combat_abilities
[{"name":"Fighting attacks","description":"Due to their extreme fluidity they are able to attack in a wide variety of ways, forming whips, tentacles, and other appendages with which to bludgeon and strike their opponents."},{"name":"Bite","description":"The victim is instantly swallowed. Each round thereafter the victim takes 1 point of damage from constriction the damage done per round progressively increasing by 1 point (e.g., on the second round 2 points of damage are taken, and so forth). While swallowed, the victim may take no action whatsoever, though friends may attempt to slay the monster to free him or her. A formless spawn can make one Bite attack per round and can continue to swallow prey until having swallowed its own SIZ in prey. While digesting a victim, a spawn may continue to fight but may not shift location without disgorging what it has swallowed."},{"name":"Grab (mnvr)","description":"Grabs an opponent using one of its whip like appendages; range is always one-fifth of the monster’s SIZ in yards."}]
