Adamantine Jaws

The corpsejaw's bite works as if made of adamantine. The bite scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Keen Smell

The corpsejaw has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Pounce

If the corpsejaw moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or fall prone. If the target is prone, the corpsejaw can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
