Sleep Gaze (Su): Anyone within 30 feet of a jackalwere (in any of its forms) that meets the creature's gaze must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 13) or fall asleep for 5 minutes. Jackalweres are immune to their own gaze attacks and to those of others of their kind. Creatures engaged in combat receive a +4 bonus on their saving throws.

Alternate Form (Su): A jackalwere has two primary forms that it can shift between at will. One of these appears as a Small jackal, while the other is a Medium hybrid form. The statistics for these forms appear above.

In addition, a jackalwere can take the form of any Medium humanoid.

Skills: *In jackal form, a jackalwere is effectively disguised as an animal, gaining a +10 bonus on Disguise checks while in this form.

In jackal form, a jackalwere uses its bite. In hybrid form, it uses weapons and its bite. In humanoid form, it can attack only with weapons.
