Sonic Screech (Su): A mobat can blast an ear-splitting screech that affects all within a 20-foot spread. The screech stuns any creature in the area for 1d3 rounds if it fails a DC 15 Will save. This is a sonic-mind affecting effect. Whether or not the save succeeds an affected creature is immune to the same mobat's screech for one day. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Blindsense (Ex): Mobats use echolocation to pinpoint creatures within 120 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the mobat unless it can actually see them.

Skills: Mobats have a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks. *These bonuses are lost if blindsense is negated.

A mobat attacks by biting its opponent using its razor sharp fangs.

Surviving prey is subjected to the mobat's sonic screech attack.
