[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2735519, member: 1241"] Yep, another Unforgivable Edit here, and like I said there was more than one. ;) I'll take demiurge's changes, and keep it at CN for no good reason, just to give it some marginal differences with an actual 3.5 t-rex. :) because, after all, who the hell cares. ;) seriously though, how much of my imagination should I invest in an unimaginative "creation" anyway? Just fix the stats and move on. :p there are much more interesting monsters in this book anyway. Just wait until "project #5" makes it to print so you can see the awful name that the designers stuck it with. :rolleyes: one in the same! :) on the bright side, with this one done there are only three more critters for this source, then a small break! ;) heh, I agree. :) we wouldn't need to see so many animals and other low-HD critters with high Dex and low Str that would need to take it as a bonus feat, if the requirement were lower. :) Ok, next monster! #18 Large Vermin Hit Dice: 5d8+10 (32 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 5O-ft, fly 60-ft.

The body mostly retains the scorpion's physiology with the addition of the giant wasp's wing structure, coloration and hive mentality. (The wasp coloration carries over to alternating stripes of yellow and brown along the segmented scorpion-like body.) Like scorpions, BUGs live in underground burrows.

BUGs are aggressively territorial and overly protective of their lairs, attacking anyone or anything seen as a potential threat to the larvae kept deep inside their subterranean burrows. Combat These creatures attack when hungry or threatened, stinging their prey to death. They take dead or incapacitated opponents back to their lairs as food for their unhatched young. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the BUG must hit with its claw attack. If it gets a hold, it hangs on and stings. Squeeze (Ex): A BUG that gets a hold on an opponent of its size or smaller automatically deals damage with both claws stinging at its full attack value.
