Combat
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.
Hold Breath (Ex)
A crocodile
can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 4 x its Constitution score
before it risks drowning.
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.
