SPECIAL ABILITIES
Darting Claw (Ex)
Evolved for snatching fast prey, a shark crab is exceptionally quick with its claws. When making a full attack, if a shark crab misses with both of its claw attacks, it can make an additional claw attack at a -2 penalty against any creature within its reach.
Pincers (Ex)
Shark Crab can use both claws as a standard action every 1d4 rounds while doing 2d6+13 bludgeoning damage per claw.
Water Dependency (Ex)
Crabs can survive out of the water for 1 hour per point of Constitution. Beyond this limit, a crab runs the risk of suffocation, as if it were drowning.
