Horrific Critical (Su) A dire wolpertinger's gore attack threatens a critical hit on an 18–20. If a dire wolpertinger kills a humanoid foe with a critical hit, it can tear open the victim's throat with its sharp teeth as a free action. Any creature that witnesses this savage event must make a DC 11 Fortitude save or be shaken for 1 round. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based, and includes a +4 racial bonus.
Shadow Mark (Su) As a free action, a wolpertinger can make a ranged touch attack by jumping over a humanoid target—the maximum range of this attack is 30 feet. If the wolpertinger hits, its shadow transforms to match the shadow of the creature struck. Once a wolpertinger has established this link, it gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls made against that target.
