Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a giant banded lizard must hit a creature of any size with its bite attack it can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and attempts to deal bite damage each round thereafter.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 21, initial and secondary damage 2d4 Str. The save DC is Constitution-based.

A giant banded lizard attacks any creature its own size or smaller without hesitation. As it holds a creature fast in its mouth, a giant banded lizard pumps the creature full of venom secreted from its lower jaw.
