Action
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d6 + 6) piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be swallowed by the worm. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the worm, and it takes 17 (5d6) acid damage at the start of each of the worm's turns. If the worm takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the worm must succeed on a DC 18 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 worm. If the worm dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.
Action
Multiattack
The worm makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its stinger.
Action
Tail Stinger
Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

If the creature dies, a swallowed creature is no longer Restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 5 feet of Movement, exiting prone. Swallowed creatures take damage each round equal to 1/4 this creature's weakest normal melee attack until they escape; escaping requires cutting your way out (AC as creature; stomach has HP equal to 1/4 the creatures' total HP max).
