I've had the idea of Giant Pistol and Mantis Shrimp rolling around in my head for a while. I think they might make great monsters for an aquatic pathfinder campaign, but I wouldnt know how to write up stats for them.
If anyone can offer ideas or assistance in any way, I'd appreciate it.
Mantis Shrimp can see 9 spectrums of 12 spectrums of light, and can punch with the speed of a 22 calibur bullet.
Pistol Shrimp can snap their claws so quickly that it generates a small amount of plasma, hotter than the inside of the sun.
(These are actually true)
These little critters are obscenely badass in real life, I'd like to see a properly badass equivilent.
See in darkness, and immunity to fire and sonic damage (since they are just as close to the collapsing bubble thing when they punch as the target is; scientists are seriously studying their cell structure and anatomy for the development of future armors)
Yep. Just read it yesterday. Any claw attack subjects the target to an effect that duplicates the Soundburst spell. Pretty cool.

truly the coolest shrimp ever, they deserve to be allowed to kill adventures just like all truly great creatures, long live death by cavitation bubble!
