Crocodiles are aggressive predators 11 to 12 feet long. They lie mostly submerged in rivers or marshes, with only their eyes and nostrils showing, waiting for prey to come within reach.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a crocodile must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a
grapple as a
free action without provoking an
attack of opportunity. If it wins the
grapple check, the crocodile establishes a hold on the opponent with its mouth and drags it into deep water, attempting to pin it to the bottom.
Skills: A crocodile has a +8 racial bonus on any
Swim check to
perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a
Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the
run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. *A crocodile gains a +4 racial bonus on
Hide checks when in the water. Further, a crocodile can lie in the water with only its eyes and nostrils showing, gaining a +10
cover bonus on
Hide checks.
