Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the manscorpion must hit with both claw attacks. If it gets a hold, it hangs on and stings.

Squeeze (Ex): A manscorpion that gets a hold on an opponent of its size or smaller automatically deals damage with both claws and stinging at its full attack value.

Poison (Ex): Tail sting, Fortitude save (DC 17), initial and secondary damage 1d6 temporary Strength.

Frenzy (Ex): A manscorpion that is reduced to 5 hit points of less will forego all attacks except for its sting attack. It will sting twice per round.

*Due to their coloration, manscorpions receive a +4 racial bonus to Hide checks when in desert or sand covered surroundings.

The manscorpion attacks with its claws and tail. Alternately, a manscorpion will attack with a large obsidian-studded club (treat as battleaxe, but damage is bludgeoning). When a patrol is encountered, its members will be armed with a javelin as well as a club. They will loose their javelins first before closing for melee.
