Alternate Form (Su): An uthraki can assume the shape of any Small or Medium-size humanoid or monstrous humanoid at will. It can assume a new form as a standard action or return to its own form as a free action.

Improved Grab (Ex): If an uthraki hits an opponent that is at least one size category smaller than itself with a claw attack, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +14). If it gets a hold, it automatically deals claw damage. Thereafter, the uthraki has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use its claw to hold the opponent (-20 penalty on grapple check, but the uthraki is not considered grappled). In either case, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals claw damage.

Rend (Ex): An uthraki that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+7 points of damage.

All-Around Vision (Ex): In its natural form, an uthraki's circle of eyes allow it to see in all directions at once. Because of this, it gains a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks, and it can't be flanked, when in its natural form.

Night Fast Healing (Ex): At night, as long as it has at least 1 hit point, an uthraki recovers lost hit points at the rate of 2 per round. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, and it does not allow the uthraki to regrow or reattach lost body parts.

Uthrakis prefer to fight in their disguised form so their opponents cannot determine what sort of creature they truly are.

Their nails remain amazingly tough even in other forms, allowing them to attack creatures without changing form beforehand. They prefer to prowl and attack at night, for they are stronger in the dark.

Shapechanger Subtype
