Description

Special Abilities

Familiar The master of a +1 natural armor bonus to AC.   Curl (Ex) As a standard action, a giant isopod can curl into a ball, increasing its natural armor bonus by +2 but preventing it from taking any move actions. Uncurling is also a standard action.  
Giant isopods are carnivorous scavengers that scour the ocean’s floor. They vaguely resemble the common wood louse in appearance, though they can grow to be up to 2-1/2 feet long and weigh nearly 4 pounds. Their unusual size and insectile appearance cause many humanoids to be wary of them, despite their relative harmlessness.
