Some believe that draconic chuuls are descended from chuuls that mated with evil chromatic dragons, while others say such a thing is impossible, instead believing that draconic chuuls are the result of experimentation by the chuuls, themselves.Regardless of their true heritage, draconic chuuls are slightly larger and stronger than the standard chuuls, being around 9 feet long and weighing around 730 pounds. They are strictly solitary creatures and do not associate with other non-draconic chuuls. Draconic chuuls never live underground, always being found in marsh or swamp-like terrain.Draconic chuuls speak Common and sometimes speak Draconic as well.CombatA draconic chuul prefers to wait by the shore, submerged in murky water, until it hears nearby prey (in or out of the water) that it can attack with surprise.A draconic chuul fights like a standard chuul trusting its strength, paralytic tentacles, and ability to resist against magical sleep and paralysis to see it through almost any combat situation.Constrict (Ex): On a successful grapple check, a draconic chuul deals 3d6+6 points of damage.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a draconic chuul must hit with a claw 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 constrict or on its next turn transfer a grabbed opponent to its tentacles.Paralytic Tentacles (Ex): A draconic chuul can transfer grabbed victims from a claw to its tentacles as a move action. The tentacles grapple with the same strength as the claw but deal no damage. However, they exude a paralytic secretion. Anyone held in the tentacles must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save each round on the draconic chuul's turn or be paralyzed for 6 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. While held in the tentacles, paralyzed or not, a victim automatically takes 1d8+3 points of damage each round from the creature's mandibles.Amphibious (Ex): Although draconic chuuls are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.Save Bonuses (Ex): A draconic chuul has a +4 bonus on saves against magic sleep and paralysis effects.Skills: A draconic chuul has 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. Draconic chuuls have a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate and Spot checks.Base Creature: ChuulTemplate(s): Draconic Creature (D&D Draconomicon: The Book of Dragons)</blockquote>
