Combat
A dire walrus typically uses it large mass to slam into a foe while charging before biting.
Hold Breath (EX): A dire walrus may hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 6x its Constitution score before it risks drowning.
Powerful Charge (EX): When a dire walrus charges, it deals 4d8+27 points of bludgeoning damage. This is not with its bite, but using its whole body. Its bite deals normal damage on a charge.
Skills: A dire walrus has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always take 10 on Swim checks, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
