Heated Body. A creature that touches the remorhaz or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 40 (6d10 + 7) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) fire damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 17). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the remorhaz can't bite another target.
Swallow. The remorhaz makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, that creature takes the bite's damage and is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the remorhaz, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the remorhaz's turns.
If the remorhaz takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the remorhaz must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the remorhaz. If the remorhaz dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Posted Jul 7, 2020Does the Heated Body feature mean, that a fighter with three attacks would suffer 3d6 fire damage per attack or once per turn?

Posted Aug 11, 2020So a swallowed creature would have disadvantage on it's attacks against the creature because of the blinded/restrained condition?

Posted Sep 12, 2020Does the fire damage applied to the swallowed ones? They are touching it continously.

Posted Sep 16, 2020I have the same question. I'm thinking it would cause fire damage as well, but 9D6 damage is a lot. It could also be that the acid damage includes the fire damage.

Posted Sep 30, 20201. The fire does not apply to the swallowed ones If they do not attack.
If you want to explain it anatomically, you may say that the "blood" is boiling, but its digestive track needs a very specific temperature to digest its prey, so it's separate from the external, hot blood/organs.
It is already established that she can control its body temperature, and the regulation of temperature during digestion makes sense due to other microorganisms that help with this kind of thing, and they need a "not-so-hot" environment to live.
2. By what it is written, If they attack it from the inside, they would be taking fire damage too.
You may explain this using the other argument. Because they would be carving their way inside the creature, thus making way to boiling-hot blood.
3. A nice DM could rule that the fire damage does not happen when attacked from the inside.
I would consider ruling it like that If my intention with the encounter was not a TPK.
Because this creature is ruthless.

Posted Jan 30, 2021Storm Kings Thunder Story: We were all at the giant Annam oracle, and when we found the remorhaz guarding the axe, we were too low level to beat it. We then made a plan to use the big rocks hanging from the ceiling, crushing the monster. To get some extra damage in, we also turned it into a sloth and dumped it off a cliff, then we lured it back and herded it under the rock using thunder wave. It was quite fun.
