[ And that move manages to distract Finn, even if it's just for the second he's reaching out to make sure James is still breathing. The beast takes advantage as its swinging its massive head back, this time with a spray of acid near its torso. Too close. Finn can feel the heat, can smell it, and its enough to make him remove the sword and hop back, attempting to reassess.
But he's gotten far enough away that the thing can reach him without being too awkward, and it's faster than Finn first assumes. It rams into him with the brunt of the (hopefully useless) claw he was trying to cut off, right into the torso. He sails a ways before landing hard on the sand, winded but alive and just aware enough to hear it burrow back underground.
