Adamantine jaws (Ex): Rockhounds have a natural ability to ignore hardness of less than 10 when sundering weapons or attacking objects and creatures.

Final Frenzy (Ex): Rockhounds always fight to their last breath. If an attack reduces a rockhound to negative hit points without killing it, the rockhound can, as a free action, make one last attack with a +4 bonus on its attack roll. Regardless of whether or not it succeeds with this attack the rockhound looses consciousness immediately afterward.

Skills:Rockhounds have a +4 bonus on Survival checks when using scent to track.
