Constrict (Ex): A Grauchen deals 1d6+7 points of damage with a successful grapple check against Medium-size or smaller creatures.

Grauchens gain Improved Initiative and improved trip as bonus feats.

Grauchens (Graw-kens (Like Draw-pens) are 10 foot long, winged snakes. They are territorial, and will fiercely protect young and mates, using they’re large fangs, and prehensile tails. In combat they will strike with their tails trying to trip, and then bite to deliver the venom, if the opponent is larger they will bite then try to constrict them. If they attack from above, they will attack by diving down and biting repeatedly.

Training a Grauchen
Training a Grauchen as an aerial mount requires a successful Handle Animal check (DC 21 for a young creature, or DC 28 for an adult) and that the creature is willing. Grauchens mature in about two years. Trainers can reduce the DC by 5 and the rearing time by one-half by using a magic bridle enchanted for this purpose.
Grauchen eggs are worth 4,500 gp apiece on the open market; while young are worth 9,000 gp each. Professional trainers charge 1,800 gp to rear or train a Grauchen. Riding a trained Grauchen requires an exotic saddle. A Grauchen can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds at a Ride check.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a Grauchen is up to 300 pounds; a medium load, 301-600 pounds; and a heavy load, 601-900 pounds.

I'm still confused on the Saves and attack and stuff

Re: Thanks

Nice!

I'm still confused on the Saves and attack and stuff

Beasts have good Fortitude and Reflex saves and bad Will saves. As 7-HD creatures, good saves are +5 and bad saves are +2. After stat modifications, the saves become +7/+8/+3.

The poison save DC is HD/2 + Con modifier, so it should be 15 instead of 11.

 

[Ferret]

That the bit that gets me, whats the HD<->Save formula?

 

[CRGreathouse]

Good saves: 1/2 HD + 2
Bad saves: 1/3 HD

Always round down.
