Attacks
Slithering Charge: Slithers forward on its belly. Does this right after emerging from sand. Falls over when low on stamina.

Side Bite: Simply bites to the side.

Tail Sweep: Swings its tail while turning to the side. Always does two.

Hip Check: Positions its side toward the target, then slams its hip into it.

Burrowing Charge: While in the sand, swims forward with a cloud of dust behind it and strikes the target with its fin. Ends with a 180 degree turn. (Blinded)

Chicken Charge: Rears its head up and runs while waving its tail. Will always dive into the sand afterwards.

Sand Beam: Rears its head back and shoots a sandy projectile in front of it. (Waterblight)

Sweeping Sand Beam: Stands tall and shoots a sand beam while sweeping its head around. (Waterblight, Stun)

Rising Sand Beam: Stands tall, bends its head, and shoots a sand beam while slowly raising its head. Can also do this while in the sand before retreating back in. (Waterblight, Stun)

Sand Leap: Jumps out of the sand, causing a huge wave of dust and staying in the air for a while before crashing to the ground. (Blinded)

Burrowing Lunge: While in the sand, dives under and causes a quake. Then jumps out at the target and ending with a Slithering Charge.

Thrash: While in the sand, dives down and sticks its tail out of the sand, then whips it forward and crashes it into the ground.

Uprising Spin: While in the sand, dives down below, causes a quake, and then jumps straight out of the sand before crashing back in.

Whirlpool: On land, dives headfirst into the sand. Then, raises its fin aboveground and swims rapidly around the target. A whirlpool forms and after six seconds, or when something is dragged to the center, the Tawny Plesioth rockets out of the sand and into the target. (Stun)

Roar: Unlike Plesioth and Green Plesioth, Tawny Plesioth can roar loudly when enraged.
