===Combat===

'''Frightful Howl ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' As a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]], a brachyurus can emit a howl in a 60-foot-radius spread that affects opponents with fewer [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] or levels than the brachyurus has. The affected creature must make a successful [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 33) or become [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]]. Success indicates that the target is immune to that brachyurus’s frightful howl for one day. The [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Savage ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' If a brachyurus successfully trips an opponent, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 15d6+25 points of damage. If an opponent goes [[SRD:Prone|prone]] for any reason in an area a brachyurus threatens, the brachyurus can also savage the victim as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] (treat as the brachyurus’s [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]] for the [[SRD:Round|round]]), even though it had nothing to do with tripping the foe.
