ACTIONS
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage.
Tusks. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) piercing damage.
Body Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the giant walrus moves at least 20 feet straight towards the target before the attack, it can immediately use its reaction to make an attack with its tusks.
Crushing Weight. While on land or ice, the giant walrus moves 5 feet to enter the space of a Large or smaller creature. The creature makes a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or takes 13 (3d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone and restrained until the walrus moves from the spot. A creature can use an action to free itself or another restrained creature with a DC 13 Strength check. On a successful save a creature takes half damage and isn’t knocked prone or restrained.
Far less malicious than their otherworldly kin, walruses can nevertheless be dangerous opponents when threatened, especially since they are social creatures that travel in groups. Giant walruses in particular can be incredibly violent if they have witnessed the slaughter of their kind, or if there is a wailrus nearby, driving them to a frenzy.
