I wasn't really happy with the monstrous crab posted on the Wizards homepage, so I decided to make my own. Eventually, I plan on making a monstrous land crab so I'll probably post it in a few days. Enjoy and please respond!

The smaller varieties are not particularly dangerous, but the larger types have been known to tear off unfortunate fishermen’s limbs and stories have been told of even bigger crabs that have crushed ships between their powerful claws and terrorized coastal villages. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a monstrous sea crab must hit with a claw attack. Mighty Claws (Ex): Monstrous sea crabs deal double their strength damage when grappling with their claws. In addition, a monstrous sea crab deals double-damage to objects with its claw attacks. Squeeze (Ex): A monstrous sea crab deals automatic claw damage on a successful grapple check. Hold Breath (Ex): A monstrous sea crab can hold its breath out of water for a number of rounds equal to 8x its Constitution score before it risks “drowning”. Skills: Monstrous sea crabs have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Spot checks. When hiding underwater, the Hide bonus increases to +6. Monstrous sea crabs also receive a +8 racial bonus to Swim checks.
