Sand Swimmer

Defenses

Saving Throws: Constitution +8.

Characteristics

False Appearance. While the Sand Swimmer remains motionless, it's indistinguishable from a sand dune.

Surprise Attack. If the Sand Swimmer surprises a target and hits it with an attack during the first round of combat, the target takes 10 (3d6) extra damage on that attack.

Burrow/Emerge. Using an action, the Sand Swimmer can bury itself deep in sand, earth, ice, mud, or solid rock. This ability lasts for up to 1 minute. If the Sand Swimmer uses an attack action while submerged this way, the attack is considered a surprise attack, and the effect of this ability ends after the attack.

Desert Native. The Sand Swimmer has advantage on checks to resist the effects of desert heat and ignores difficult terrain caused by fine sand.

Attacks

Bite. Melee Natural Weapon Attack, +6 to hit, 10 ft. reach, one target. On a hit, deals 29 (4d12+3) Piercing damage.
