Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a kigrid must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and makes two rake attacks against its foe.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 16, initial and secondary damage 1d4 Dex. A kigrid delivers its poison only with its rake special attack (it has poison spurs near its rear claws). The save DC is Constitution-based.

Psionics (Sp): 3/day - blink, daze monster (DC 12), detect thoughts (DC 12). Caster level 5th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +10, damage 1d6+2 plus poison (see above). A kigrid makes two rake attacks when it attacks a grappled opponent.

Skills: Kigrids have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Jump and Survival checks.

A kigrid pulls down prey with its powerful bite. It uses its poisonous rake to finish off grappled opponents. A kigrid cannot begin a grapple and perform a rake attack in the same round.
