Bestiary: Greater Raiju


Aaaand here it is as promised.

Greater Raiju
This hulking, looming creature shows a mix of human and feline features, and a very long billowing golden mane. Around it the air sparkles with electricity. It looks at you with an all–fanged grin, as if it’s pleased to have found dinner.

Special Abilities

Prehensile Hair (Su): A greater raiju’s long mane can be used to climb, snatch things and immobilize adversaries. The creature can’t wield a weapon or attack with its mane, but can use it for any other purposes that require free hands. When both its claw attacks inflict damage to a foe, the greater raiju can can attempt to grapple that foe with its hair as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. A grappled creature suffers electricity damage as by a claw attack every round. When a greater raiju grapples a foe in this way, it does not gain the grappled condition. The hair cannot be sundered or attacked as a separate creature.

Shocking Burst (Su): Besides dealing normal slashing damage, the claws of a greater raiju are considered to have the shocking burst weapon special quality. They deal 1d6 extra points of electrical damage on a normal hit and an additional 1d10 points on a critical hit.

Greater raiju are born on the material plane, maybe as humans who transformed into yokai after spending too much time near powerful magic or other monsters. Some of them just relish in their elemental power, without meddling too much in human affairs; many continue pursuing the passions they had as mortal beings, even if they can’t remember why any more. A few become cruel and ruthless, indulging in eating humans and battling other yokai just for the thrill of it. Often, a greater raiju retains some of the magic powers and knowledge it possessed in its previous life.

...Actually, Tora possesses magic abilities from his former life as a human fighter/sorcerer and a special ability to change his breath weapon into fire.
