Snapper

The Snapper is an enemy encountered in . A snapper is one of several classes of Manglers encountered; it is the smallest and weakest variant of this type of monster. It appears in farmland regions during the very earliest stages of Ehb and the Peninsula campaigns.
== Description ==
The snapper is a highly-aggressive, amphibious creature native to temperate zones. While significantly smaller than its sea and swamp cousins, this mangler subspecies may be a dangerous farmland pest on account of its habitat, which includes inland bodies of water used as irrigation reserves.
All manglers have the general appearance of a deep-sea fish, with a scaly body and a huge maw and gullet, fins to allow motion underwater, and a single eye. Unfortunately, thinking them limited to water movement is a dangerous error, for the creatures are also equipped with clawed forearms that allow them to quickly crawl overland in pursuit of their target.
Snappers are encountered in groups. While they seem to enjoy basking on open ground, they will also lie concealed underwater or within brush, watching for prey.
== Combat ==
Snappers can close in quickly when they detect the character, and are capable of dealing more damage in melee than the Krug that are usually seen in areas where they appear. Nevertheless, they cannot move as fast as humans. Due to their banding nature, more Snappers might appear than originally bargained-for, and it may be wise for low-level characters to retreat from the water to get a count of them, and then proceed with care.
