Characteristics

Claw hammers have the appearance of hammerhead sharks with purple skin and front-facing eyes, sickle-like limbs jutting out from their sides. They crawl about on countless legs like those of a centipede. The sharks are able to sweep opponents' legs from their low position and then move in for the kill.
