Searching for lobster, ostrich, and clam-like monster stats

Hey, ya'll. For a random idea that's percolating, I need D&D stats for lobsters, ostriches, and clams (well, clam-based monsters are acceptable). Humanoid versions would be acceptable, but I would prefer just flat-out stats.

Can anyone help me?

You can find Ostriches in Nyambe from Atlas Games.

I don't know about any clams or lobsters, but you might check out these threads:

Lobsterfolk appear in Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene, from Kenzer.

Stats for "Flightless Bird, Ostrich" appear on page 10 of Bestiary of the Realms, Volume 1 (3.0).

And there is a Giant Clam in the Tome of Horrors Revised, or a 3.0 version here.

And while I'm here, I'm going to punt this thread which contains my very nearly complete index of all D&D creatures .

You can find ostriches in this PDF I wrote for Fiery Dragon: http://fierydragon.com/downloads/familiars.pdf

For lobsters, just use scorpion stats, but take away the poison, give it a swim speed and the Improved Grab/Constrict ability.

...

Why? Are you sure you shouldn't just skip right to playing Synnibar?

Krynn's flightless birds are included in the Bestiary of Krynn, Revised (and the non-revised version, but the revised version's got updated stat blocks). They're the austrich, 'wari, and emre... aka ostrich, cassowary, and emu. Yes, it's a little sad.

There are stats for the giant crayfish in Dragon 319 (I think). You could use that for a lobster.

Thanks, everyone! Now I feel indebted to ya'll for being so helpful. Maybe I'll buy everyone a cookie . . . You've very neatly solved my problems!

Of course, no sooner do I say that than another crazy question needs answering Anyone know about stats for sea urchins or something similar?

STormwrack has giant crabs.

Claudio, scorps have constrict already. They grind PC's up really bad even before the poison kicks in.

Here is one based off the large scorpion stats.
Lost: 30' of land speed, poison sting DC14 [1d4 Con /1d4 Con]
Gained: 50' Swim, aquatic subtype, amphibious special quality, +1 HD, +2 Str.

Fair trade? Or would an aquatic scorpion be the same CR without it's sting?

Monstrous crayfish are normally patient bottom feeders, but are likely to attack any creature that approaches them. Those whose habitats include dry land often lay in wait for creatures near water, charging when prey nears the water and dragging the prey underwater while tearing it apart.

Constrict (Ex) [/B] A Monstrous crayfish deals automatic claw damage on a successful grapple check.

Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a Monstrous crayfish must hit with a claw attack. A Monstrous crayfish can use either its Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for grapple checks, whichever is better.

Skills A Monstrous crayfish has a +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Spot checks.
