Rage (Ex): A quaggoth that take damage in combat has a 50% chance of flying into a berserk rage the following round, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +4 Strength and -4 AC. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily. Magic-followers only have a 1 in 6 chance of flying into a rage, but if they do they drop their weapons and fight with their claws.

Skills: Magic-followers gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Hide checks in shadowy areas because their dark fur.

Beast-followers may stalk prey and attempt to set ambushes, but they rely on headlong charges, ferocity, and grappling attacks. Magic-followers are more likely to use rudimentary tactics, particularly false retreats toward waiting ambushers. Magic-followers are more likely to run away to fight another day. Enslaved quaggoths, on the other hand have something of a death wish, and often continue to fight even when their masters tell them to flee.
