Description
The Giant Snapping Turtle is a foul-tempered omnivorous creatures with a well-known powerful bite. They often lie in wait partially submerged in a swampy area, and due to their excellent camouflage they gain surprise on 1-4 on 1d6 in such a situation.
Any creature of man-sized or smaller slain by a giant snapping turtle will be eaten immediately; small characters can be swallowed in a single gulp, while man-sized creatures require an extra round to bite in half before swallowing.
