Shredding Teeth. The axe edge is lined with serrated shark teeth. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. If it fails, the creature begins to bleed uncontrollably. The creature has disadvantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws until it regains hit points. Any shark teeth that are broken off grow back the next day.
Shark Frenzy. For 1 minute, you are frenzied by the smell of blood. You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature with blood that doesn’t have all its hit points. This feature can be used once per day.
Proficiency with a battleaxe allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.

As you near the tower, a storm rolls in from the ocean. Sky Sharks patrol the sky around Kaminamia’s tower, swooping down through the rain for surprise attacks. The inside of the conjurer’s tower is no less dangerous.
Kaminamia is guarded by a devoted Cloud Giant named Cirrus. He wields a deadly Shark Tooth Axe, protecting his mistress while she tries to summon an eldritch horror. Replace the cloud giant’s Morningstar attacks with Shark Tooth Axe attacks.
