[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8814055, member: 6915329"] That makes about as much sense as saying that a crab can't pinch someone because it can "only" move sideways. And you didn't actually read the monster's entry. I looked it up. First, it has [I]two [/I]heads, one on either side of its body, and All Around Vision. Secondly they don't have a bite attack. Instead, they have a claw attack, and have a special "Tumbling Attack" where they basically run over everyone in their path and do claw damage to them. It [I]also [/I]has Fast Healing, Spell Resistance, Darkvision and low-light vision. And while the entry doesn't say so, I would assume it's not stiff and could actually bend its body fairly well. It doesn't do a [I]ton [/I]of damage, but it's only CR 3. It's honestly not any "sillier" than a lot of other D&D monsters are. At least it isn't a one-off like a piercer! Hate to break it to you, but from an [I]artistic [/I]perspective, that's a perfectly acceptable form of symmetry. It's not even occult balanced. It's got eyestalks up top and a big eye in the middle of a round body. I'll accept that you find it creepy, since creepiness is in the eye of the person looking at the beholder, but if you're looking for asymmetry, look at a flounder, or a fiddler crab. [/QUOTE]
