Actions

Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) 2d8+4 piercing damage. If the target is a creature other than an undead, plant, or construct, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or lose 2 (1d4) hit points at the start of each of its turns due to a bloody wound. Each time the xystoselachus hits the wounded target with this attack, the damage dealt by the wound increases by 2 (1d4). Any creature can take an action to stanch the wound with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Medicine) check. The wound also closes if the target receives magical healing.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (5d6 + 4) 5d6+4 piercing damage. If the xystoselachus makes a critical hit, there is a 10% chance that the target loses a limb.

Sharks whose interlocking jaws easily sever limbs, while their jagged horns are used in fights for territory.
