Electroreception. Specialised nerve endings in the bill of the giant
platypus detect the electrical currents generated by the muscle
contractions of its prey, allowing it to sense the presence of all
creatures within a 1 mile radius that are in the same body of
water. The giant platypus does not need to be able to see or hear
for this to take effect.
Hold Breath. The giant platypus can hold its breath for 30
minutes

disadvantage on dexterity checks and saving throws.

If the target creature is paralyzed the giant platypus can instead choose to replace this bite attack with the swallow action.
