside the Castaway, and takes 17(5d6) acid damage at the start of each of the Castaway's turns. If the Castaway dies, a swallowed creature is no longer Restrained and can escape from the corpse using 10ft of movement, exiting Prone.
Description
"You see a man floating in the water all by his lonesome out in the deep waters, do not touch him. Below, a creature waits just begging for a creature to touch its lure."
Castaways are creatures of monstrous proportions that dwell in relatively shallow water, not exceeding 100ft in depth. They've evolved and developed a lure that resembles a medium humanoid. The gender of the humanoid the lure is mimicking represents the gender of the Castaway it is attached to. Their true name has been lost to the pasts of Rhymorra, so they are just called what they mimic. This lure is exceptionally adhesive, much like the tongue of a frog and even the slightest touch will trigger the Castaway to pull its lure into its mouth and swallow the creature whole. However, this lie-and-wait tactic doesn't fool everyone, especially those underwater. Castaways aren't below attacking a creature that it sees underwater but will flee at the first sight of a larger predator, such as a Megalodon, a Devil Shark, Krabken, or the Silence.
