Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (3d12+7) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8+7) slashing damage.
Steam Breath (Recharge 5-6). The turtle exhales scalding steam in a 60-foot cone. Each creature there takes 52 (15d6) fire damage on a failed DC 18 Constitution save, or half as much on a success.
