Psi-like Abilities (Sp): 3/day - cloud mind (DC 14); 1/day - ego whip (DC 14). Manifester level 3rd; the save DCs are Charisma-based.

Because zhackals are scavengers, they prefer food that's already helpless or dead. If a pack finds a creature in the desert that looks vulnerable, they manifest cloud mind to hide themselves, then circle their prey and try to render it helpless with ego whips before consuming it.

When they aren't actively hunting, zhackals run rather than fight, even if their lairs or young are threatened.
