Description
Armored Stomach (Ex) A giant snapping turtle’s body is difficult to cut through—its stomach gains a +4 bonus to its AC and has double the normal hit points when determining the success of a creature attempting to cut its way free. Giant snapping turtles typically grow to diameters of about 35 feet and weigh 20,000 pounds.
