Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day - charm person, confusion, invisibility, and suggestion. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 12th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).

Animal Form (Su): Once per day a leshii can transform itself into an animal as the polymorph self spell cast by a 12th-level sorcerer. A leshii's favorite animal forms are those of a wolf or bear.

Skills: Leshii receive a +4 racial bonus to Move Silently and Survival skill checks.

Leshii do not engage in melee combat very often, preferring to harass their victims with their magic abilities. They can be provoked to killing, though, and they might take the form of a forest predator to slay mortals. When they fight in their natural form, they gore with their horns and follow up with club attacks.
