Mudcrawlers are not terribly powerful, however, their tendancy to
stick together in combination with their six attacks per round
(bite/claw*5) make them difficult prey for most sea-dwelling
predators. They tend to turn head-first toward their opponent's
and swarm single individuals whenever possible. Because they can
strike from three dimensions in water, they perfer to do combat
there whenever possible, tipping over rowboats and the like being
one of their favorite tactics. When in the water, 50% more of them
can attack per round than would otherwise have room to do so (see
DMG:p69)
