A pangolin vaguely resembles an ant-eater, with a short body and squat legs. Its head is tiny and narrow with a long snout from which may curl a dextrous, foot-long tongue. Every inch of it is covered in wide, horny plates that overlap one another densely. Its long, flat tail is likewise covered in plates, with the serrated edges developing blunt points.
Combat:
Pangolins only fight if cornered, lashing out with their serrated tails, or slashing with their long claws. If the odds are against it it will roll into a tight ball, hoping to fend off blows.
Armored Ball (Ex):
A pangolin can roll into a tight ball when threatened, increasing its Armor Class by 4, but losing its dexterity modifier to AC and can take no action. In this state it is also immune to critical attacks.
Improved Low-Light Vision (Ex):
A pangolin is a nocturnal creature and can see three times as far as normal in dim light.
Skills:
A pangolin gains a +6 to Hide, Listen and Spot checks.
Familiar:
The owner of a pangolin familiar gains a +2 bonus to natural armor class

This tiny creature has a thick body and long broad tail, with a pointed snout and small beady eyes. Its body is covered with tough, keratinous scales which lay flat against its body while walking, although its legs and tail are not protected by these. Its long front claws bend under its forelimbs as it walks, and seems to be quite adept with them. Its long sticky tongue darts out to snag up some insects from a nearby insect mound that it has torn apart with its claws.
