An attached scum creeper  is effectively grappling its prey and gets a +12 racial bonus on grapple checks (already figured into the Base Attack/Grapple entry above).An attached scum creeper can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself. To remove an attached scum creeper through grappling, the opponent must achieve a pin against the scum creeper. Gnaw (Ex): A scum creeper automatically does 1 point of damage in any round when it begins its turn attached to a victim.Salt Vulnerability (Ex): A handful or more of salt deals 1d4+1 points of  damage to a scum creeper on contact and causes it to detach itself from its  victim.Wallcrawling (Ex): A scum creeper need not make Climb checks to traverse a  vertical or horizontal surface (even upside down). It retains its  Dexterity bonus to Armor Class while climbing and opponents get no  special bonus to their attacks against it.Skills: A scum creeper has a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks and a +8 racial bonus on Climb and Swim checks. A scum creeper can always choose to take 10 on Climb and Swim checks, even if rushed or threatened. A scum creeper uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier for Climb and Swim checks. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
