In case your campaign needs a bit more punch, I wrote this up.1

Stomatopods are cat-sized colorful crustaceans known for their punches and bad temper. They are aggressively individualistic and libertarian. Some Stomatopods choose a career as members of adventuring parties out of love for violence and riches.

Stomatopods live in the sea. Through sheer force of will, they can walk on land. Due to their size, they can only carry half as much as a regular human.
Punching Claws:
Stomatopods cannot wield or use weapons but they can punch with the force of 1500 newtons to knock out their enemies. Instead of regular attack rolls, Stomatopods roll 2d6 on the table below.
On a result of 2 the Stomatopod's appendage breaks and they need a week of physical rehabilitation training. On a result of 12 the punch creates a sonoluminescent shock wave that stuns everyone in the Stomatopod's vicinity for a turn.

(K.O.) the opponent is knocked out. (X) the opponent is obliterated.
Colorful Carapace
People make fun of the Stomatopod's look behind their back but their carapace is more than a bold fashion statement. Stomatopods have natural AC of 6.
Eye Stalks
Stomatopods have complex compound eyes that grant them trinocular vision and allow them to see millions of colors humans can't perceive. In addition to bragging about that fact, they can use them to read an opponents aura. There is a 1-in-6 chance a Stomatopod knows how strong an opponent is.
