A cave cambo is a 10ft long aquatic albino cave snake. The cave cambo is blind and senses its prey through echolocation and special heat sensors located on its tongue. Not a particularly brave snake, it will prey on smaller creatures unless an opportunity presents itself to ambush a larger victim.
Combat
Cave cambos like to attack from watery environs, particularly if they can draw their prey into the water as well. They can breathe a blast of putrid, poisonous air at a foe, or strike with its bite.
Poisonous Breath (Ex): As a standard action a cave cambo may breathe on one target within 10ft of it with its poisonous breath. The victim must make a Fort save vs DC 15 or be paralysed for 1d4 rounds.
Scent (Ex): This special quality allows a cave cambo to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Skills: Cave cambos receive a +4 racial bonus to Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +10 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
