Traits

Amphibious. The zamtrios can breathe air and water.

Actions

Multiattack. The zamtrios makes two Bite attacks.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) piercing damage.

Ice Armor. While the zamtrios is Huge, it can coat its body in ice, increasing its AC by 5 but reducing its movement speed by 10 feet for 1 minute.

Ice Drill. If the zamtrios ice armor is active and it is underground, it can use this action to unburrow in a space occupied by one or more creatures. Each creature is pushed 5 feet out of the zamtrios space and must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 13 (3d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 13 (3d6 + 3) piercing damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.

Water Torrent (Recharge 5–6)The zamtrios fires a high pressure beam of water across a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Bonus Actions

Expand (2/day). The zamtrios greatly expands its belly for 1 minute. While expanded, the zamtrios is Gargantuan, has resistance to bludgeoning damage, and its ice armor is destroyed. If the zamtrios lacks the room to become Gargantuan, it attains the maximum size possible in the space available. The zamtrios can repeat this bonus action to revert back to its original size.

Description

Zamtrios is a large, quadrupedal monster with grey-blue skin and yellow fins. It 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 its 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 now is able to produce a type of "armor". It 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 balls of snow at them to stop its movement. Zamtrios have an under layer of skin directly under its skin used to replace previous old one. Its 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 from inside its body. Zamtrios primarily spend most of its time in the water or under ice, constantly roaming around its territory and searching for prey. Like the Zamites, Zamtrios have huge appetites and have a single mind set on finding prey and to kill or eat any intruders in its territory. If Zamtrios have an enemy in its sight, they may actually chase them for miles upon miles of ice. During the breeding season Zamtrios will come together and mate. When female Zamtrios have mated they will then lay its eggs within the ice.
