Abilities

Quick Catch — The hooklimb always critically succeeds at checks to Grab an Edge.
Attack of Opportunity
Powerful Stench (aura, olfactory) — 30 feet. A creature that enters the area must attempt a DC 28 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is Sickened 2, and on a critical failure, the creature is also Slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened. While within the aura, the creature takes a -2 circumstance penalty to saves to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune to all xulgaths' stenches for 1 minute.
Raking Claws — The hooklimb flexes hooklike barbs on its claws. Until the start of the hooklimb's next turn, its claws Strikes deal an additional 1d10 persistent bleed damage.
RendStrike: 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.
