Crunch! Crunch!! Crunch!!! Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an anomalocaris must hit with a  tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action  without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple  check, it establishes a hold and can attempt to swallow the foe the  following round.  Swallow Whole (Ex): An anomalocaris can try to swallow a grabbed opponent two  size categories smaller than itself by making a successful grapple  check. Once inside, the opponent is masticated by the multiple rows of teeth lining the anomalocaris's gizzard, taking 3d8+18 points of bludgeoning/slashing/piercing damage plus 8 points of acid damage per round. A  swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or  piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 15). Once  the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed  opponent must cut its own way out. A Huge anomalocaris's interior can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, 128 Tiny, or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents.  Skills: An anomalocarishas a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform  some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10  on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run  action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
