"Ah don't like this river Bert."

"The waters too dark. I can't see whats swimmin' in it with us. It makes me feel all twitchy like..."

"Just relax Abner."

Dire Piranha are perhaps more vicious than their smaller brethren. Thankfully there aren't quite as many of them, or the rivers would be stripped of life...

Shearing Bite (Ex): The Bite of a Piranha does x4 damage on a successful critical hit.

Blindsense (Ex): While underwater the Dire Piranha can sense any creature within 30 ft.

Skills: Dire Piranhas have a +8 Racial Bonus on all Swim Checks, and can Always Take 10 on a Swim Check. They may use the Run Action while swimming in a straight line.

Combat: Dire Piranhas tend to bite and retreat, repeating until their victim is dead.



Giant Piranha
"Good evening, and welcome to Mutual of Gnomeahaw's Wild Kingdom! As always, I'm your host Harlan Jergens! Today on Wild Kingdom, we find ourselves amidst a cliche of horror tales."

Worse Than Regular Piranha
"Are you insane?"

"I think we all know the answer to that by now."

"You know these things always get loose right?"


Actually Quite Omnivorous

"Do you have the appropriate precautions? These are the shrews of the fish world."

"Gentleman, I can assure you we are fine. They can't get loose."

WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

"Sir, the piranha are loose."

"Gentlemen, perhaps we should retire to my private zoo. We have a new marsupial exhibit."

"I'm always a sucker for a good marsupial."
