Glide (Hold Z while in the air)

Roll (Grapple Attack)
The creature will throw his opponent to the ground and then leap on their chest as he starts to roll his body, stabbing them with his spikes. This grapple attack is noteworthy due to the fact that Varan throwing his opponent to the ground, in itself, is actually able to remove a health cell. This means that if the opponent's health is low enough, they can be brought to the next health cell and then further injured while Varan uses his spikes to attack.
