SPECIAL ABILITIES

Shared Empathy (Su)

Mindclaws gain any bonuses or penalties from emotion effects affecting creatures within 30 feet. A mind claw can only benefit from the same spell or effect once regardless of bonus type or number of creatures affected by a single effect, but mindclaws do gain bonuses and penalties from other mindclaws within 30 feet. Mindclaws cannot be the target of an emotion effect (as vermin are immune to mind-affecting effects), but do not gain saving throws against emotion effects affecting other creatures.

ABOUT

Environment any water
Organization solitary or reef (2-10)
Treasure none

Mindclaws retain the psychic impressions of countless dead. They behave like mindless crabs most of the time, but their simple nervous systems process powerful emotions and are easily influenced by magic.

An adult mindclaw is 15 feet tall and weighs 4,000 pounds.
