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) 60 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.

Voice Imitation

Kokogiaks can mimic the sounds of a person in distress by attempting a Deception check to Lie. The kokogiak has a +4 circumstance bonus to this check.

Attack of Opportunity

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.

---

Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Mauling Rush

The kokogiak Strides up to its Speed. It can make up to four claw Strikes at any point during this movement, each against a different target. These attacks count toward the kokogiak's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after the kokogiak makes all of its attacks.

Sneak Attack

The kokogiak's Strikes deal an additional 2d6 precision damage to flat-footed creatures.

---

When the monster Strikes a creature that has the Flat-Footed condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, it also deals the listed precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, that weapon must also be an agile or finesse weapon.

Tormented Snarl (auditory, illusion, mental, primal)

Using their voice imitation abilities, a kokogiak emits the horrific wails of its former victims. Each creature within 120 feet takes 4d6 mental damage and must attempt a DC 32 will save.

A creature frightened by this ability is Flat-Footed to the kokogiak.

---

Critical Success The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Success The creature takes half damage and becomes Frightened 1.

Failure The creature takes full damage and becomes Frightened 2.

Critical Failure The creature takes double damage, becomes Frightened 3, and is Fleeing until the end of its next turn.

Trackless Step

The kokogiak always gains the benefits of Cover Tracks in natural surroundings, even while moving at full speed.

As deadly on land as in the water, kokogiaks are one of the most feared predators of the tundra. From a distance they might be mistaken for a frightfully large polar bear, but anyone unfortunate enough to see one up close will notice the creature's six additional legs and disturbingly elongated neck before meeting an untimely end. These ursine monstrosities stalk their prey tirelessly across ice and snow; they're also powerful swimmers, lurking under the ice to burst up and ambush unsuspecting creatures on the surface or diving for a marine meal.

As if numerous claws and a brutal bite weren't concerning enough, these nightmare-inducing creatures can be wickedly deceptive, luring their prey out in winter storms. The cunning kokogiak imitates the sounds of a creature in distress, deceiving its target into abandoning the safety of their shelter and embarking on an ill-fated rescue attempt. Those who live in arctic realms have learned to respond with caution upon hearing cries for help during a long winter night.
