Capsize (attack) The lusca tries to capsize an adjacent aquatic vessel of its size or smaller. It must succeed at an Athletics check with a DC of 35 (reduced by 5 for each size smaller the vessel is than the lusca) or the pilot’s Sailing Lore DC, whichever is higher.

Lusca Venom (poison) Saving Throw Fortitude DC 38; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 4d6 poison damage and clumsy 1 (1 round); Stage 2 6d6 poison damage and clumsy 2 (1 round)

Ravenous Jaws The lusca makes three jaws Strikes, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the lusca’s multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn’t increase until after the lusca makes all of these attacks. If the lusca subsequently uses the Grab action, it Grabs any number of creatures it hit with Ravenous Jaws.
