Description

Giant Flying Lobsters look like big lobsters. The only strange thing is that they hover above the ground. They do not have wings, their flight powers appear to be magical in nature. They can hover up to 10' above the ground, and can fly until they tire.

Combat

Giant Flying Lobsters attack with their two pincers, doing 1-8 points of damage with each successful hit. If they hit, and if the roll is 18 or higher, they have trapped an opponent's limb with a pincer. This does not do extra damage, but a character with a trapped limb cannot move that limb until the Lobster releases it.

Habitat

These strange creature live near underground lakes. They catch and eat small fish. All though they seem to be able to communicate with each other, they do not have a spoken language.

Ecology

Giant flying lobsters have the same role in nature that lobsters have. However, they are known to attack humanoids.
