Limited Amphibiousness

You can breathe air and water, but you must be fully submerged in water at least once a day.

Frenzy

Once per round, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, the creature takes an extra 1d4 damage if it's below its hit point maximum. You can do this a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, and you regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Blood Lust

When you hit a creature with a critical hit, you gain temporary hit points equal to double your Constitution modifier.

Shark's Bite

Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
