Individually, ixitxachitls are quite weak. They seldom attack unless they have overwhelming numbers or the opportunity to spring an ambush. They have been known to conceal themselves in the sand and muck of the sea bottom, waiting for enemies to pass by so they can rush in among them.

Aquatic Subtype

Creatures with the aquatic subtype always have swim speeds and thus can move in water without making Swim checks. An aquatic creature can breathe underwater. It cannot also breathe air unless it has the amphibious special quality.
