Creature weapons are special items that represent the claws, bite, sting, etc. of a creature. These items can only be used as natural weapons. The four types of creature weapons are called "bite", "claw", "gore", and "slam", indicating slashing damage, piercing-slashing damage, piercing damage, and bludgeoning damage, respectively. (These names are not shown to players, so, for example, the "gore" item is used with no problems for stings and other piercing attacks.) Free attacks that may be applied to creature weapons are treated differently than those used with other weapons.
