Caster level 8th.  The save DC’s are Charisma based.Stability (Ex): The dergholoth’s three feet make it extra hard to trip or push, giving it a +4 bonus to avoid being tripped or bull rushed.Tear (Ex): Any creature that is pinned by a dergholoth automatically takes damage from all 5 of the dergholoth’s claw attacks every round so long as the pin is maintained. Summon Yugoloths (Sp):  Once per day, a dergholoth can attempt to summon 1d3 skereloths or another dergholoth with a 40% chance of success.  This is the equivalent of a 4th level spell.Does this look like a CR 7?  Its damage output looks pretty high, so I'm not too sure...</blockquote>
