Grisantian Lion

Creature 12 (rare) — beast, primal

The appearance of the mighty grogrisant is a once-in-a-generation event, but the descendants of those legendary beasts are well known along the World's Edge Mountains and throughout Taldor. These primal predators don't travel in a pride as mundane lions do. Instead, they avoid others of their kind, even to mate, and seek out ordinary lions once a year for this purpose.

Abilities

Blinding Mane (incapacitation, light, primal, visual) — Frequency once per day Effect Drawing upon the power of their grogrisant ancestor, the grisantian lion focuses and causes their mane to glow with bright light. All creatures within 20 feet must attempt a DC 29 Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected. **Success** The target is Blinded until its next turn begins. **Failure** The target is blinded for 1 minute. **Critical Failure** The target is blinded permanently.
Dual Pounce — The grisantian lion Strides and makes two claw Strikes against the same creature at the end of that movement. Each attack counts against the grisantian lion's multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after the grisantian lion makes both attacks. If both attacks hit, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.
Rend — claw. If the grisantian lion Rends after a successful Dual Pounce, combine the Rend's damage with that from the Dual Pounce for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. Rend
Vicious Rend
