Afziaka Stalker
Creature 12 (uncommon) — animal, mindless
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
FlankerShadeLANDanimal
Big predatory animals like dire wolves or hyaenodons might survive as an afziaka stalker, magically able to stalk their quarry. Vrykolakas vampires use animals as tools to carry their spirits when they would otherwise be slain. The animal usually dies as the vampire is reborn, but some live on in painful starvation.

Abilities
Grave-Bound Guts (divine) — While within 100 feet of its vrykolakas's burial ground, an afziaka appears in the natural shape it had when it was a regular animal and can eat normally. When farther away, it doesn't gain sustenance from eating food and eventually starves to death.
Hunger Pangs (curse, divine) — A creature damaged by the afziaka's fangs must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save or become Enfeebled 2 for 1 hour. The creature can remove this condition earlier by consuming at least a handful of raw meat.
Rend — Claw
A Rend entry lists a Strike the monster has.
Requirements The monster hit the same enemy with two consecutive Strikes of the listed type in the same round.
Effect The monster automatically deals that Strike's damage again to the enemy.

Slip Between (concentrate, divine, teleportation) — The stalker teleports into an occupied space it can see within 50 feet and makes a melee Strike.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline body occupies the party's attention while this ambushing flanker teleports past it to strike an exposed rear target.
SnareLANDA controller that keeps a target from Striding away denies it the repositioning that would otherwise counter this flanker's follow-up bite.
CrasherLANDA heavy melee striker capitalizes on the Enfeebled condition this flanker's fangs inflict, turning weakened defenses into bigger hits.
