Bul-gaes are manifestations of the eclipsed sun and moon. They resemble large canines, though their coloration and features change as they exercise their powers over heat and cold. Depending on whether they have most recently unleashed their lunar or solar powers, a bul-gae resembles either a crimson hound wreathed in flames or a cerulean, frostbitten fox, respectively. Legends say that the first bul-gae attempted to steal the sun from the sky. As they bit down on the burning sphere, though, th

Abilities
Greater Darkvision — A creature with greater darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. A creature with greater darkvision can see through even forms of magical darkness.
Shadow Leap (occult, shadow, teleportation) —
Eclipse Aura (aura, darkness, occult) — 100 feet. Light and shadows morph strangely around the bul-gae. A creature attempting to create a light effect within the aura must attempt a DC 5 Flat check. On a failure, the attempt fails, the effect is lost, and the DC to counteract darkness effects within the aura is increased by 1.
Solar Flare (fire, occult) —
Lunar Burst (cold, occult) — The bul-gae releases a blast of otherworldly frost that deals 6d8 cold damage to each creature in a 10-foot emanation (DC 34 Reflex save). On a critical failure, a creature also becomes Slowed 2. After using this ability, the bul-gae's flames heat up and they can't use Lunar Burst again until after they have used Solar Flare.
Thermal Mastery — The bul-gae has total control over the powers of cold and fire. Each time it attacks with its jaws, it can choose to have the additional damage be either cold damage or fire damage.
