Melee attacks

Usage	Level	Damage	Reach
PincersPincers (13): thrust 1d-3 cutting (KYOS: 1d-4 cutting), Reach C. The tojanida can either nip and let go or hold on and grapple the victim in addition to injuring him. Either is an attack that takes full hit location penalties – not halved for grappling. Treat this attack as a bite for these purposes (see Teeth on page 115 of GURPS Martial Arts for details). The pincers give +2 with tasks that require a firm grip (including climbing).	13	thrust 1d-3 cutting (KYOS: 1d-4 cutting)	C
Sharp TeethSharp Teeth (13): thrust 1d-3 cutting (KYOS: 1d-4 cutting), Reach C.	13	thrust 1d-3 cutting (KYOS: 1d-4 cutting)	C
InkInk (13): A tojanida may fill a two-yard-radius area with black ink. No one can see into the affected area, and no one within the affected area can see anything; see p. B394 for combat rules. In addition, this ink cloud imposes a -4 penalty on Smell rolls. Once created, the cloud persists for 10 seconds, drifting with the current. This cloud can only be used in water or in zero-G. When used on land, this attack takes a form of an ink jet, which can strike any target up to 20 yards away (without range or speed penalties). It can be dodged or blocked, but not parried. If the jet strikes the face, it causes no injury, but blinds the target for 3 seconds unless he makes a successful HT roll. Thick goggles, closed helmets, ultra-tech visors protect against this spell. A tojanida can use this ability only 4 times per day.	13	A tojanida may fill a two-yard-radius area with black ink.

CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
Issue #5: 2 special ability construction(s) restored (Land Squirt). No disabling construction on this record carries a cost the affliction term can score.
CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 5, PR 5, CER 10, threat tier minor.
Conversion baseline reported OR 6, PR 5, CER 11 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
Encounter metadata derived (default): average number appearing 2, wandering weight 4. Appearing count capped at 2 because this creature carries a save-or-disable attack that the CER path does not price; the rating understates how dangerous a group of them is. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
