Combat Reflexes (ex) - The Marsh Giant gets a number of reactions equal to its dexterity bonus.
Power Attack (ex) - A Marsh Giant may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Marsh Giant does one extra point of damage. The Marsh Giant must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.

- Ranged - 1 x rock +12 (2d6+9). Range: 150/300/600
- Melee (Natural) - 2 x slams +16 (1d6+8). Reach: 10 ft.
Vital Strike (ex) - As a standard action, the Marsh Giant can make one attack at full bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the damage from the attack twice before adding other damage bonuses. This extra weapon damage is not multiplied on a critical hit but is still added to the total.
Rock Catching (Reaction)(ex) - Once per round, when an Marsh Giant would normally be hit by a thrown rock, it can use its reaction to attempt to catch the rock instead. To do so, it must make a Dex save DC 15 for Small rocks, DC 20 for medium rocks, and DC 25 for large ones.
