SPECIAL ABILITIES

Poison Skin (Ex)

Skin—contact; save Fort DC 14; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d2 Wisdom damage; cure 1 save.

* Editor's Note

The skill ranks do not add up. 
Either all animal's 3 skill points have to be invested in Perception +8 (3ranks-1wis+3class+3feat=8), so can't have any invested in Stealth +1 (4bonus+1dex-4size). 
OR it has Perception +7 (2ranks-1wis+3class+3feat=7) and Stealth +5 (1rank+3class+4bonus+1dex-4size).
GMs should decide which route they would like to go.
