SPECIAL ABILITIES

Regrowth (Ex)

A sea crawler regrows a lost tentacle as per regenerate after 1 week. This does not heal or remove any conditions from the sea crawler.

Remarkable Grip (Ex)

When a creature breaks free of a sea crawler’s grapple, the sea crawler remains in an adjacent square as if still grappling its prey, even if the creature moves. The sea crawler can attempt to grapple as a free action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity if it remains attached to a creature at the start of its turn.

A creature can remove the sea crawler as a move action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity.

A sea crawler can detach itself as a free action.

ECOLOGY

Organization solitary or pair
Treasure none
