Zeikune

Species Traits

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the zeikune must hit an opponent with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically deals bite damage and liquefaction damage (see below) each round that the hold is maintained.

Liquefaction (Ex): Once the zeikune gets a hold of its opponent (see Improved Grab above), it begins injecting fluids that dissolve the victim’s organs, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage per round. If the creature dies or its Constitution score drops to 0 as a result of this process, the creature’s organs turn to slush, and the ability damage becomes ability drain. The victim dies, at which point the zeikune can begin sucking the liquefied organs from the creature’s body (see Siphon Fluids, below).

Psionics (Sp): At will—combat precognition (always active), mental blast, object reading; 3/day—inflict pain, levitate. Manifester level 5th; save DC 10 + zeikune’s key ability modifier + power level.

Siphon Fluids (Ex): Once a zeikune liquefies the internal organs of a creature, it can spend a fullround action siphoning the fluids from the dead creature’s body, leaving behind a shriveled husk. The fluid not only provides sustenance but also heals the zeikune of 3d6 points of damage and 1d6 points of ability damage (per ability).
