Low-Light Vision

The monster can see in dim light as though it were bright light, so it ignores the Concealed condition due to dim light.

Scent

Scent involves sensing creatures or objects by smell, and is usually a vague sense. The range is listed in the ability, and it functions only if the creature or object being detected emits an aroma (for instance, incorporeal creatures usually do not exude an aroma).

If a creature emits a heavy aroma or is upwind, the GM can double or even triple the range of scent abilities used to detect that creature, and the GM can reduce the range if a creature is downwind.

Deep Breath

Old Crackjaw can hold its breath for 30 minutes.

Clench Jaws One Action

Requirements Old Crackjaw damaged a creature with a jaws Strike in its previous action


Effect Old Crackjaw clenches its jaws down and automatically deals an additional 2d8 bludgeoning damage to the creature it just bit.

Gnawing Bite Two Actions

Old Crackjaw makes a jaws Strike against an object. This counts as two attacks when calculating Old Crackjaw's multiple attack penalty. If this Strike hits, Old Crackjaw deals an extra die of weapon damage to the object.

Shell Defense One Action

Old Crackjaw retracts its limbs and head into its shell and ends its turn. This increases its AC to 25, but it can't act except to reemerge, which it can do as a single action.


Snapping turtles are freshwater reptiles with a long flexible neck, a sharp piercing beak, and a confrontational temperament that doesn't prevent some spellcasters from choosing these creatures as familiars. They weigh about 20 pounds and have shells around 18 inches in length.
