Whales

Whales are titanic beasts that roam the Skies, gliding through the air without wings, their grace, majesty, and power on full display for all. Covered in dense hide, thousands of pounds of shock-absorbing fat, and dense magical bones, whales are one of the most sought after and dangerous animals in the Fractured Skies.

Actions

Multiattack. The whale makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its tail, one with its bite and one with its slam, or one with its slam and one with its tail.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d8 + 8) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the whale. A swallowed creature has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the whale, and it takes 3 (1d6) acid damage at the start of each of the whale’s turns. If the whale takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the whale must succeed on a DC 16 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 whale. If the whale dies, a swallowed creature can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Slam: Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 44 (6d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage, or 88 (12d10 + 16) bludgeoning damage if the target is an object.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage, or 37 (6d6 + 16) bludgeoning damage if the target is an object.
Laser Eyes (recharge 5-6): The whale looks upon a target with its disintegrating eye beams. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 45 (10d8) force damage. If this damage reduces the creature to 0 hit points, its body becomes a pile of fine gray dust.
