Description |
Combat They hunt by holing up near high-traffic areas, using their natural coloration to blend into convenient shadows. When prey (virtually anything that moves) ventures near, they lash out with their tentacles. A grick's rubbery body seems to shed blows of any kind. Its jaws are relatively small and weak compared to its body mass, so rather than consume its kill immediately, the grick normally drags its victim back to its lair to be eaten at its leisure. Skills: *Their coloration affords gricks a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks when in natural rocky areas. |
