New Species Traits Crocodile Moreau
          Crocodile moreaus are a blend of human and gator. They tend to have hairless bodies with longer torsos and arms and shorter legs. Characteristic features include a wide, grinning jaw, and leathery flesh. Tails, if present, are always vestigial. Croc moreaus are common in the sub-tropical region of North America, throughout Central America, and in Egypt, India, and Southeast Asia. Most are shunned and end up performing in circuses or joining with gangs and pirates.
          Variable Size: Covert and moderate crocodile moreaus are Medium-size. Coverts and moderates have a 5-foot-by-5-foot fighting space and a 5-foot reach. Overts are Large-size, having a 10-foot-by-10-foot fighting space and a 10-foot reach.
          Bite (Ex): Moderate crocodile moreaus have large, pointed teeth, providing them with a natural bite attack. Each bite deals 1d4 points (overts deal 1d6 points) of piercing damage (plus the character’s Strength modifier) and threatens a critical hit on a natural 20.
          Dry Skin: Crocodile moreaus have dry skin which needs periodic moisturizing to remain healthy. The moreau must remain submerged in water for at least 10 minutes every 12 hours to maintain healthy skin, otherwise it suffers a cumulative -1 penalty to AC for every 12-hour lapse thereafter. Overts must be submerged every 6 hours or suffer the same result for every 6-hour lapse. However, crocodile moreaus enjoy one side-effect to unhealthy skin: their dermis becomes so abrasive as to cause their unarmed attacks to deal lethal damage.
          Low-light Vision: Crocodile moreaus' eyesight is equally as good in bright light as it is in dim light.
          Proficient Swimmers: Crocodile moreaus always treat Swim as a class skill.
          Limited Regeneration (Unique trait; Ex): Waylon can regenerate nonlethal damage at 1 hp/round, but cannot regenerate lethal damage (see the section on Special Abilities in the d20 Modern Core Rulebook).
          Note: Croc’s limited regeneration ability is unique to him and not common among other crocodile moreaus.
          Ability Scores:    (Covert) +2 Str, -2 Int
                                     (Moderate) +2 Str, -2 Int, +2 Con, -2 Cha
                                     (Overt) +4 Str, -4 Int, +2 Con, -2 Cha
