[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 5347652, member: 758"] The only one above that would make sense based on the adaptation from the movie to D20 would be: Ominous Aura. The converting to an aberration or Magical beast would bump up it's BAB and allow more feats with INT. The problem one has in taking this critter from a science fiction type universe to one of fantasy is tossing in the random element of Magic and dealing with the intricacies that this causes. Obviously Sharktopus is far from perfect and if a few reasonable tweaks can be done then it'll be one step better to being a viable critter. One of the creation criteria was that Sharktopus could go into an area unseen and destroy enemy craft and personel and quickly escape. In that vein then some of it's abilities are going to require stealth instead of brute force. Sure it can rip a vessel in two, that's what it does. If this thing has the drop on PCs then it's fair game, if the PCs are hunting it then yes there will be a good disadvantage. Tarrasque on water? Not so much. One step up from a Kraken? Yes definitely. [/QUOTE]
