Blindsight (Ex): Jagendars navigate by sound, with hearing keener than even a bat's.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an jagendar must hit with its bite. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold on the creature with its mouth. Each round it maintains the hold it deals automatic bite damage.

Favored by drow, jagendars use their snapping jaws to hold enemies still while their riders attack.
