Mark Quarry (su) - A crawling hand is assigned a quarry by anointing the hand with a drop of the intended quarry's blood. If the hand has no current quarry, it automatically gains the next creature it damages as its quarry. Once attuned to a target, it becomes aware of the target's location as if under the effect of a continuous locate creature spell. The hand gains a +1 bonus on all attack rolls, damage rolls, and skill checks made to seek out and destroy the marked quarry. The mark quarry ability lasts until the quarry or the hand is slain.
Toughness (ex) - This creature is especially resiliant to harm, gaining extra hit points per level.
Pus Burst (su) - When damaged by a piercing or slashing melee weapon, a spray of vile pus strikes the attacker unless the attacker makes a Dex save. Weapons that provide reach protect the attacker completely from a pus burst. Creatures struck by pus lose their standard action for 1d3 rounds and take 2d6 points of necrotic damage.
Attacks
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x claw +10 (1d6+7 plus grab). Reach: 5 ft. Grab - Each time this attack is successful, the Giant Crawling Hand can make a grapple check as a free action to see if it holds his opponent. If successful, the opponent is grappled. Grabbing does not provoke an attack of opportunity

A giant rotting hand rocks unsteadily, propped upon thick, stubby fingers. Its pale, necrotic flesh pulses and crawls with sickly boils.
