Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Scent (Imprecise) 30 feet

Scent involves sensing creatures or objects by smell, and is usually a vague sense. The range is listed in the ability, and it functions only if the creature or object being detected emits an aroma (for instance, incorporeal creatures usually do not exude an aroma).

If a creature emits a heavy aroma or is upwind, the GM can double or even triple the range of scent abilities used to detect that creature, and the GM can reduce the range if a creature is downwind.

Blood Fury (manipulate)

Trigger The charau-ka butcher deals bleed damage to a creature.

---

Effect The charau-ka licks blood from its weapon, becoming furious. It regains 5 HP and gains a +1 status bonus to attack rolls until the end of its turn.

Effect: Blood Fury

Mauler

While the charau-ka butcher is raging, its melee Strikes deal 1d4 Persistent Bleed Damage.

Rage

Requirements The Charau-ka Butcher isn't Fatigued or raging

The Charau-ka Butcher taps into its inner fury and begins raging. The Charau-ka Butcher gains a number of temporary Hit Points equal to it's level plus it's Constitution modifier. This frenzy lasts for 1 minute, until there are no enemies they can perceive, or until they fall unconscious, whichever comes first. They can't voluntarily stop raging. While they are raging:

• They deal 2 additional damage on melee Strikes. This additional damage is halved if their weapon or unarmed attack is agile.
• They take a -1 penalty to AC.
• They can't use actions with the concentrate trait unless they also have the rage trait. They can Seek while raging.

After they stop raging, they lose any remaining temporary Hit Points from Rage, and they can't Rage again for 1 minute.

Effect: Rage

Shrieking Frenzy (primal, transmutation)

Trigger The charau-ka's turn begins.

Frequency once per hour

---

Effect The charau-ka is Quickened until the end of its turn, and can use the extra action to Stride or Strike.

While in the frenzy, the charau-ka can't speak and automatically critically fails Stealth checks, due to its loud wailing.

Thrown Weapon Mastery (deadly d6, nonlethal)

Any weapon a charau-ka throws gains the deadly d6 weapon trait.

Furthermore, when a charau-ka throws an improvised weapon, it does not take the -2 penalty for doing so, nor does it take a penalty for using a thrown improvised weapon with the nonlethal trait to make a lethal attack.

---

While charau-ka are infamous for their brutality, some even frighten their own kind in their obsession with violence. These deadly butchers are well-versed in the art of inflicting vicious, bloody wounds on their enemies, and they consider anyone not charau-ka an enemy. A single taste of a foe's blood can grant one terrifying strength, as if the charau-ka butcher literally gains power from their victims' pain.

---

Legend tells that charau-ka share ancestry with the demon lord Angazhan, who transformed the dead bodies of humans who waged war against his cult, causing them to rise as the first of the mandrill-like humanoids. Though long unproven, rumors persist that charau-ka priests have perfected a hideous ritual that forces the slain to reincarnate as new charau-ka in honor of this ancient tale. Other stories say that powerful altars devoted to Angazhan contain this power, and that conducting ritual sacrifices before these magical artifacts causes the spirits of the dead to return to life as violent devotees of Angazhan, the master of those who revel in savagery and destruction.

The largest charau-ka stronghold in the Mwangi Expanse is the city of Usaro, located on the shores of Lake Ocota. Though the death of their Gorilla King has led to political turmoil, the charau-ka will happily unite to kidnap or murder any outsiders in the area.
