Rage (Ex)	Grants Temoryn +4 Str, +4 Con, +2 Will and -2 AC, lasting 6 rounds, after which he is fatigued until the end of the encounter.
Fear Of Magic (Ex)	Must make a Will saving throw (DC either 10 + Item's CL or the spell/effect's normal save DC) when magic is used within 30 feet of him (Or on him) or he and his Packmate both become Shaken as long as they remain within 30 feet of the effect. The same applies to unnatural creatures (Aberrations, Undead, Fey, Outsiders, Elementals, and the like), in which case the DC is equal to 10 + the creature's CR. Unnatural Aura and similar effects affect him as well. Spells, effects and items with no visual effects do not require a save, and spells, effects and items that heal, or have little in the way of visual effects grant a +4 bonus on the save.
Low-Light Vision (Ex)	A wild elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
Instinctual Dodge (Ex)	Temoryn may add is Wisdom as a Dodge bonus to his armor class as long as he remains unarmored, unencumbered, and doesn't use a shield. He also adds 1 point of his Wisdom bonus per class level to his Reflex saving throws in this state.
Instinctual Grapple (Ex)	While unarmored, unencumbered, and not using a shield, Temoryn gains the benefits of the Imrpoved Grapple feat.
Instinctual Speed (Ex)	While unarmored, unencumbered, and not using a shield, Temoryn gains the benefits of the Run feat.
Instinctual Evasion (Ex)	While unarmored, unencumbered, and not using a shield, against effects that allow a Reflex save for half damage, Temoryn instead takes no damage if he succeeds his saving throw.
Feral Pounce (Ex)	While unarmored, unencumbered, not using a shield and wielding a club, quarterstaff, gauntlets, spiked gauntlets, or fighting unarmed, Temoryn may make a full attack at the end of a charge rather than a standard attack.
Instinctual Uncanny Dodge (Ex)	While unarmored, unencumbered, and not using a shield, Temoryn retains his full Dexterity bonus when he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
Courage (Ex)	Temoryn no longer has to make a saving through against magical spells, effects or items that heal, or that have little visual effects, and he gains a +4 bonus on his Fear Of Magic saving throw against all other spells, effects and items.

Other NPC Information:

This elf is lanky and limber, clocking in at 6', 3" and weighing about 170. He has caramel-brown skin, waist-length jet-black hair and eyes of a vibrant electric green. He appears weathered and worn to some degree, not unlike a seasoned veteran, but he retains a youthful appearance and grace associated with normal elves of his age. He wears as little as he can get away with; Typically bearskin boots and pants, his gauntlets and his amulet, which is fashioned from the claws of a dire bear. He travels with Umbra, a large pitch-black whom he calls his blood brother, and indeed, they share the same eyes.

(I am under the impression that spiked gauntlets increase your unarmed damage by one dice size, as if the character were a size larger; I have been unable to find a clear answer to this, so for now I am going off of the fact that Since a normal Medium unarmed attack is 1d3, and a normal Large unarmed damage is 1d4, and Spiked Gauntlets are 1d4, that it would be logical that this means his normal 1d10 unarmed damage would be increased to 2d8 while wearing the gauntlets, based on the table for Monk unarmed damage of all sizes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it makes sense, and since I haven't been able to find a clear ruling on it, I'm using my own judgement on the matter.)
