A bizarre aberration known for it’s prodigious leaping ability, the hill hopper an odd predatory creature, with a great, misshapen sack of a head, with a single, red glaring eye, and a mouth-full of teeth like knives. The hopper’s name comes from it’s two immensely muscular, backwards facing legs , which are attached to the sides of it’s head and are adapted solely for jumping, propelling it in leaps up to 30’ or more.
Combat
Hill hoppers use their incredible jumping ability to get the drop on their prey, weather pouncing on it from above, or surprising it from below, groups of hill hoppers will mob their prey while solitary ones will use hit and run tactics. Hill hoppers are by no means stupid or suicidal will not hesitate to run when their prey proves too much for them

Interesting!

But, FYI, it's black text on a black background for me -- very hard to read.

Black text on a black background is tough on the eyes. Some of your stats seem off and it clearly needs to be proofread and edited. I'm not sure if this is an amalgam of 3.5 and Pathfinder since it has skills like perception and stealth rather than Spot and Listen. Is the jump bonus +1 or +10? It looks to be +10.

Skills: it has 5 skill ranks so I'm assuming it has +1 in all skills listed. Jump should be +11 if you are including the +10 bonus (and it should be noted in the section that the bonus is already included in the stats). It seems like the bonus should be a racial bonus as well.

For example:
Prodigious Leap (Ex): A hill hopper can jump up to 30 feet in a single bound and has a +10 racial bonus to all Jump checks (included in the stats above). Additionally, a hill hopper can Take 10 on a Jump check even when rushed or threatened.
