Crawling Claws

[LordKruelos]

You could make the argument it's a construct, but I went with Undead so they can be created via Animate Dead X spells

Crawling Claw (Diminuative Undead Walker — 28 XP): Str 1, Dex 10, Con 10, Int 1, Wis 5, Cha 5; SZ D (1×1, Reach 1); Spd 10 ft. ground; Init I; Atk IV; Def I; Resilience I; Health I; Comp I; Skills: Athletics I; Qualities: charge attack, grappler, hive mind, mook, superior jumper I, swarm.
Attacks/Weapons: Claw I (bleed; finesse), Swarm of Claws (sprawling I)

Swarm of Claws* The nearby claws fling themselves onto the target, seeking to knock them to the ground.
Fort save DC 10 + Swarm modifier or target becomes Sprawled.

Charge Attack (+2 XP): Up to 3 times per combat, the NPC
may take a free Standard Move before attacking.

Hive Mind (+2 XP): The NPC shares thoughts and reactions
with others of his species within 1 mile. He cannot become
blinded, deafened, flanked or flat-footed unless all others of his
kind who can see and hear him already suffer the condition.

Swarm (+2 XP): The NPC can make simultaneous attacks
with others of his species. A single attack check is made with
a bonus equal to the number of NPCs involved. With a hit,
the target suffers the attack’s base damage only once, but it’s
multiplied by 1/2 this bonus (rounded down).

I like it, its a classic that is missing from the book. You should post it up to the Fantasy Craft Data-Base.

The only thing i might change is the "STR 1". Its low damage, carrying capacity, and even penalties to physical skill tests are already built into the system buy just following the rules for its size catagory. "str 10" or even higher if you think it should be more dangerous is perfectly acceptable in my mind.

Ah, actually I'd meant to add some text about applying the Swarm  attack modifier to Strength-related skill checks. That seemed like the easiest way to do it.
