Description: A grinding grabber looks like a cross between a fiery red lobster and a wingless mosquito, with huge vises instead of pincers. It tries to catch prey in the vises and squeeze and grind it to death. It then sucks up the paste. A grinding grabber cannot speak or understand any language, nor does it value treasure.
Combat: A grinding grabber will attempt to catch prey in its massive vise-like claws. If it succeeds it will squeeze it to death. If allies of caught prey are especially pesky, the grinding grabber will attempt to hit with its proboscis and suck the liquid out of them.
Improved Grab (Ex): If the grinding grabber gets a hold with its claw it can automatically squeeze the victim as a free action each round that it maintains its hold.
Blood Drain (Ex): If the grabber hits with its proboscis it takes a mighty pull of blood from the victim, dealing 1d6 points of temporary constitution damage.
Spit Acid (Su): The grinding grabber can spit a line of acid up to 100’; this line is 5’ wide. The acid deals 10d6 hp of acid damage (Reflex half, DC 24).
Amphibious (Ex): The grinding grabber can live and breathe both on land and in water. It needs to be able to wet itself every day, however, or it will suffer one point of constitution damage each day.
What do you guys think? How's the CR? (The official guesstimator sucks, in my opinion.)
