Actions
Multiattack. The tardigrade makes two claw attacks.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: , reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: slashing damage, and the target is grappled.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: , reach 5 ft., one Larger or smaller creature grappled by the tardigrade. Hit: piercing damage, and the target is swallowed and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects from outside the tardigrade, and it takes acid damage at the start of each of the tardigrade's turns. If the tardigrade takes 15 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the tardigrade must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 5 feet of the tardigrade. If the tardigrade dies, an ingested creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone. The tardigrade can ingest one Large creature, or up to two Medium or smaller creatures at a time
