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.

Claw
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Other data
description
Cousins to mountain lions, corpsejaws are battlefield scavengers. Their powerful jaws allow them to tear through most armor, so they can eat carrion other scavengers leave behind. Military organizations such as the Free Swords issue bounties on corpsejaws to prevent damage to valuable salvage.
