 SPECIAL ABILITIES

Giant Blade (Ex)

Every 1d4 rounds, a freezer crab can make one claw attack as a standard action for 1d6+14 damage that cannot begin a grab.

Icy Foam (Su)

3/day as a standard action, a freezer crab may spew forth icy foam at a single target within 35 feet as a ranged touch attack (+2), dealing 3d6+5 ice damage on a successful hit.

Water Dependency (Ex)

Crabs can survive out of the water for 1 hour per point of Constitution. Beyond this limit, a crab runs the risk of suffocation, as if it were drowning.

Whirlwater (Su)

1/day as a standard action, a freezer crab may blast forth a torrent of water out to 100 feet to create a whirlpool in a 10-foot-radius burst. Anyone caught in that burst takes 5d6 water damage, with a DC 12 Reflex save for half damage.
