Improved Grab (Ex): If a dark medusa hits an opponent that is at least one size category smaller than itself with a claw attack, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Alternatively, it has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use its claw to hold the opponent (-20 penalty on grapple check, but the dark medusa is not considered grappled). In either case, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals claw damage. See the Monster Manual for additional rules.Pounce (Ex): If a dark medusa leaps upon a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even though it has already moved.DARK MEDUSA CHARACTERSDark medusas with class levels usually have levels of barbarian, and barbarian is their preferred class. Some multiclass to cleric, druid, or ranger. Few ever become bards, paladins, wizards, or sorcerors.</blockquote>
