But where lycanthropes are savage and animal-like, lupinals are intelligent, regal, and poised-though they are quick to anger and ferocious when aroused.Combat-Lupinals are exceptionally skilled in combat.  They use pack tactics (such as surrounding opponents, chasing down enemies, and the aid another action) with great skill.  Their approach often involves ambush, deception, and misdirection as well.Fear Aura (Ex): When a lupinal howls, every creature within 600 feet (except other celestials) who can hear it must make a Will saving throw (DC 16).  On a failure, a creautre with 7 or fewer Hit Dice becomes panicked for 4d6 rounds; one with 8 or more Hit Dice becomes shaken for 4d6 rounds.  Success leaves the creature unaffected.  Once a creature has either been affected by this ability or made a successful save, it cannot be affected by that lupinal's howl again for 24 hours.Improved Grab (EX): If a Lupinal hits an opponent that is at least one size category smaller than itself with a bite attack, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +14).  The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use its jaws to hold the opponent (-20 penalty on the grapple check, but the lupinal is not considered grappled).  In either case, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals bite damage.Spell-like Abilities: At will- blink, blur, change self, darkness, ethereal jaunt; 3/day- cone of cold, cure light wounds, fly, magic missile.  Caster level 8th; save DC 12+spell level.Trip (EX): A lupinal that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent as a free action (see Trip in Chapter 8 of the Player's HAndbook) without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity.  If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the Lupinal.Dodge Missiles (EX): This abilitiy operates like the Deflect Arrows feat, except that the lupinal can dodge any missile and it need ot have its hands free. (The creature is dodging, not deflecting.)  This abilitiy is usable three times per round.Scent (EX): A lupinal can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.Wild Empathy (EX): This power works exactly like the druid's wild empathy class feature.</blockquote>
