Fear Aura (Su): A group of three or more hobyahs can, as a free action, create an aura of fear. Anyone within 30 feet of any hobyah contributing to the fear aura must make a Will saving throw (DC 11 +1 per hobyah in the group) or become panicked for 3 rounds. All hobyahs in the group must be within 30 feet of each other to create this aura. Any given hobyah can contribute to only a single fear aura each day.
Improved Grab (Ex): If a hobyah hits with a claw attack, it can attempt to start a grapple as a free action. Alternatively, it can simply choose to hold on to its opponent, in which case it gains a +2 bonus on its bite attack.
Poison Bite (Ex): Anyone bitten must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 12) or suffer 1d4 points of temporary damage to a randomly selected ability. A second save 1 minute later is required to prevent another 1d4 points of damage to the same ability.
Damage Reduction (Ex): A hobyah's damage reduction applies except when it is hit by a weapon whose striking surface is made of wood, such as a club or a quarterstaff.
Vulnerability (Ex): Hobyahs suffer double damage from wooden weapons.
