Poison (Ex): A broodling delivers its poison (Fort DC 12) with each successful sting or bite attack. The initial and secondary damage is the same (1d6 points of Constitution damage).

Kython Traits: All kythons are eyeless but have blindsight to a range of 60 feet. They are all immune to acid and cold and possess fire resistance 20 and electricity resistance 20.

Kythons enjoy tearing their prey to shreds, though they are intelligent enough to make good use of weapons. Most kythons have a chance to possess a special weapon.

Both the bite and the tail sting of the broodling are poisonous.
