p>Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a mosasaur must hit an opponent at least two sizes smaller (Medium for a Huge mosasaur) 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 can try to swallow the target in the following round.

Swallow Whole (Ex): A mosasaur can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to two sizes smaller by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent each round takes 1d6+9 points of bludgeoning damage plus 1d8 points of acid damage from the mosasaur's digestive juices. A swallowed creature can cut its way out using a light slashing or piercing weapon by dealing 20 points of damage to the mosasaur's digestive tract (AC 13). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.

A Huge mosasaur's gullet can hold 2 Medium, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, 128 Diminutive, or 512 Fine or smaller opponents.

Hold Breath (Ex): A mosasaur can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 6 x its Constitution score before it risks drowning. For a typical mosasaur, this is 132 rounds, or over 13 minutes.

Skills: A mosasaur has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform a special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

A mosasaur attacks with its huge, gaping jaws, and can deliver powerful slaps of its crocodilian tail as well.
