Traits

Legendary Resistance (3/Day).

If the elder dinosaur fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance.

The elder dinosaur has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Siege Monster.

The elder dinosaur deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Frightful Presence.

Each creature of the elder dinosaur's choice within 120 feet of it and aware of it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the elder dinosaur is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself ona success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the elder dinosaur's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Swallow.

The elder dinosaur makes one bite attack against a Large or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, that creature takes the bite's damage, 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 outside the elder dinosaur, and it takes 56 (16d6) acid damage at the start of each of the elder dinosaur's turns. If the elder dinosaur takes 60 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of it. If the elder dinosaur dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Multiattack.

The elder dinosaur can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes five attacks: three with its bite, {@note This statblock does not have these actions available.}. It can use its Swallow instead of a bite.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 36 (4d12 + 10) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 20). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. If the elder dinosaur has three targets restrained in this way, it can't bite another target.

Legendary Actions

Attack.

The elder dinosaur makes one claw attack, tail attack, wing attack, or flipper attack.

Move.

The elder dinosaur moves up to half its speed.

Chomp (Costs 2 Actions).

The elder dinosaur makes one bite attack or uses its Swallow.
