The carnivorous ship can breathe air and water. \n'b'  Drones . Each day at dawn, the carnivorous ship produces up to 12 vaguely humanoid drones. Drones share a telepathic link with the carnivorous ship and are under its control. A drone uses the statistics of a  zombie , except it can\xe2\x80\x99t be knocked  prone  while on the carnivorous ship and can attach itself to the ship as a  reaction  when the ship moves. The carnivorous ship can have no more than 12 drones under its control at one time. \n'b'  Shapechanger . The carnivorous ship can use its action to  polymorph  into a Gargantuan ship (such as a galleon) or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn\xe2\x80\x99t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies. \n'b'\n'b' Actions \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The carnivorous ship makes two bite attacks. \n'b'  Bite .  Melee Weapon Attack : +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.  Hit : 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 18 (4d8) acid damage. \n'b'  Spit Cannonballs . The carnivorous ship spits cannonball-like lumps of indigestible metal at up to three points it can see within 100 feet of it. Each creature within 5 feet of a point must make a DC 18  Dexterity  saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \n'b'  Surge . The carnivorous ship moves up to 400 feet in a straight line and can move through Huge and smaller objects as if they were  difficult terrain . This movement doesn\xe2\x80\x99t provoke opportunity attacks. If it moves through a Huge or smaller object, the object takes 55 (10d10) bludgeoning damage. If it moves through a ship, the ship\xe2\x80\x99s pilot can make a DC 15  Wisdom  check using navigator\xe2\x80\x99s tools, halving the damage on a success. \n'b'\n'b' About \n'b' The prow of the ship opens into a gigantic, tooth-filled maw, while humanoid-shaped blobs of flesh swarm over the rails. \n'b'  Bribable . A giant cousin to the  mimic , the carnivorous ship is a cunning hunter of the seas. Wise captains traveling through known carnivorous ship hunting grounds carry tithes and offerings to placate the creatures. \n'b'  Solitary Ship Eaters . Carnivorous ships live and hunt alone. Though they prefer to consume wood, metal, rope, and cloth, they aren\xe2\x80\x99t above eating flesh and readily eat entire ships, crew and all. They reproduce asexually after a season of particularly successful hunts. Young carnivorous ships are about the size of rowboats and use the statistics of a  mimic , except they also have one drone. As they age, they grow in size, eventually gaining more drones. \n'b'  Drones . Carnivorous ships create vaguely humanoid drones from the flesh of their bodies. These drones are mindless and act under the mental direction of the carnivorous ship. From a distance, the drones appear to be a crew as they move about the deck of the carnivorous ship, but closer inspection reveals their true nature. When the carnivorous ship attacks another ship at sea, the drones swarm over the rails onto the target ship and take down the crew that would stop the carnivorous ship from enjoying its meal.'
