This aquatic creature is covered in an armored shell, has four giant claws, and a horrible visage: two small black eyes and a mass of tentacles hanging down from its mouth. It can be up to 8 feet long and weigh around 700 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This giant monstrosity stays near areas with water. It moves quickly when in the water, and slows on land. It is a hunter, living only to feed and sleep. It uses its claws to attack and grapple opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has no weaknesses, and it can take a lot of swings to take one down, but that is the surest way to defeat one, a strong arm and quick reflexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
