-'''Constrict''' (ex): A crab deals damage equal to twice its normal claw damage plus its Strength bonus on a successful grapple check.
-'''Improved Grab''' (ex): To use this ability, a crab must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. Crabs have a +4 racial bonus and can use either Strength or Dexterity bonus on grapple tests.
-'''Amphibious''' (ex): Al tough crabs are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.
-'''Vermin Traits''': A crab is immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).
-'''Skills''': A crab has a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Spot checks.

-These bottom-dwelling sea creatures are dangerous only to their prey. If disturbed, they usually try to escape.
-'''Improved Grab (Ex)''':To use this ability, an octopus must hit an opponent of any size with its arms 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, it establishes a hold and automatically deals bite damage. It can use either Strength or Dexterity for grapple tests.
-'''Ink Cloud (Ex)''' An octopus can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 5 feet high by 5 feet wide by 5 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the octopus normally uses to escape a losing fight. All vision within the cloud is obscured. Ink Could only works underwater.
-'''Jet (Ex)''' An octopus can jet backward once per round as a full-round action, at a speed of 100 feet. It must move in a straight line, but does not provoke attacks of opportunity while jetting. Jet only works underwater.
-'''Hold breath (Ex)''' An octopus can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 8x its Constitution score before it risks drowning. For a typical octopus, this is 88 rounds, well over 8 minutes.
-'''Skills''': An octopus can change colors, giving it a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks. An octopus also can squeeze and contort its body, giving it a +10 racial bonus on Escape Artist checks. An octopus 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.
