Pincers (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).
Sharp Teeth (13): thrust 1d-3 cutting (KYOS: 1d-4 cutting), Reach C.
Ink (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.
