Capsize (attack) — The bregdi 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 bregdi) or the pilot's Sailing Lore DC, whichever is higher.
Swallow Whole (attack) — Medium, 2d8+7 bludgeoning damage, Rupture 18
The monster attempts to swallow a creature of the listed size or smaller that it has grabbed or restrained in its jaws or mouth. If a swallowed creature is of the maximum size listed, the monster can't use Swallow Whole again. If the creature is smaller than the maximum, the monster can usually swallow more creatures; the GM determines the maximum. The monster attempts an Athletics check opposed by the grabbed creature's Reflex DC. If it succeeds, it swallows the creature. The monster's mouth or jaws no longer grab a creature it has swallowed, so the monster is free to use them to Strike or Grab once again. The monster can't attack creatures it has swallowed.
A swallowed creature is Grabbed, is Slowed 1, and has to hold its breath or start suffocating. The swallowed creature takes the listed amount of damage when first swallowed and at the end of each of its turns while it's swallowed. If the victim Escapes this ability's grabbed condition, it exits through the monster's mouth. This frees any other creature grabbed in the monster's mouth or jaws. A swallowed creature can attack the monster that has swallowed it, but only with unarmed attacks or with weapons of light Bulk or less. The swallowing creature is Off-Guard against the attack. If the monster takes piercing or slashing damage equaling or exceeding the listed Rupture value from a single attack or spell, the swallowed creature cuts itself free. A creature that gets free by either Escaping or cutting itself free can immediately breathe and exits the swallowing monster's space.
Effect: Engulf and Swallow Whole
If the monster dies, a swallowed creature can be freed by creatures adjacent to the corpse if they spend a combined total of 3 actions cutting the monster open with a weapon or unarmed attack that deals piercing or slashing damage.

Tug — The bregdi pulls a creature it can reach or a creature holding something it can reach (such as a fishing line in the water).
The bregdi attempts an Athletics check against the creature's Fortitude DC. On a success, it pulls the creature into an adjacent space. On a critical success, the bregdi can also make a jaws Strike against the creature pulled into an adjacent space.

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLAND / AQUATICWhile this predator grapples and swallows one target, a ranged attacker freely engages the rest of the party from a safer distance.
AnvilLAND / AQUATICA durable frontline body keeps other threats occupied while this ambush predator focuses its grab and swallow on an isolated target.
ShadeLAND / AQUATICA stealthy ambusher can strike alongside this predator's surprise attack from the water before the party can reposition.
PUNISHES
✖ isolated targets✖ boats and vessels✖ low Fortitude
Avoid stacking with another grab-and-swallow predator; both need the same isolated victim for their finishing attacks to work.
