Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the otyugh must hit a Medium-size or smaller opponent with a tentacle attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.

Constrict (Ex): An otyugh deals automatic tentacle damage to a Medium-size or smaller opponent with a successful grapple check.

Disease (Ex): Filth fever - bite, Fortitude save (DC 12) incubation period 1d3 days; damage 1d3 temporary Dexterity and temporary Constitution (see Disease).

Skills: An otyugh receives a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks when in its lair, due to its natural coloration.

An otyugh attacks living creatures if it feels threatened or if it is hungry; otherwise it is content to remain hidden. Otyughs rake and squeeze opponents with their tentacles, which they also use to drag prey into their mouths.
