Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon (though it can attempt normal overrun or grapple attacks against larger opponents). A crush attack affects as many creatures as can fit under the dragon’s body. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 24) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, treat it as a normal grapple attack. Pinned opponents take damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape.  Crush attack deals 2d8+15 points of damage.Keen Senses (Ex): Sees four times as well a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. also has darkvision out to 120 ft.Locate Object (Sp): 5/day (as Sor5).Spells Known (6/7/5; base DC = 12 + spell level): 0--arcane mark, detect magic, ghost sound, mage hand, open/close, read magic; 1--alarm, cure light wounds, mage armor, true strike; 2--cure moderate wounds, invisibility</blockquote>
