Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Shadovig react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They retain their Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) regardless of being caught flatfooted or struck by an invisible attack. They still lose their Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
Skills: Shadovig use their Dexterity for Climb and Jump checks. They receive a +2 racial bonus to Search, Spot, and Listen checks in addition to any additional bonuses they receive in darkness.
Shadovig prefer to avoid a direct fight, relying instead on the shadows to give them the ability sneak up on a target or make wicked use of their poisoned claws.
