Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Blighted Shark carry the Blighted Scourge infection. A creature hit by the shark's attacks must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.

Blood Frenzy. The Blighted Shark has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn’t have all its hit points.

Blighted Thrash (Recharge 5–6). The Blighted Shark releases a burst of blighted energy as it thrashes. Each creature within a 10-foot radius must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 16 (3d10) blighted energy damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures that fail the save also advance one stage in the Blighted Scourge infection.
Description
A massive, nightmarish predator lurks beneath the waves, its once-pristine form now twisted by the corrupting essence of the Blighted Scourge. Its sleek, scarred body pulses with dark veins of blighted energy, and its mouth drips with a sickly violet glow. The shark's lifeless, glowing eyes fixate on prey with an eerie intelligence, and its movements through the water leave behind a faint, toxic shimmer. Each thrash of its tail sends ripples of corruption into the depths, spreading the blight wherever it swims.
