Shapeshifting (Su): Shifting between forms is a full-round action for the Beast of Malar; the shift becomes complete at the start of its subsequent action. Every time the beast shifts shape, it can heal up to its normal daily resting rate of damage, 8 points. Note that this allows the beast to heal even lethal damage that it cannot normally regenerate. Beasts of Malar frequently fail to take full advantage of this fact by fighting to the death instead of running off to recover and then attack again.

Regeneration (Ex): A Beast of Malar regenerates 6 points damage per round. Divine magic and blessed weapons inflict lethal damage on the Beast of Malar.

Skills: In all of its forms, the beast gains a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks. In panther form, the beast gains a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, and Move Silently checks and +12 on Balance checks. In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth, the Hide bonus increases to +12.

Feats: In bat form, its bonus feats are Flyby Attack, Improved Critical (bite), and Weapon Focus (bite).

The beast's bat form is a relatively poor fighter, but that does not prevent the beast from attempting to take down flying prey.
