Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage plus 3 (1d6) acid damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the ankheg can bite only the grappled creature and has advantage on attack rolls to do so.

Skeletons

A skeleton is a corpse, stripped of the flesh and soft tissues, and raised as an undead creature animated by necromantic magic. Skeletons do not appear to have a will of their own but attack the living in crude imitation. The skeleton of a humanoid is likely to be equipped with a weapon, while a beast raised as a skeleton is likely to attack with a bite or bony claws. They are sometimes encountered as servants of a necromancer, whose simple commands they follow, but are also found in isolation, haunting a crypt, graveyard, or ruin which they defend mindlessly.
