I'll go for Str 13, but don't really want an "As Characters" section for what are essentially horses. Maybe a LA of (+x cohort).
So are we agreed on Str 13. Oh, and I like the cohort idea for them.

I believe I suggested something based on the Troglodyte.
Something like a grenade-like missile, which sickens for, say, 1d4 rounds on a direct hit, or 1 round with a "5 ft. splash", with a Dex save for half duration (direct hit) or no effect (splash).
I don't think they need it, but if both you and freyar want scent I won't stand in your way.

Okay, so it looks like we're dropping scent.
Something like this?
Flung Filth (Ex): A yahoo can fling a clump of its own filth as a splash weapon. Treat this as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. Any living creature (except yahoos and troglodytes) hit by the filth are sickened for 1d4 rounds (Reflex save for half duration), every creature within 5 feet of the point where the filth hits are sickened for 1 round by from the splash (Reflex save negates).
Hmm, I'm wondering whether a Fortitude save wouldn't make more sense, since that's what most sickened attacks use. We should probably add the 24 hour immunity and the poison save bonus too.

Any living creature (except yahoos and troglodytes) hit by the filth are sickened for 1d4 rounds (DC X Fortitude save for half duration), every creature within 5 feet of the point where the filth hits are sickened for 1 round by from the splash (DC X Fortitude save negates). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same troglodyte’s stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the effect from the sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws.
Alternatively, we could allow the target to use either their Ref or Fort save.Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same troglodyte’s stench for 24 hours.

Anything else you fancy adding?

Agreed.

So are you alright with it as-is.
Although now I'm wondering whether I prefer "Fling Filth (Ex)" or "Flung Filth (Ex)".
Hmm, after due consideration I still lean slightly towards Flung.
