My version is a bit tougher, with more Hit Dice.BOZ: Initiative: +1 (Dex)Speed: 15 ft, swim 40 ftAC: 14 (-1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural)Otu: Initiative: +0Speed: 20 ft., swim 40 ft.AC: 14 (-1 size, +5 natural), touch 9, flat-footed 14Again, quite similar. The speed differences are due to different rounding.BOZ: Attacks: Bite +7 meleeDamage: Bite 3d4+4Face/Reach: 5 ft by 10 ft/5 ftOtu: Attacks: Bite +8 meleeDamage: Bite 3d4+6Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 10 ft./5 ft.Again, not much of a surprise. My version deals somewhat more damage.BOZ: Special Attacks: EntangleSpecial Qualities: SR 17, keen scent, tremorsenseSaves: Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +2Abilities: Str 17, Dex 13, Con 13, Int 1, Wis 12, Cha 2Otu: Special Attacks: Spell-like abilitySpecial Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft./250 ft.*, scent, SR 14Saves: Fort +7, Ref +4, Will +2Abilities: Str 18, Dex 11, Con 16, Int 1, Wis 12, Cha 9Getting interesting here. I was more generous with ability scores, while you gave more effective Special Qualities.BOZ: Skills: Hide +6, Spot +6Feats: AlertnessOtu: Skills: Hide -4*, Listen +5, Spot +6*Feats: AlertnessA bit surprised about the Hide skill modifier... did you assume that it would be only found in water?BOZ: Climate/Terrain: Any marshOrganization: Solitary or school (1-4)Challenge Rating: 4Treasure: StandardAlignment: Always neutralAdvancement: 6-10 HD (Large); 11-15 HD (Huge)Otu: Climate/Terrain: Temperate and warm marshsOrganization: Solitary or school (1-4)Challenge Rating: 3Treasure: NoneAlignment: Always neutralAdvancement: 6 - 10 HD (Large); 11 - 15 HD (Huge)Interestingly, my version is more dangerous, but has a lower CR. Other than that and the treasure, nit much of a surprise.Since there is not much point to compare the different special abilities...BOZ: Skills: The bichir receives a +4 racial bonus to Hide checks in any marsh.  Their sensitive eyes also provide them with a +4 racial bonus to Spot checks when in water.Otu: Skills: *A bichir receives a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks in its natural surroundings. It receives a +8 racial bonus to Spot checks underwater.Again, I was more generous with the skill bonuses.</blockquote>
