Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the catfish can't bite another target. Swallow. The catfish makes one bite attack against a Large or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. The swallowed target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the catfish, and it takes 10 (3d6) acid damage at the start of each of the catfish's turns. The catfish can have only one target swallowed at a time. If the catfish dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Colossal catfish are uncommon, slow-moving filter feeders, dwelling at the surface of massive rivers and deep lakes. Some water dwelling races use them as effective long-haul mounts, even running shops on their backs. Despite their dull appearances, colossal catfish are rather intelligent, capable of understanding some basic commands.
