Start copying limbs the moment it sees potential hostile creatures (even in social settings); copying limbs that it thinks will be the most effective in the upcoming encounter. Each round, as a standard action, can sprout up to 15 limbs and place them as far as 150’ away.

Introduction[edit]

Unlike the shiva, the focus here is to get a diversity of natural attacks. Not meant to be used below level 6 (would only have leveled in two classes at 5th), anything below has been omitted. At 20th level, will have 6 claws, 5 tentacles, 4 heads, 2 wings, spines (that can be fired) and one tail; and an average damage per round of ~2,100!
