Gigantic
crustaceans, mock lobsters can walk half upright on their six back
legs. Their first pair of walking legs has become modified to grasp
quite well. They have a very hard brown or green (very rarely blue)
exoskeleton and strong pincers. For purposes of grappling they
should be considered strength 18/50.
Mock
lobsters will eat dead and rotting food, though they will hunt if
hungry and have also been known to stock pools with prey animals as a
form of farming. They vastly prefer salt to fresh water but can
dwell in either. They are capable of hiding and blending into their
surroundings or behind rocks (surprise on a 1-3 on a 6-sided die).
Mock
lobsters value treasure and may keep pearls (treat as treasure type Q
X 6, pearls only). They have been known to wears specialized jewelry
fit for their unusual anatomy, especially on their claws. They will
trade with men for goods they cannot obtain from their environment.
For
their part, they are usually well disposed towards other sentient
life forms. They can speak the common language, although it sounds
like they are screaming in a high pitched voice when they do so.
This will spook normal horses, mules, cattle, and other livestock as
if they were attacked with a wand of fear.
Boiled
and buttered mock lobsters are delicious.
