When initially found this item will certainly appear as a large iron barrel.
It has a secret catch which opens a hatch in one end.
Inside are 10 levers:
1.
extend legs and toil/retract same
2.
uncover foreword porthole/cover same
3.
uncover side portholes/cover same
4.
extend pincers and feelers/retract same
5.
snap pincers
6.
forword/left or right
7.
backwards/left or right
8.
open "eyes" with continual light inside/close "eyes"
9.
raise (levitate)/sink
10.
open hatch/close hatch
The apparatus moves forward at a 3" SPEED,
backwards at 6". The 2
pincers extend forward 4' and snap for
2-12 hit points damage each if they
hit a creature - 25% chance, no reduction
for armor, but dexterity
reduction applies. The device can operate
in waters up to 900' deep. It can
hold 2 human-sized persons and enough air
to operate for 2-5 hours at
maximum capacity. The apparatus is AC 0
and will take 100 hit points
damage to cause a leak, 200 to stave in
a side. When the device is fully
operating the whole appears as something
like a giant lobster.
