(poor), climb 10 ft.; Defense 17, touch 12, flat-footed 15 (+2 dex, +5 natural); BAB +2; Grap +4; Atk +4 melee (1d4+2, claw); Full Atk +4 melee (1d4+2, 2 claws), -1 melee (1d6+1+poison, bite); FS 5 ft. by 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.; SA Rage; SQ Scent; AL none; SV Fort +7, Ref +5, Will +2; AP 0; Rep +0; Str 14, Dex 15, Con 19, Int 1, Wis 12, Cha 10.Skills: Climb +15, Listen +6, Spot +6.Feats: --Poison (Ex):  Bite; Fortitude save (DC 15) negates; initial and secondary 1d4 Con.Rage (Ex):  A Norian Owl-Cat that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage the following round, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead.  An enraged Owl-cat gains +4 Strength, +4 Constitution, and -2 Defense.  The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.notes:remember, the poison dc is con based, so it increases to 17 during rage.gunfire, sucessful or otherwise, won't send the owl-cat into rage.  It's simply not smart enough to understand gunfire as an attack.</blockquote>
