*They are faster than their speed of 10 would suggest.  Their "act" value of 80% means that even on land, they attack at roughly the same rate as a speed 12-13 monster, while their "swim" value of 60% means they are [[Spriggan]] speed in water. Add in their Swiftness spell which works on land, and you have a monster that is considerably faster than average.
