“We thought the thing was a joke. No matter
what we did, it just kept coming after us. It smelled our blood, and thirsted
for it. It would grapple us, and pull us towards its gaping mouth. We never
stood a chance.”

Former Adventurer, now a Farmer
The
bearsharktopus is a crazy hybrid of a bear, shark, and octopus. It was somehow
created through magical means by a mad wizard named Galathrax. Galathrax shared
his knowledge with two other wizards. They have now started a competition where
they are trying to create the weirdest of hybrids. The competition so far has
been very fierce.
Combat: The bearsharktopus will generally use
its tentacles to grapple first, then drag the opponent to its mouth where it
will use its shark mouth to bite relentlessly.
Blind
Sense (Ex): A
bearsharktopus can locate creatures underwater within a 30-foot radius. This
ability works only when the bearsharktopus is underwater.
Improved
Grab (Ex): To use this
ability, a bearsharktopus must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to
start a grapple
as a free action
without provoking an attack of
opportunity.
Keen
Scent (Ex): A bearsharktopus
can notice creatures by scent
in a 180-foot radius and detect blood in the water at ranges of up to a mile.
Low-Light
Vision (Ex): A
bearsharktopus can use this ability at any time, allowing it to see in extreme
low-light situations.
Skills: A bearsharktopus gains +4 to swim, +4 to
escape artist due to its tentacles.
