| Description |
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the giant squid must hit a Medium-size or smaller opponent with a tentacle rake attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict. Constrict (Ex): A giant squid deals automatic tentacle rake damage with a successful grapple check against Medium-size or smaller creatures. Ink Cloud (Ex): A giant squid can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 20 feet high by 20 feet wide by 40 feet long once a minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the squid normally uses to escape a losing fight. Creatures within the cloud suffer the effects of total darkness. Jet (Ex): A giant squid can jet backward once a round as a double move action, at a speed of 320 feet. |
