D&D 5E - so a crocodile and a pc fighter go into a grapple ...

Posted by Fernande Dalal on Wednesday, August 21, 2024
I would like some clarification in this.

Once a crocodile successfully bites a huge or smaller creature, it automatically grapples it, right? So, in the next rounds, as long as the character fails to break the grapple, does the crocodile get free damage bite rolls? Or he attack rolls normally? Can the crocodile pin down the character for advantage in those attack rolls?

I'm guessing in the case of no free damage, the only reason a croc would grapple would be to move the grappled victim to the bottom of the swamp/lake/river and bite/drown him to death (hence his hold breath ability).
