Improved Grab (Ex): Claw slayer only: To use this ability, the Beast of Malar must hit with its bite attack.

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 claw slayer form, its bonus feats are Improved Critical (claws), Multiattack, and Power Attack.

The claw slayer form's preferred method of attack is to grab hold of a foe with its teeth, at which point it can use all four of its claws to make grappling attack against that held foe.
