Deformity, Unhinged Jaw [Deformity] The cheeks split open with a snake like bite readying itselfPrerequisites: Willing Deformity^BoVDBenefit: Your cheeks can now split open along with your jaw bone being split down the middle to open your mouth. You gain a bite attack which deals bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage equal to a short sword of your size. If you already have a bite attack increase its damage die by one step instead

You are also allowed to swallow a target whole if they are at least 1 size category smaller than you. You can make a grapple check to try and swallow another creature whole. If successful, you will begin swallowing your target. It takes three rounds to swallow a normal target which means you must make additional grapple checks every turn, though your target will take an additional -2 per check each time after and your own check will be reduced.

Eaten creatures can attempt to make their escape by making their predator vomit them out or cutting them open, however the predator makes a fortitude save with a DC equal to the number of hours left until the victim is digested. The prey takes 1d6 acid damage and 1d6 bludgeoning each turn they remain as the stomach begins to digest them.

Creatures take d4 hour to determine how long digestion will take, adding +1 to the roll depending on their size (ex: Fine= 1d4. Medium =5d4). All your movements are decrease by 10 ft to the minimum of 5 ft movement till you are done. You heal based on how much the creature's HP had by the time digestion ends. You are unable to swallow another body till you are finished digesting. Special: . This feat counts as the Swallow Whole ability for prereqs. If you have Stomach Mouth you can swallow prey up to the same size category as you. If you have Digesting Saliva, Digestion is measured by 10 turns instead of hours.
