    Swallow Whole: If the corpse gatherer swallows a victim whole, the swallowed victim also 3 HP per second, restoring 3 HP per second to the corpse gatherer. Victims with abilities such as Innate Attack and Spines can hit the corpse gatherer automatically while swallowed. The corpse gatherer gets no active defense against internal attacks. The victim can escape the pin as usual, climbing back up the corpse gatherer’s throat.
