D20 Stats:

Grizzly Snake Grizzly snakes look like giant snakes covered in green red fur and with a bear's head. CR 11 Hit Die: 12d10+72 Size: Huge Animal (Mutated) Init: +1 Speed: Climb 20 or Swim 40 Senses Scent: (Ex); Low-light Vision (Ex); Listen +5, Spot +5 AC 16 (FF 15, Touch 9) Hit Points: 138 (Disabled -6/Dying -23/Injury 23) Saves: Fort +14, Ref +9, Will +5 Resistance: Radiation (Ex): 2 Attack: +18/+13 base melee, +8/+3 base ranged; Grapple +28; Face 15'x15'; Reach 15';+18 Melee (Tail Slap 1d6+11/crit 20/x2) and +13 Melee (Bite 2d6+5/crit 20/x2) SA: Constrict (Ex) , Improved Grab (Ex) , Swallow Whole (Ex) Abilities: STR 32, DEX 13, CON 23, INT 1, WIS 12, CHA 2 Skills: Balance + 9, Climb + 19, Hide + 9, Listen + 5, Spot + 5, Swim + 19. Constrict (Ex): A grizzly snake deals 1d6+16 points of bludgeoning damage with a successful grapple check against a target at least one size category smaller than itself. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the grizzly snake must hit an opponent at least one size category smaller than itself with either a bite or a tail slap attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically deals bite or tail slap damage each round that the hold is maintained, and it can constrict in the same round and attempt to swallow in the next round. If the grizzly snake wishes, it can continue to attack with its tail or its bite (not both) while it grapples with its body, but it takes a –20 penalty on all grapple checks if it does so. Scent (Ex): This ability allows a grizzly snake to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Skill Bonuses: A grizzly snake gains a +8 species bonus on Balance, Climb, and Swim checks and a +4 species bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks. Swallow Whole (Ex): If a grizzly snake begins its turn with an opponent one or more size categories smaller than itself held in its mouth, it can attempt a new grapple check as though trying to pin the opponent. If it succeeds, it swallows its opponent, automatically dealing bite damage. Once inside the grizzly snake, the opponent takes bludgeoning damage equal to the grizzly snake’s tail slap attack plus 1d6 points of acid damage per round from the monster’s stomach. A successful grapple check allows the swallowed creature to climb out of the stomach and return to the grizzly snake’s maw, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free. Alternatively, the swallowed creature can attack from inside the stomach using claws or a Small or Tiny slashing weapon. Dealing at least 30 points of damage to the stomach (Defense 18) in this way creates an opening large enough to permit escape. Once a single swallowed creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; thus, another swallowed creature must cut its own way out. A Huge grizzly snake’s stomach can hold 1 Large, 2 Medium-size, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, or 128 Diminutive or smaller opponents.

Grizzly Snake No. Enc.: 1d4 (1d6) Alignment: Chaotic Movement: 90' (30') Armor Class: 6 Hit Dice: 7 Attacks: 2 (bite, constrict) Damage: 1d6, 2d10 Save: L3 Morale: 9 Hoard Class: VI The Grizzly Snake is a 20-foot-long snake-like creature that lives in desert and arid areas. The Grizzly Snake isn't a true reptile, however. It is a mutated legless bear that has evolved a lengthened snake-like body covered in a matted brown fur with a large bear's head at one end. The Grizzly Snake is as aggressive as any angered bear. They do not live in caves though, preferring to use its hyper-burrowing mutation to hollow out a large underground pit in which it lives. A Grizzly Snake has evolved a very acute vibration sense that gives it the ability to feel vibrations in the earth from up to 200 yards away. The Grizzly Snake can use this sense like a radar, "feeling" the approximate position of a nearby victim through vibrations from them walking or riding above. The Grizzly Snake will then burrow to a position under the victim, exploding out from under them and surprising them, gaining initiative in the attack. A Grizzly Snake attacks by wrapping around and strangling a victim. If successful, it will crush a victim for 2d10 hit points of damage. The constriction continues on subsequent rounds. They can also bite for 1d6 hit points of damage, although the bite is not poisonous. Mutations: hyper-burrowing, vibration sense (Source: World of Thundarr the Barbarian, by Tim "Sniderman" Snider)
