A vicious duck head glares at you from the top of a 20' long white-feathered snake body with tiny wings.

Combat

Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, a ducksnake must hit with its Cute Nibble 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.

Constrict (Ex)
On a successful grapple check, a ducksnake deals 1d8+9 points of damage.

Favored Enemy (Ex)
Ducksnakes are ferocious predators, especially against bugs and plants! They get a ranger's favored enemy bonus against vermin (+4) and plants (+2).

Cute Nibble (Ex)
The ducksnake's nibble lacks teeth, and looks really cute when it's doing it to someone else. But it leaves a bigger bruise than you'd think!

[The Shaman]

Wasn't that a bunnywolf in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

I hear it'll tear your arm off.

 

[LoneWolf23]

*cough cough* 322.

Personally, I think the bunnywolf looks cute.

I'd hate to see what Vaarsuvius would think of Avatar: The Last Airbender's menagerie of mixed animals, like the Ostrich-Horse, the Bat-Wolf or the Saber-Toothed Moose-Lion..

 

[drothgery]

Belkar may not survive the next strip. I foresee a disentigrate in his future.

Quasqueton

I was really hoping Miko would get to kill somebody, but V's going to beat her to it

 

[ShadowRaven]

go V, give him the same treatment as that chimera. Spiked tentacles of forced intrusion are definatley in order, followed by a baleful polymorph

 

[Orius]

V had that coming from the coffee stunt.

Go Belkar!

 

[Falkus]

He may as not even write a schedule for putting up comics...

You're right. It's inexcusable that it's late. You should demand your money back.

 

[Piratecat]

You're right. It's inexcusable that it's late. You should demand your money back.

I did, and got back twice what I paid!

 

[Dog Moon]

I did, and got back twice what I paid!

Does this work even if you've bought the OotS books?

 

[Balgus]

V had that coming from the coffee stunt.

Go Belkar!

I agree. I was wondering why he was holding back from kikin V's Arse. And then I read the three conditions and it dawned on me that Belkar couldnt do anything inside the city.

As soon as they left the city gates, V gets her come-uppins.

Belkar- Whoot Whoot!!
