Hold Breath
The wurm can hold its breath for 30 minutes.
Noxious Resilience
The wurm has advantage on saving throws made against harmful gases and vapors (such as the effects of a stinking cloud or a green dragon's poison breath).
Tunneler
The wurm can burrow through solid rock at half its burrowing speed and leaves a 5-foot-diameter tunnel in its wake.
Volcanic Body
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) fire damage.
Actions
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) fire damage.
Molten Spray (Recharge 5-6)
The wurm exhales molten metal in a 15-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 14 (4d6) fire damage and its speed is reduced by 10 feet. If a target's speed is reduced to 0 by this effect, it becomes restrained. A creature can take an action to scrape or wash off the metal, ending the effect. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and its speed isn't reduced.

description
Found most often burrowing through the igneous rock of dormant, active, or extinct volcanoes, the lava wurm is a ferocious draconic creature that lives off the rock they tunnel through. Although highly dangerous, the movements of lava wurms are followed as closely as possible by smiths who value them as natural smelters of the volcanic rock. The wurm can expel the undigested, molten metal from their gullet when threatened or expel it as the highly sought-after slag leavings.
