It has five 20-foot long, slender, whip-like arms joined to a central body disc that is up to 3 feet in diameter. Typical size ranges are disc diameter 32 to 48 inches, arm length 18 to 25 feet and weight 1,200 to 3,000 pounds. Bigger specimens are possible but rare; smaller giant brittle stars are common but rarely attack humanoids. The body is sharply demarcated from from the arms and contains the five-jawed mouth. The body and arms are covered  in a meshed chitin-like material with a pattern akin to chainmail, rendering the creature's hide tough and harder to damage. The tube feet are sticky and used to hold and manipulate prey or cling to wet and slippery surfaces, such as cliff faces and cave roofsUnlike their smaller cousins, giant brittle stars are active predators, combing marine  environments for prey. They are regarded as vermin by marine races that take part in husbandry or aquaculture. Their regenerative powers have seen them be used by alchemists in the making of potions of healing and regeneration.</blockquote>
